xIBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide

Safety and Environmental notices
This section contains information about safety notices that are used in this guide
and environmental notices for this product.
Safety notices
Observe the safety notices when using this product. These safety notices contain
danger and caution notices. These notices are sometimes accompanied by symbols
that represent the severity of the safety condition.
Most danger or caution notices contain a reference number (Dxxx or Cxxx). Use
the reference number to check the translation in the IBM Systems Safety Notices,
G229-9054 manual.
The sections that follow define each type of safety notice and give examples.
Danger notice
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely
hazardous to people. A lightning bolt symbol always accompanies a danger notice
to represent a dangerous electrical condition. A sample danger notice follows:
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. (D004)
Caution notice
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to
people because of some existing condition, or to a potentially dangerous situation
that might develop because of some unsafe practice. A caution notice can be
accompanied by one of several symbols:
If the symbol is... It means...
A generally hazardous condition not represented by other
safety symbols.
This product contains a Class II laser. Do not stare into the
beam. (C029) Laser symbols are always accompanied by the
classification of the laser as defined by the U. S.
Department of Health and Human Services (for example,
Class I, Class II, and so forth).
A hazardous condition due to mechanical movement in or
around the product.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2010 xi

If the symbol is... It means...
This part or unit is heavy but has a weight smaller than 18
kg (39.7 lb). Use care when lifting, removing, or installing
this part or unit. (C008)
Sample caution notices follow:
CautionThe battery is a lithium ion battery. To avoid possible explosion, do not
burn. Exchange only with the IBM-approved part. Recycle or discard the
battery as instructed by local regulations. In the United States, IBM®has a
process for the collection of this battery. For information, call
1-800-426-4333. Have the IBM part number for the battery unit available
when you call. (C007)
CautionThe system contains circuit cards, assemblies, or both that contain lead
solder. To avoid the release of lead (Pb) into the environment, do not burn.
Discard the circuit card as instructed by local regulations. (C014)
CautionWhen removing the Modular Refrigeration Unit (MRU), immediately
remove any oil residue from the MRU support shelf, floor, and any other
area to prevent injuries because of slips or falls. Do not use refrigerant
lines or connectors to lift, move, or remove the MRU. Use handholds as
instructed by service procedures. (C016)
CautionDo not connect an IBM control unit directly to a public optical network.
The customer must use an additional connectivity device between an IBM
control unit optical adapter (that is, fibre, ESCON®, FICON®) and an
external public network . Use a device such as a patch panel, a router, or a
switch. You do not need an additional connectivity device for optical fibre
connectivity that does not pass through a public network.
Power cords
For your safety, IBM provides a power cord with a grounded attachment plug to
use with this IBM product. To avoid electrical shock, always use the power cord
and plug with a properly grounded outlet.
IBM power cords used in the United States and Canada are listed by
Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) and certified by the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA).
For units intended to be operated at 115 volts: Use a UL-listed and CSA-certified
cord set consisting of a minimum 18 AWG, Type SVT or SJT, three-conductor cord,
a maximum of 15 feet in length and a parallel blade, grounding-type attachment
plug rated 15 amperes, 125 volts.
For units intended to be operated at 230 volts (U.S. use): Use a UL-listed and
CSA-certified cord set consisting of a minimum 18 AWG, Type SVT or SJT,
xii IBM System Storage TS7600 with ProtecTIER: Installation Roadmap Guide

three-conductor cord, a maximum of 15 feet in length and a tandem blade,
grounding-type attachment plug rated 15 amperes, 250 volts.
For units intended to be operated at 230 volts (outside the U.S.): Use a cord set
with a grounding-type attachment plug. The cord set should have the appropriate
safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.
IBM power cords for a specific country or region are usually available only in that
country or region.
