Chapter 3. Maintenance, Technical Specifications, and Regulatory Information

This chapter contains information on how to take care of your flat panel monitor, technical specifications, and regulatory information.

Cleaning and General Care of the Flat Panel Monitor

Handle your flat panel monitor with care. A sharp instrument such as a pen can scratch the monitor's surface and felt-tip pens can leave permanent stains. Do not place objects on the glass surface, especially suction devices (although Post-it notes cause no damage).

From time to time dust builds up on the surface of the monitor, and you need to clean it to get the best possible image. Follow the steps below to clean the monitor.


Caution: Use only a soft cloth, either dry or moistened with water. Using other substances, abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads, alcohol, or ammonia to clean the monitor scratches or otherwise damages the monitor's surface. Also, do not spray directly on the coated glass surface, because the liquid may drip inside the unit and damage the components.


  1. Dampen a soft cloth with water just enough so it does not streak.

  2. Wipe the glass surface of the monitor gently with the cloth.

Manufacturer's Regulatory Declarations

For detailed regulatory information, refer to Appendix A, “Statements of Compliance” at the end of this manual.

This product conforms to several national and international specifications and European Directives listed on the “Manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity.” The CE insignia displayed on each device is an indication of conformity to the European requirements.


Caution: This product has several governmental and third-party approvals, licenses, and permits. Do not modify this product in any way that is not expressly approved by SGI. If you do, you may lose these approvals and your governmental agency authority to operate this device.


Shielded Cables

The flat panel monitor is FCC-compliant under test conditions that include the use of shielded cables. Shielded cables reduce the possibility of interference with radio, television, and other devices. If you use any cables that are not from SGI, make sure they are shielded.

The cable that attaches the flat panel monitor to your host computer or adapter board uses additional filtering molded into the cable jacket to reduce radio frequency interference. If your monitor cable becomes damaged, contact your service provider.

Electrostatic Discharge

SGI designs and tests its products to be immune to the effects of electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is a source of electromagnetic interference and can cause problems ranging from data errors and lockups to permanent component damage.

The shielded cable that attaches the flat panel monitor to your host system or adapter board should be correctly installed and in good condition.
