Safety, environmental, and electronic emissions notices
Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide. DANGER notices warn you of conditions or
procedures that can result in death or severe personal injury. CAUTION notices warn you of conditions
or procedures that can cause personal injury that is neither lethal nor extremely hazardous. Attention
notices warn you of conditions or procedures that can cause damage to machines, equipment, or
programs.
DANGER notices
DANGER
To prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different protective ground (earth),
use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables. (D001)
DANGER
Overloading a branch circuit is potentially a fire hazard and a shock hazard under certain
conditions. To avoid these hazards, ensure that your system electrical requirements do not exceed
branch circuit protection requirements. Refer to the information that is provided with your device
or the power rating label for electrical specifications. (D002)
DANGER
If the receptacle has a metal shell, do not touch the shell until you have completed the voltage and
grounding checks. Improper wiring or grounding could place dangerous voltage on the metal shell.
If any of the conditions are not as described, STOP. Ensure the improper voltage or impedance
conditions are corrected before proceeding. (D003)
DANGER
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. (D004)
DANGER

When working on or around the system, observe the following precautions:
Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To
avoid a shock hazard:
vConnect power to this unit only with the IBM®ISS provided power cord. Do not use the IBM
ISS provided power cord for any other product.
vDo not open or service any power supply assembly.
vDo not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration
of this product during an electrical storm.
vThe product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all hazardous voltages,
disconnect all power cords.
vConnect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet
supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating plate.
vConnect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets.
vWhen possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables.
vNever turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage.
vDisconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems before
you open the device covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration
procedures.
vConnect and disconnect cables as described in the following procedures when installing, moving,
or opening covers on this product or attached devices.
To disconnect:
1. Turn off everything (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Remove the power cords from the outlets.
3. Remove the signal cables from the connectors.
4. Remove all cables from the devices.
To connect:
1. Turn off everything (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Attach all cables to the devices.
3. Attach the signal cables to the connectors.
4. Attach the power cords to the outlets.
5. Turn on the devices.

CAUTION notices
CAUTION:
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules
that operate at great than Class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an optical
fiber cable or open receptacle. (C027)

CAUTION:
The battery contains lithium. To avoid possible explosion, do not burn or charge the battery.
Do not:
vThrow or immerse into water
vHeat to more than 100°C (212°F)
vRepair or disassemble
Exchange only with the IBM ISS-approved part. Recycle or discard the battery as instructed by local
regulations. In the United States, IBM ISS has a process for the collection of this battery. For
information, call 1-800-426-4333. Have the IBM ISS part number for the battery unit available when
you call. (C003)
CAUTION:
For 19” rack mount products:
vDo 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.
vDo 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.
vConsideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading 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.
v(For sliding drawers) Do not pull 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.
v(For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified 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.
