Note: For a translation of these notices, see
System Unit Safety Information , order
number SA23-2652.
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.
vii

Electrical Safety
Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting
devices attached to the workstation.
In the system you are about to setup or service:
vThe ac power interface connector is considered the main power disconnect device.
vThis 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.
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.

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.

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
the IBM support websites for updated information and fixes applicable to the system and
related software.

Ergonomic Information
After you have set up your system, we encourage you to visit the Healthy Computing
Web site. Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your workstation
and to avoid discomfort. This means that the equipment and the workplace should be
arranged to suit your individual needs and the kind of work you do.
The Healthy Computing Web site gives ergonomic guidelines to help you understand
the ergonomic considerations that you should know when working at a computer
workstation. The address is: http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/healthycomputing
