Rack Safety Instructions
vDo not install this unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will
exceed 40 degrees C.
vDo not install this unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Any side, front or
back of the unit used for air flow through the unit must not be in direct contact with
the rack.
vCare should be taken to ensure that a hazardous condition is not created due to
uneven mechanical loading when installing this unit in a rack. If the rack has a
stabilizer it must be firmly attached before installing or removing this unit.
vConsideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit so that overloading of circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or
overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to the rack, refer to
the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power
requirement for the supply circuit.
vAn 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.

Electrical Safety
Observe the following safety instructions anytime you are connecting or disconnecting
devices attached to the workstation.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on 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.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with a three-wire power cable and plug for the user’s
safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid
electrical shock.
DANGER
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the
electrical outlet before relocating the system.
CAUTION:
This unit has more than one power supply cord. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect two power supply cords before servicing.

Laser Safety Information
CAUTION:
This product may contain a CD-ROM which is a class 1 laser product.
Laser Compliance
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR
Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in
compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the
label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to
laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance,
or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain
equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at
greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an
optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should
perform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.
