the installation planning information provided, with assistance from an IBM
Safety and environmental notices xv

Installation Planning Representative (IPR) or IBM authorized service provider. In
anticipation of the equipment delivery, the final installation site should be prepared
in advance such that professional movers/riggers can transport the equipment to
the final installation site within the computer room. If for some reason, this is not
possible at the time of delivery, the customer will need to make arrangements to
have professional movers/riggers return to finish the transportation at a later date.
Only professional movers/riggers should transport the equipment. The IBM
authorized service provider will only perform minimal frame repositioning within
the computer room, as needed, to perform required service actions. The customer
is also responsible for using professional movers/riggers in the case of equipment
relocation or disposal.
DANGER
Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might
result if mishandled. (D006)
Safety labels
As an added precaution, safety labels are often installed directly on products or
product components to warn of potential hazards. These can be either danger or
caution notices, depending upon the level of the hazard.
The actual product safety labels may differ from these sample safety labels:
DANGER
Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present inside
any component that has this label attached. Do not open any
cover or barrier that contains this label. (L001)
DANGER
