B.1.2. Safety Cautions

Thermal and Mechanical Injury

Certain components such as heat sinks, power regulators, and processors may be hot. Heatsink fans are not guarded. Power supply fan may be accessible through guard. Care should be taken to avoid contact with these components.

Cooling Requirements

Maintain a minimum clearance area of 5 centimeters (2 inches) around the side, front and back of the board for cooling purposes. Do not block power supply ventilation holes and fan.

Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)

This equipment has not been tested for compliance with emission limits of FCC and similar international regulations. Use of this equipment in a residential location is prohibited. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy which may result in harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you are required to take measures to eliminate this interference.

Telecommunications Port Restrictions

The wireline telecommunications ports (modem, xDSL, T1/E1) on this product must not be connected to the Public Switched Telecommunication Network (PSTN) as it might result in disruption of the network. No formal telecommunication certification to FCC, R&TTE Directive, or other national requirements have been obtained.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning

A properly grounded ESD wrist strap must be worn during operation/installation of the boards, connection of cables, or during installation or removal of daughter cards. Failure to use wrist straps can damage components within the system.

Attention: Please return this product to Intel for proper disposition. If it is not returned, refer to local environmental regulations for proper recycling. Do not dispose of this product in unsorted municipal waste.

Lithium Ion Battery Warnings

Lithium Battery: Risk of explosion if the lithium battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Risk of fire, explosion, or chemical burn if the battery is mistreated (punctured or crushed). Do not attempt to disassemble. Do not incinerate. Observe proper polarity when replacing battery. Do not dispose—the battery is intended to be serviced and disposed by qualified Intel® service personnel only.

Perchlorate Material: Special handling may apply. For more details, refer to www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. This notice is required by California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 4.5, Chapter 33: Best Management Practices for Perchlorate Materials. This product includes a battery which contains perchlorate material.

Taiwan battery recycling:

Please return this product to Intel® for proper disposition. If it is not returned, refer to local environmental regulations for proper recycling. Do not dispose of product in unsorted municipal waste.
