Safety notices and their translations
Safety notices are printed in English throughout this document.
ADanger notice warns you of conditions or procedures that can result in death or
severe personal injury.
ACaution warns you of conditions or procedures that can cause personal injury that
is neither lethal nor extremely hazardous.
An Attention notice warns you of conditions or procedures that can cause damage
to machines, equipment, programs, or data.
For translations of the danger and caution notices, see Expandable Storage Plus
2104 Model DS4 and Model TS4 Translated Safety Notices,SC26-7558. The
notices are listed in numeric order based on their IDs, which are displayed in

©Copyright IBM Corp. 2003 vii

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Attention: When you handle field-replaceable units (FRUs) and other computer
parts, take these precautions to avoid static damage:
vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
vAlways touch the computer parts carefully. Hold the cards by their edges or metal
cover. Never touch any exposed circuits.
vPrevent people who are not correctly grounded from touching computer parts.
vBefore you install anew part, touch the static-protective package that contains
the part against an unpainted metal part of the 2104 Model DS4, 2104 Model
TS4, or host system for at least 2seconds. This reduces the static electricity in
the package and in your body.
vRemove the part from its package and, if possible, install it directly into the 2104
Model DS4 or Model TS4 without putting the part down. If you must put the part
down, follow these steps:
1. Place the static-protective package that contained the part onto asmooth,
level surface.
2. Place the part onto the static-protective package. Do not place the part
directly onto any metal surface.
Safety inspection procedures
The safety inspection procedures describe how to inspect the 2104 Model DS4 or
Model TS4.
CAUTION:
The 2104 Model DS4 and Model TS4 are designed to be installed by the
