Safety and environmental notices xi

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)

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: 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.
(D004)
DANGER: Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To
remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords. (L003)

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.
