SAFETY INFORMATION

To ensure a safe and smooth operation of your InWin IW-PLM Tower, it is essential that you choose

an appropriate location for the system, provide an appropriate operating environment, and supply

an adequate amount of power for all components in the system. As you plan for installation, follow

the guidelines below to ensure that the system and its environment are safely and appropriately

positioned for efficient operation and service. Your system should be installed and serviced only by

a qualified technician.

Thank you for choosing the InWin IW-PLM Tower. This manual is written for system technicians who

are responsible for installation, managing, and repairing this server chassis. This document provides

an overview of all the features of the chassis, a list of accessories or other components you may

User Manual

Proper Environment Selection: The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment:

• The location should be clean, dry, and free of airborne particles.

• It should be placed in a well-ventilated room, and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight

and radiators.

• It should be kept away from sources of vibration or physical shock.

• The space should be accommodated with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient space to

access the power supply cords.

• The operating environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

Heed Safety Instructions: Before working with InWin IPC/storage/SMB storage server products, we strongly

recommend you use this guide as a reference and follow the safety instructions. The instructions in this

manual will help you ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals.

Follow the described, regulated components mentioned in this manual. Use of non-UL listing products or

other regulators may not comply with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.

Hazardous Conditions, Devices and Cables: Hazardous electrical conditions can be present on/in

power supply units and their cables. Disconnect the power cord and any other devices attached to the

server before opening the case. Failing to follow safety procedures will increase the risk of personal

injury or equipment damage.

System Power On/Off: The power button DOES NOT totally turn off the system AC power.

To remove the power of the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the outlet or the system’s

power supply unit(s). Make sure the power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis or add/

remove any component.

To avoid damage and maintain your safety, please read the following terms listed below:

Installing or Removing Jumpers: A jumper is a short length conductor used to close, open, or bypass part of

an electronic circuit. Jumpers on InWin backplanes have a small tab on top that you can pick up with your

fingertips. Grip the jumper carefully and plug the jumper to cover the jumper pins on the backplane. Once

you need to remove the jumper, grip the jumper and carefully pull without squeezing.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and ESD Protection: In most cases, ESD may damage disk drives,

electronic boards, and other parts. We recommend that you conduct installation only at an ESD free

space. If not possible, perform ESD protection protocol by wearing anti-static wrist straps attached to

the ground on any unpainted metal surface on your server during operation.

CAUTION

Do not populate hard drives and turn on the power until the system has stabilized. Make

sure hard drives and other components are properly connected before turning on the

system.

Tighten or loosen all screws with a screwdriver.

Apply the correct screws packed in the accessories box.

For your safety, please have at least two people lift and install the unit in its

designated area.
