Safety and Comfort
• Ensure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the
rack.
• Extend only one component at a time. The rack may become unstable if more
than one component is extended.
• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a
component into the rack. The slide rails could pinch your fingers.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
The total rack load should not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating.
Precautions for Products with External Television
Antenna Connectors
In addition to the general precautions described earlier in this section, be sure to
observe the following precautions when using external television antennas with
your product. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire, bodily
injury, and damage to the equipment.
Compatibility
Compaq television tuner cards with antenna connections should be used only with
Compaq personal computers that are intended for home use.
External Television Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to protect against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about proper electrical grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
