Safety and environmental notices
Safety notices contain information that is related to using the IBM Network
Station thin client in a safe manner. The notices can be in the form of a
danger, warning, or caution notice.
Danger notices
The following danger notices call attention to situations that are potentially
lethal or extremely hazardous. These notices pertain throughout this book.
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not
connect or disconnect cables or station protectors for communications
lines, display stations, printers, or telephones. (RSFTD003)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock from touching two surfaces with
different electrical grounds, use one hand, when possible, to connect or
disconnect signal cables. (RSFTD004)
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous
voltage on metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the
system. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is
correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock when installing the system, ensure
that the power cords for all devices are unplugged before installing
signal cables. (RSFTD202)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock when adding the device to a
system, disconnect all power cords, if possible, from the existing system
before connecting the signal cable to that device. (RSFTD205)

DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock, disconnect the power cord from
the electrical outlet before opening the IBM Network Station logic unit.
(RSFTD215)
DANGER
To reduce the risk of electrical shock use only AC power sources
approved by IBM. (RSFTD216)
Caution notices
A caution notice applies to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people
because of some existing condition.
CAUTION:
The battery is a lithium battery. To avoid possible explosion, do not burn or
charge the battery. Exchange only with the IBM-approved part. Discard the
battery as instructed by local regulations. (RSFTC227)
Handling static-sensitive devices
When you handle components, take these precautions to avoid static
electricity damage:
vDo not open static-protective packages until you are ready to install their
contents.
vLimit your movements to avoid static electricity build up around you.
vHandle components carefully, and never touch exposed circuitry.
vPrevent others from touching components.
vPlace components on static-protective packages while performing hardware
installation and removal procedures.
vDo not place components on metal surfaces.
