We recommend the following operating guidelines for the RAC6181
Computer:
•
Avoid turning the system on and off frequently.
•
Never turn the system off when the hard drive indicator light is
illuminated.
•
Always use the proper power down procedures as required by your
operating system, such as the Shut Down command in Microsoft®
Windows.
•
Do not turn off the computer until a message appears telling you that
it is safe to do so.
•
Do not operate the RAC6181 Computer with covers removed. An
electrical shock hazard exists. In addition, removing the covers will
disrupt air flow and may result in overheating. All covers are
required to maintain EMI shield.
ATTENTION: After shutting the system off, do not
move the computer or turn it back on again until the hard
drive has come to a complete stop (takes about 30
seconds).
If you are using an external monitor, turn on the monitor
first.
Operator access is limited to the front panel of the RAC6181 Computer.
This includes the display and touchscreen. Access to components behind
the rack or panel that the RAC6181 Computer is installed in is restricted
to authorized and properly trained personnel.
