Handling precautions

CAUTION

• Inspect the as-received device for damages. If the device enclosure is damaged, contact Microsoft Support to obtain a replacement. Do not attempt to operate the device.
• The device is equipped with tamper-proof screws. If you suspect the device is malfunctioning, contact Microsoft Support to obtain a replacement. Do not attempt to service the device.
• The device contains no user-serviceable parts. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside. Do not open. Return the device to Microsoft for servicing.

WARNING!

• A fully configured enclosure can weigh up to 22.7 kg (50 lbs); do not try to lift it by yourself.
• Before moving the enclosure, always ensure that two people are available to handle the weight. Be aware that one person attempting to lift this weight can sustain injuries.

WARNING!

• Place the device on a flat, hard, and stable surface to avoid a potential tip hazard.
• Rack-mounted equipment is not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place the Data Box on top of rack-mounted equipment. Adding any type of load to an extended rack-mounted unit can create a potential tip hazard that could lead to injury, death, or product damage.

WARNING!

• Set up the device in a work area allowing for adequate air circulation around the device.
• Install the device in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants and allow for adequate air circulation around the device.
• Keep the device away from sources of liquid and excessively humid environments.

Electrical precautions

WARNING!

• Provide a safe electrical earth connection to the power supply cord. The AC cord has a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding pin.

• Given that the plug on the power supply cord is the main disconnect device, ensure that the socket outlets are located near the device and are easily accessible.

• Unplug the power cord (by pulling the plug, not the cord) and disconnect all cables if any of the following conditions exist:

  • The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
  • You spill something into the device casing.
  • The device is exposed to rain or excess moisture.
  • The device was dropped and the device casing is damaged.
  • You suspect the device needs service or repair.

• Permanently unplug the unit before you move it or if you think it has become damaged in any way.

• Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the following power specifications:

  • Voltage: 100 V AC to 240 V AC
  • Current: 6 A, maximum
  • Frequency: 50 Hz to 60 Hz

CAUTION:

• This device contains coin cell batteries. Do not attempt to service the device. Batteries in this device are not user serviceable.
• For service personnel only: Risk of Explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the used batteries according to instructions.

NOTICE:

For the proper operation of your device and to prevent product damage:

• Ensure that the front and back doors are fully open while the device is running.
