Important Safety Warnings
Electrical Safety
Danger
Failure to follow these electrical safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the Workstation.
Ensure you are connecting the power to an AC power circuit with sufficient capacity to support 15A. Failure to connect to dedicated 15A breaker may result in tripping the breaker, or dangerous operating conditions.
Do not share the outlet with other high-power devices. Avoid using household surge strips, extension cords, or multi-outlet power taps; not all are rated for the sustained current of this system.
Use only the provided C19 power cable, and ensure it is plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Do not bypass or disable the grounding pin. Using a non-Tenstorrent approved power cable may result in dangerous operating conditions.
If the circuit becomes overloaded or if the breaker trips during power-up or operation, immediately disconnect and remove power. Then, have a qualified electrician inspect and verify the circuit’s capacity before resuming setup.
Never attempt to reset or bypass a tripped breaker without first confirming the circuit integrity; failure to do so may result in overheating, voltage drop, or irreversible damage.
Electrostatic Discharge Safety
Important
Before opening the TT-QuietBox 2 Blackhole workstation or handling any internal components, you must discharge static electricity from your body to avoid damaging sensitive hardware. Electrostatic discharge can permanently damage Tensix cores, memory modules, or other components. Handle with care and always follow ESD-safe practices.
Touch a grounded metal surface, such as a grounded rack, chassis, or power supply casing, before and during internal handling.
Ideally, wear an ESD wrist strap connected to a verified ground point.
Avoid working on carpeted floors or in low-humidity environments where static buildup is more likely.
Do not touch any processor, memory module, connector, or printed circuit board (PCB) circuitry unless absolutely necessary, and only after properly discharging.
