xvi Storwize V5000 Gen2: Quick Installation Guide

CAUTION: CAUTION regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:
• Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only
• LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It
is not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such
designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices.
When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance,
riggers or movers). Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's
manual before using.
• Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.
Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property
damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and
support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area.
Latest revision manual available on vendor's website.
• Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the
LIFT TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
• Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is fully
engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
• Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
• Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at
center versus edge of extended platform.
• Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on
edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).
• Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt option to
main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load objects are
designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not to push
or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for nal minor adjustment when needed.
• Do not stand under overhanging load.
• Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
• Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)
Safety and environmental notices xvii

•Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL.
•Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
•Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
•Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
•Do not climb on mast.
•Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
•Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of personnel and
obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.
•No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or fork lift.

Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping around winch drum, damage cable, and may
cause serious injury. (C048, part 2 of 2)
CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack
stability during a relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated
rack cabinet within a room or building.
• Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack
cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the conguration of the rack cabinet as you
received it. If this conguration is not known, you must observe the following precautions.
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below
the 32U level.
• If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet
from the suite.
• If the rack cabinet you are relocating was supplied with removable outriggers they must be
reinstalled before the cabinet is relocated.
• Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.
• Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to
the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
• Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).
• Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
• Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
• Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.
• Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
• When the rack cabinet is in the new location, complete the following steps:

– Lower the four leveling pads.
– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the
lowest position to the highest position.
• If a long-distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the conguration of the rack
cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent.
Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the
pallet. (R002)

Safety and environmental notices xix

DANGER: Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
(D006)
DANGER: 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)
DANGER: Racks with a total weight of > 227 kg (500 lb.), Use Only Professional Movers! (R003)
DANGER: Do not transport the rack via fork truck unless it is properly packaged, secured on top of
the supplied pallet. (R004)
DANGER:
Main Protective Earth (Ground):
This symbol is marked on the frame of the rack.
The PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should be terminated at that point. A recognized or
certied closed loop connector (ring terminal) should be used and secured to the frame with a lock
washer using a bolt or stud. The connector should be properly sized to be suitable for the bolt or
stud, the locking washer, the rating for the conducting wire used, and the considered rating of the
breaker. The intent is to ensure the frame is electrically bonded to the PROTECTIVE EARTHING
CONDUCTORS. The hole that the bolt or stud goes into where the terminal conductor and the lock
washer contact should be free of any non-conductive material to allow for metal to metal contact.
All PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should terminate at this main protective earthing
terminal or at points marked with . (R010)
