Rack Safety Instructions
vDo not install this unit in arack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed 35 degrees C.
vDo not install this unit in arack where the airflow 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 ahazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical
loading when installing this unit in arack. If the rack has astabilizer 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 and Mechanical Safety
The following safety instructions appear throughout this document:
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.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent apossible
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.
D06
CAUTION:
This unit weighs between 32 kg (70.5 pounds) and 55 kg (121.2 pounds). Three persons are
required to safely move it. Using less than three persons to move it can result in injury.
C05
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with afour-wire (three-phase and ground) power cable for the user’s
safety. Use this power cable with aproperly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.
C27
DANGER
This system has redundant power supply capabilities, meaning that it has the ability to have two
power supplies running simultaneously in the same system unit. When instructed to disconnect
the power source, ensure that all power cables have been unplugged.
D07
DANGER
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
D01
CAUTION:
This unit has more than one power supply cord. Follow procedures for removal of power from the
system when directed.
C28
CAUTION:
Energy hazard, remove power before servicing.
C22
CAUTION:
Energy hazard, remove all jewelry before servicing.
