instructions.
• Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block
cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the
product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section
in your troubleshooting guide or contact your trained service provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause a
fire or an electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service provider or local power company.
• To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection Switch (if
provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at your
location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan.
– 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan.
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

• Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power
available in your location.
Safety Instructions (continued)
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your system,
purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The power cable
must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the
product's electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable
should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent an electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables
into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-
prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove
the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-
wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not
exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power
strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they
cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power
company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if
offered with your system, observe the following guidelines:
– Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
– Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
– If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system
by
unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly
connected to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
General Precautions for Rack-
Mountable Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution
statements and procedures.

iv
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any system
as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and
side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over,
potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain
circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers
before installing components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull
more than one component out of the rack on its slide
assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one
extended component could cause the rack to tip over and
may result in serious injury.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,
extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install
front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple
racks before working on the rack.

v
Safety Instructions (continued)
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or
out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position,
and then slide the component into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack
load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a rack.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage,
discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
NOTE: A qualified electrician must perform all
connections to DC power and to safety grounds. All
electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or
national codes and practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate
the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground
conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable
grounding is available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively
grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not attempt to
connect power to the system until grounding cables are
connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring
must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector. An
energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted
or disconnected.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic
packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic
floor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic grounding strap.

Fast Ethernet Technology
The growing importance of LANs and the increasing
complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the
need for high performance networks. A number of high-speed
LAN technologies are proposed to provide greater bandwidth
and improve client/server response times. Among them, Fast
Ethernet, or 100BASE-T, provides a non-disruptive, smooth
evolution from 10BASE-T technology.
100Mbps Fast Ethernet is a standard specified by the IEEE
802.3 LAN committee. It is an extension of the 10Mbps
Ethernet standard with the ability to transmit and receive data
at 100Mbps, while maintaining the Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Ethernet
protocol.
