Safety Information

•“General Cautions” on page vii
Electrical Cautions
CAUTION: Use only the power cable provided with your Topspin system. Inspect the power cord and
determine if it provides the proper plug and is appropriately certified for use with your electrical system.
Discard the cord if it is inappropriate for your country’s electrical system and obtain the proper cord, as
required by your national electrical codes or ordinances.

vi
CAUTION: Grounding is supplied by the ground-prong on the 3-prong power cable. Do not attach a
separate ground cable. Do not use adapter plugs. Do not remove the ground prong from the cable.
Ensure the ground connection on the power supply is correct and functioning before applying power to
the Topspin system.
CAUTION: Always ground yourself before touching any internal Topspin system component to avoid
damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
CAUTION: Remove power cables by grasping the cable connector and pulling straight out.If the
chassis comes equipped with a power-plug retainer, move the bail wire used to retain the plug to the
side before attempting to remove the power plug.
The operator must disconnect all power cables before attempting to remove the system from the rack.
CAUTION: The Topspin system contains lithium batteries. Do not attempt to replace or discard these
batteries. The batteries may only be serviced by Topspin service personnel.
CAUTION: Observe and follow service markings. Do not service the Topspin system, except as
explained in the Topspin documentation supplied with your system. Opening the chassis or removing
the enclosure cover exposes you to electrical shock and may damage system components.
If one or more of the following situations occurs, remove power to the Topspin system chassis, and
contact your Topspin support representative:
• The power cable or power plug is damaged.
• The system has been exposed to water.
• The system has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• The system does not operate correctly after following the installation instructions.
CAUTION: You must ensure the operating environment has adequate air circulation. Keep the
Topspin system in a cool, well-ventilated room. Do not block cooling vents. Install filler panels into all
unused slots.
CAUTION: Never place your hand inside an empty card or module bay. You should never have cause
to place a hand anywhere inside the Topspin chassis. Unused card and module bays should always have
a Topspin cover over the bay to ensure proper safety, ventilation, and cooling.

vii
General Cautions
CAUTION: No user is authorized to remove the Topspin system enclosure cover. The internal chassis
contains no user-serviceable components. Removing the enclosure cover voids your warranty. See the
warranty card for further details regarding the servicing of your chassis.
CAUTION: Opening and/or modifying expansion and system modules may void your warranty. Refer
to your warranty to determine access restrictions.
In general
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components.
• Protect your Topspin system from sudden power-surges and interruptions by using a surge
suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
• Place cables appropriately so that they do not obstruct any egress within the data center and they do
not block any ventilation inlets or outlets.
• Rack mount the Topspin chassis according to the rack manufacturer recommendations.
