Installation Requirements
- Must be reliably grounded to prevent ESD and interference.
- Fiber optic or network cable connections must comply with布线 (wiring) standards.
- Ensure the cabinet is free from corrosive gases.
Precautions for Use
- Firmware upgrades must strictly follow official guidelines.
- Avoid use in high-vibration environments without proper mechanical reinforcement.
- Regularly check battery status (if applicable) to maintain clock and cache integrity.
