Before reading this manual

For your safety

This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this

product.

Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to

the accompanying manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" and ensure these

safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual and the

manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" in a safe place for easy reference while

using this product.

Radio interference

This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a

domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case

the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board

assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of

these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage

or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.

As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not

expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).

However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the

product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of

replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life.

Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of

trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.

High safety use

This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial

and/or industrial areas as a server.

When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field

of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).

The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an

extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body

if such safety cannot be assured.

Operating Manual CX2550/60/70 M4

These uses include control of nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants,

automatic airplane flight control, air traffic control, traffic control in mass

transport systems, medical devices for life support, and missile guidance

control in weapons systems (hereafter, "high safety use"). Customers should

not use this product for high safety use unless measures are in place for

ensuring the level of safety demanded of such use. Please consult the sales

staff of Fujitsu if intending to use this product for high safety use.

Measures against momentary voltage drop

This product may be affected by a momentary voltage drop in the power supply

caused by lightning. To prevent a momentary voltage drop, use of an AC

uninterruptible power supply is recommended.

(This notice follows the guidelines of Voltage Dip Immunity of Personal

Computer issued by JEITA, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology

Industries Association.)
