Viglen Genie Executive pBTX 915 User Guide V1.0

• Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities. On the Genie

Executive pBTX, the positive side should be facing up. This battery must be

replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the

manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's

instructions.

General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the Viglen Genie Executive 915 pBTX clean and free of

clutter.

• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been

removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be

stepped on.

• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or

be pulled into a cooling fan.

• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact

with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

• After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it

to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have

been made.

ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical

charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to

neutralise this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed

circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralise this

difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags

until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
