Main risks

• Cuts or scratches when handling sheet metal, edges or fixings.
• Trapped fingers when fitting or removing panels, covers and drive bays.
• Shattering of toughened glass panels with possible flying shards.
• Tipping or dropping the chassis when moving it or placing it on unstable surfaces; increased risk due to its weight.
• Overheating due to blocked grilles, poor ventilation or dust build-up, with possible damage to internal components.
• Injury from contact with moving fans or from cables getting into the blades.
• Damage to components from static electricity during assembly or internal maintenance.
• Damage from liquid spills on the chassis or through the openings.

Safe use

• Always work with the system switched off and unplugged from the mains before opening the chassis or handling the interior.
• Place the chassis on a flat, stable surface with clear space around it to ensure good airflow.
• Handle panels with both hands; hold the glass by the edges and avoid knocks or twisting. Remove the glass panel before moving the system.
• Do not block grilles or filters. Keep fan areas and air outlets clear.
• Route and secure cabling so it cannot rub against fans or obstruct airflow.
• Secure fans, filters and included accessories following the manufacturer's instructions. Do not touch the blades when the system is switched on.
• Avoid placing drinks or other liquids on the chassis. If liquid is spilled, switch off and unplug, dry completely and ensure there is no moisture before using again.
• Reduce static electricity by working on a non-conductive surface and grounding yourself before touching internal components.
• Observe the space and compatibility limitations specified by the chassis manufacturer to avoid interference or undue pressure on components.

Storage and maintenance

• Store and use the chassis in dry, well-ventilated places, away from sources of heat, humidity and excessive dust.
• For transport, use the original packaging or equivalent padding. Remove or protect the glass panels to prevent impacts.
• Do not stack heavy objects on the chassis or sit on it.
• Clean filters and grilles periodically to maintain good airflow. Switch off and unplug before cleaning.
• Use low-pressure air or a soft brush to remove dust. Hold the fans while cleaning to prevent them from spinning excessively.
• Clean surfaces with a soft, dry cloth or one that is slightly damp. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage paintwork, plastics or the glass.
• Check screws, fixings and feet regularly; tighten if you detect any play and replace damaged parts.

Restrictions on use

• Not intended for use by children. Contains small parts, heavy panels and edges that require adult handling.
• Do not use the chassis outdoors or in environments with high humidity, steam, grease or industrial dust.
• Do not modify the chassis structure (drilling, cutting, altering supports or mounts) or force the installation of components that do not fit.
• Do not cover the chassis with fabrics or enclose it in furniture without sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place heavy objects or equipment on the top of the chassis and do not lean on the glass panel.
• Do not use the product if any glass panel is cracked, if there are structural deformations or loose parts.
• Do not overload included hubs, ports or controllers with more devices than specified by their manufacturer.
