Handling precautions
CAUTION
- Inspect the as-received device for damages. If the device enclosure is damaged, contact Microsoft Support to obtain a replacement. Don't 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. Don't attempt to service the device.
- The device contains no user-serviceable parts. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside. Don't open. Return the device to Microsoft for servicing.
WARNING!
- A fully configured enclosure can weigh up to 22.7 kg (50 lbs); don't 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 isn't to be used as shelves or work spaces. Don't 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. Don't 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 is 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. Don't attempt to service the device. Batteries in this device aren't 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.
