Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing any electronic device:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your device.
Electrical Current Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

System Security
To set up system security, select the “Security” option under “Main” to bring up the following screen.
This menu includes two options: “Set Password” and “Security Option.”
When you select the Set Password option, a pop-up “Enter Password:” window will appear on the screen. The password that you type will replace the password stored in the CMOS memory. You will be required to confirm the new password. Just re-type the password and then press <Enter>. You may also press <Enter> to abort the selection and not enter a password.
To clear an existing password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will show up confirming that the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter the “BIOS Setup Menu” without entering a password.
Once a password has been set, you will be prompted to enter the password each time you enter Setup. This prevents unauthorized persons from changing any part of your system configuration. In addition, when a password setting is enabled, you can set up the BIOS to request a password each time the system is booted up.
The “Security Option” setting determines when a password prompt is required. If the “Security Option” is set to “System,” the password must be entered both at boot up and when entering the BIOS Setup Menu. If the password is set for “Setup,” the password prompt only occurs when you enter the “BIOS Setup Menu.”

Safe Installation Guidelines
A. RTC Battery Warning
CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
B. Fuse Warning
CAUTION: For continued protection against fire, replace only with same type and rating of fuse.
C. Rackmount Warning
The following or similar rackmount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
(1) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
(2) Reduced Air Flow: Equipment should be installed on the rack in a manner that does not compromise the amount of air flow required for safe operations.
(3) Mechanical Loading: Equipment should be mounted on the rack in a manner that does not cause hazardous conditions from uneven mechanical loads.
(4) Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when evaluating this concern.
(5) Reliable Grounding: Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., by using power strips).
