number G229-9054 in the IBM Publications Center.
Chapter 1. Notices 3

The following notices and statements are used in IBM documents. They are listed in order of decreasing
severity of potential hazards.
Danger notice denition
A special note that emphasizes a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people.
Caution notice denition
A special note that emphasizes a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some
existing condition, or to a potentially dangerous situation that might develop because of some unsafe
practice.
Note: In addition to these notices, labels might be attached to the product to warn of potential hazards.
Finding translated notices
Each safety notice contains an identication number. You can use this identication number to check the
safety notice in each language.
To nd the translated text for a caution or danger notice:
1. In the product documentation, look for the identication number at the end of each caution notice or
each danger notice. In the following examples, the numbers (D002) and (C001) are the identication
numbers.
DANGER: A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing
death or serious personal injury. (D002)
CAUTION: A caution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing
moderate or minor personal injury. (C001)
2. After you download the IBM System Safety Notices document, open it.
3. Under the language, nd the matching identication number. Review the topics about the safety
notices to ensure that you are in compliance.
Danger and caution notices
Before you install, service, or move a Model 092 expansion enclosure, always read and follow the safety
notices and guidelines.
Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice (for example, D005) to nd the
matching translated notice in IBM Systems Safety Notices.
DANGER: Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To
remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords. (L003)
DANGER:
4 IBM Elastic Storage System 5000: Model 092 Hardware Guide

Hazardous voltage present. Voltages present constitute a shock hazard, which can cause severe
injury or death. (L004)
DANGER:
Hazardous energy present. Voltages with hazardous energy might cause heating when shorted
with metal, which might result in splattered metal, burns, or both. (L005)
DANGER:
Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:
•Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
•Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
•Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
•To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting
from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
•Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top
of rack-mounted devices.
•Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in
the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
•Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device
installed in a different rack cabinet.
•An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (R001 part 1
of 2)
CAUTION:
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection.
To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
• (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack
might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
• (For xed drawers) This drawer is a xed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specied by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of
the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001 part 2 of 2)
Chapter 1. Notices 5

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack
stability during a relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated
rack cabinet within a room or building.
• Remove all disks from the attached enclosure before moving the rack.
• Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack
cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the conguration of the rack cabinet as you
received it. If this conguration is not known, you must observe the following precautions.
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below
the 32U level.
