4. Hardware Requirements and Precautions
1. Only one interface connection may be used at once per computer system.
2. Whenever turning off or unplugging your SA2TB2 from your computer system, please always
remember to safely remove it from your operating system rst.
3. While the In-chassis temperature reaches up to 55 degree-C (131 degree-F), in order to get rid of
the heat efficiently, your SA2TB2 will turn fan parts to full speed automatically.
And once the In-chassis temperature drops down to 50 degree-C (122 degree-F), you could
then set fan speed at Fan Speed Switch manually to reduce its fan noise for a better green
environment at both of a lower fan noise and the power saving.

If the alarm indicator has lit up red and the audio alarm sounds, this could mean that either a system
fan has stopped operating entirely. When this occurs, you may press the mute button at the rear
of the system to shut off the audio alarm and power off the system immediately if in the allowed
operational state to let the system cool. Check and see if the overall operation environment is well
ventilated and make sure there are no blockages to the enclosed fan and then re-power on the
system to continue use. If the problem persists, please turn o the system and contact your supplier
or the STARDOM tech support for further assistance.
