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

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

It

is

the

Data

Integrity

and

Verification

IBM

computer

systems

contain

mechanisms

designed

to

reduce

the

possibility

of

undetected

data

corruption

or

loss.

This

risk,

however,

cannot

be

eliminated.

Users

who

experience

unplanned

outages,

system

failures,

power

fluctuations

or

outages,

or

component

failures

must

verify

the

accuracy

of

operations

performed

and

data

saved

or

transmitted

by

the

system

at

or

near

the

time

of

the

outage

or

failure.

In

addition,

users

must

establish

procedures

to

ensure

that

there

is

independent

data

verification

before

relying

on

such

data

in

sensitive

or

critical

operations.

Users

should

periodically

check
