For a translation of the safety notices contained in this book, see the System Unit Safety Information,
order number SA23-2652.
Rack Safety Instructions
v Do not install this unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed 40 degrees C.
v Do 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.
v Care 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.
v Consideration 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.
v 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.
Electrical and Mechanical 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.
D05
DANGER
To
prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
D01
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.
C01
CAUTION:
This unit has more than one power supply cord. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect
two power supply cords before servicing.
C21
CAUTION:
This unit weighs more than 55 kg (121.2 pounds). Material handling systems such as levers, slings,
or lifts are required to safely move it. When this is not possible, specially trained persons or
services (such as riggers or movers) must be used.
C06
CAUTION:
Metal edges might be sharp.
