DANGER: When working on or around the system, observe the following precautions:
Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To
avoid a shock hazard:
• , connect power to this unit only with the IBM provided powerIf IBM supplied a power cord(s)
cord. Do not use the IBM provided power cord for any other product.
• Do not open or service any power supply assembly.
• Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration
of this product during an electrical storm.
• The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all hazardous voltages,
disconnect all power cords.
• Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the outlet
supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating plate.
• Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets.
• When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables.
• Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage.
• Do not attempt to switch on power to the machine until all possible unsafe conditions are corrected.
• Assume that an electrical safety hazard is present. Perform all continuity, grounding, and power
checks specified during the subsystem installation procedures to ensure that the machine meets
safety requirements.
• Do not continue with the inspection if any unsafe conditions are present.
• Disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems before
you open the device covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration
procedures.
• Connect and disconnect cables as described in the following procedures when installing, moving,
or opening covers on this product or attached devices.
To disconnect:
1. Turn off everything (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Remove the power cords from the outlets.
3. Remove the signal cables from the connectors.
4. Remove all cables from the devices.
To connect:
1. Turn off everything (unless instructed otherwise).
2. Attach all cables to the devices.
3. Attach the signal cables to the connectors.
4. Attach the power cords to the outlets.
5. Turn on the devices.
• Sharp edges, corners and joints may be present in and around the system. Use care when handling
equipment to avoid cuts, scrapes and pinching. (D005)
DANGER: Heavy equipment — personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
(D006)
xii IBM Cloud Object Storage System: Slicestor 2212A Appliance Manual 3401-S10/3403-S10

DANGER: Professional movers are to be used for all relocation activities. Serious injury or death
may occur if systems are handled and moved incorrectly. (D008)
DANGER: Serious injury or death can occur if loaded lift tool falls over or if a heavy load falls off
the lift tool. Always completely lower the lift tool load plate and properly secure the load on the lift
tool before moving or using the lift tool to lift or move an object. (D010)
CAUTION:
T
The battery contains lithium. To avoid possible explosion, do not burn or charge the
battery.
Do not: hrow or immerse into water, heat to more than 100ºC (212ºF), repair or disassemble. (C003)
DANGER: Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:
• Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
• Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
• Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
• To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting
from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top
of rack-mounted devices.
• Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in
the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
• Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet.
Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device
installed in a different rack cabinet.
• An 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.
(R001 part 1 of 2)
Use the following general safety information for all rack mounted devices:
Safety and environmental notices xiii

Environmental notices
This information contains all of the environmental notices for IBM Systems products in English and other
languages.
CAUTION:
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
• Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment
in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
• (For sliding drawers): Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack
might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
• (For fixed drawers): This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
(R001 part 2 of 2)
DANGER: Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To
remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords. (L003)

Note: Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European Community Directives) may
govern noise level exposure in the workplace and may apply to you and your server installation. This IBM
system is available with an optional acoustical door feature that can help reduce the noise emitted from this
system. The actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon a variety of factors, including the
number of racks in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration of the room where you designate the
racks to be installed; the noise levels from other equipment; the room ambient temperature, and employees'
location in relation to the equipment. Further, compliance with such government regulations also depends upon
a variety of additional factors, including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear
hearing protection. IBM recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine whether
you are in compliance with the applicable regulations.
