Notes:
1. Declared level LWAd is the upper-limit A-weighted sound power level; Declared level LpAm is the mean
A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the 1-meter bystander positions.
2. All measurements made in conformance with ISO 7779 and declared in conformance with ISO 9296.
3. B, dB, abbreviations for bels and decibels, respectively. 1 B = 10 dB.
4.
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.

Chapter 1. Appliance safety precautions
Observe physical, electrical, and electronic component safety precautions.
Physical
Ensure that your equipment rack is placed in a dust-free, well-ventilated area close to an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). Leave enough room behind and around the rack for services and sufficient airflow.
vKeep the area around the appliance clean and free of clutter.
vPlace the appliance top cover and any appliance components that were removed away from the
appliance or on a table so that they do not accidentally get damaged.
vWhile you are working on the appliance, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned
shirt sleeves. They can retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap, or could be pulled into a
fan.
vAfter you access the inside of the appliance, close the appliance and secure it to the rack unit with the
retention screws after you ensure that all connections are made.
vClose the rack’s front door and all panels and components on the appliances when not servicing to
maintain proper cooling.
Electrical
Basic electrical safety precautions must be followed to protect yourself and the appliance:
vDo not work alone with high-voltage components.
vBe aware of the locations of the power switch on the appliance and the room’s emergency power-off
switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, quickly remove power
from the system.

DANGER
A danger of explosion exists if the Onboard battery is installed upside down, which reverses its
polarities. This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type that is
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturer’s instructions.
Electronic components
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges when they come
into contact with each other. An ESD neutralizes this difference, which can damage electronic components
and printed circuit boards (PCBs). In general, the following measures are sufficient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect equipment from ESD:
vUse a grounded wrist strap that is designed to prevent ESDs.
vKeep all components in their antistatic containers until ready for installation.
vTouch a grounded metal object before you remove any board from its antistatic container.
vRemove any jewelry or metal objects from your body. They are excellent metal conductors that can
create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where
power is present.
