Environmental protection and service
The PRIMEPOWER systems have a long life expectancy, not only because of the excellent
expansion options they offer, but also because of the quality of the products.
As technology continues to develop, however, ever greater volumes of data will need to be
processed. More and more demands are being placed on storage capacity, speed and
computer system design. So when you eventually want to replace your PRIMEPOWER
system with a newer model and dispose of the old device, we can also offer you support in
this area.
Recycling old computer equipment is already a tradition at Fujitsu Siemens Computers: We
have been redeeming and reusing old computer systems for many years now. Even at the
design stage, particular emphasis is placed on the reusability of components and materials.
Your PRIMEPOWER system is manufactured to the greatest possible extent from environ-
mentally friendly materials that can be fully recycled.
Read on through the next sections for a brief look at some of the measures we have intro-
duced in an effort to protect the environment as well as our tips and suggestions for environ-
mentally friendly handling of your system.
Environmentally friendly product design and development
This product has been designed in accordance with the Siemens standard “environmentally
friendly product design and development”.
This means that the designers have taken into account critical factors such as durability,
selection of materials and coding, emissions, packaging, the ease with which the product
can be dismantled and the extent to which it can be recycled.
This saves resources and thus reduces the harm done to the environment.
Production and development of the PRIMEPOWER systems are certified in accordance
with the environment management system DIN ISO 14001.
Note on saving energy
If your device does not have to remain switched on permanently, only switch it on when you
are ready to use it and then switch it off again during long breaks and when you finish your
work.

Note on dealing with consumables
Please dispose of printer consumables and batteries in accordance with local government
regulations.
Note on labeling plastic housing parts
Please avoid sticking your own labels on plastic housing parts wherever possible, since this
makes it difficult to recycle them.

Normal
operation
Electric shock
The power that is supplied to the main unit
cannot be turned off with the power switch alone.
The main unit has several power cables. To turn
off all power to the main unit, after the power
switch has been turned off, disconnect all of
these power cables.
7, 57
Equipment damage
Observe the following precautions to prevent
damage to the PRIMEPOWER650 rack-mount
type (8U) server.
19
Equipment damage
Connect the ground before connecting any of the
power supply lines. If all of the power cables are
connected to a single power strip, high leakage
current exceeding the stipulated value may leak
through to the earth lead of the power strip.
If the power strip is not directly connected to the
main distribution panel, use a power strip with an
industrial plug (CEE17/IEC309).
20
Equipment damage
lThe power cables must be connected to an easily
accessible, grounded outlet.
lThe power cables must be connected in a way
that ensures that power does not exceed the
circuit breaker capacity of the power distribution
panel or that of the power distribution box in the
rack.

FOR SAFE OPERATION
Normal
operation
Data destruction
Turn on the power to the console terminal
(connected to a serial port) after turning on the
power to the main unit. If the console terminal is
turned on before turning on the main unit, and the
mode switch is set to UNLOCK or
MAINTENANCE, a Break signal may cause the
destruction of data by changing the state of the
machine to OBP (ok prompt) during the Solaris
Operating Environment operation.
35, 79
Data destruction
Before turning off the power, check the following
to prevent the destruction of data:
lWhen some programs are being executed, quit
them.
lWhen someone is currently using the system,
make them stop.
lWhen a data cartridge is in the drive, eject it. See
Section 5.3.8, "Ejecting a data cartridge."
lBack up any files containing critical data before
turning off the power.
lDo not turn off the power to the console while the
main unit power is on. While the mode switch is
set to UNLOCK or MAINTENANCE, a Break
signal might interrupt the Solaris Operating
Environment and change the state of the
machine to OBP (ok prompt), which might
destroy data.
lWhen the main unit is turned off, the message
“POWER ON READY” is displayed on the
operator panel. Before responding in
confirmation of this message, do not turn off any
peripheral device or UPS, do not disconnect any
power cable or power distribution box, and do not
turn off power to any other main unit.
36
Data destruction
Before using this product, always install the
Enhanced Support Facility. If this facility is not
installed, a switch or status display LCD
malfunction might occur and destroy data.

FOR SAFE OPERATION
Normal
operation
Equipment damage/Data destruction
Use only the following data cartridges. Use of any
other data cartridge may cause the DAT drive to
malfunction.
119
Equipment damage/Data destruction
Pay attention to the following when handling data
cartridges. If these precautions are not observed
the unit may be damaged or data may be lost.
lAvoid using or storing data cartridges in the
following environments and locations:
- Environments subject to extreme temperatures
and humidity
- Dirty environments (cigarette smoke, dust,
corrosive gases, etc.)
- Locations that are likely to adversely affect the
magnetic tape material
- Locations subject to sunlight
- Locations subject to impact or vibrations
- Locations near heating equipment
lWhen a data cartridge is not to be used for a long
time, remove it from the DAT drive, and put it in
its case. Store under the following conditions:
Temperature: 5-32 °C (41-89 °F)
Humidity: 20-60% (non-condensing)
lDo not place data cartridges in an area subject to
liquid spills.
lDo not drop data cartridges on the floor or subject
them to impact.
lDo not open the tape cover or turn the tape reel
unnecessarily.
lDo not force data cartridges into the DAT drive.
lIf the ambient temperature or humidity changes
rapidly, wait for the data cartridge to adapt to the
new conditions (at least one hour) before
inserting it in the DAT drive.
lEach data cartridge has a long but limited service
life. This varies according to the operating
environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.)
and condition of the DAT drive. Generally,
replace data cartridges with new after they have
been used 75 times or after one year of use,
whichever occurs first.

FOR SAFE OPERATION
Normal
operation
Equipment damage/Data destruction
The DAT drive reads and writes data using a
magnetic head. This head becomes dirty due to
dust, dirt and magnetic particles off the tape
inside data cartridges. If you do not periodically
clean the magnetic head using a cleaning
cartridge, the unit may become damaged or data
may be lost.
