Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Using a UPS prevents power fluctuations and surges on power sources
from utilities. Windows NT files can be corrupted as a result of power
failure or improper system shutdown.
Caution: Corrupted files may not be repairable and may require re-
installation of Windows NT and AltiWare. To protect your
system from surges and power outages, it is strongly
recommended that an adequate UPS (providing between
600VA and 1000VA) and power surge protector is used
with the system.
Operating Environment
Before you set up and use the system, consider the environment in which
the system will reside:
• Choose a work surface large enough to accommodate the entire
system.
• Use a flat, stable work surface with enough space around it for proper
air circulation. For proper heat dissipation, a fan is recommended in
front of the AltiGen telephony boards to ensure sufficient airflow. Be
sure the fan filter is clean and does not block the airflow.
The following table contains the operating specifications for the AltiGen
telephony board.
Table 1. AltiGen Board Operating Environmentals
AltiGen Telephony Boards
AltiGen telephony boards are installed into the AltiServ motherboard
expansion slots or can be used individually as a third-party developer
application platform. To obtain maximum performance reliability and
long-term, fault-free operation, you must maintain power and
environmental conditions specified at the end of this section.
