caution notice precedes the description of apotentially hazardous procedural
step or situation.
DANGER
These notices indicate situations that can be potentially lethal or extremely
hazardous to you. Adanger notice precedes the description of apotentially
lethal or extremely hazardous procedural step or situation.
Danger notices for the uninterruptible power supply
Ensure that you understand the danger notices for the uninterruptible power supply
(UPS).
xvi IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller: Installation Guide

Use the reference numbers in parentheses, for example (1), at the end of each
notice to find the matching translated notice. For the translation of the danger,
caution, attention notices, and the translation of the safety labels, see the IBM
TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller: Translated Safety Notices.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place ahazardous
voltage on the metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the
system. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is
correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (1)
DANGER
To prevent possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not
connect or disconnect cables or station protectors for communications
lines, display stations, printers, or telephones. (2)
DANGER
Do not attempt to open the covers of the power supply. Power supplies are
not serviceable and are replaced as aunit. (3)
DANGER
To prevent apossible electrical shock when installing the device, ensure
that the power cord for that device is unplugged before installing signal
cables. (4)
DANGER
The UPS contains lethal voltages. All repairs and service should be
performed by an authorized service support representative only. There are
no user serviceable parts inside the UPS. (5)
Danger notices for the SAN Volume Controller
Ensure that you are familiar with the danger notices on the SAN Volume Controller.
Use the reference numbers in parentheses, for example (1), at the end of each
notice to find the matching translated notice. For the translation of the danger,
caution, attention notices, and the translation of the safety labels, see the IBM
TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller: Translated Safety Notices.
DANGER
Do not try to open the covers of the power supply assembly (32).

caution, attention notices, and the translation of the safety labels, see the IBM
TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller: Translated Safety Notices.
CAUTION:
The UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles
might carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
(11)
CAUTION:
Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This
removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the
UPS. (12)
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the UPS in atemperature
and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive
contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not
operate near water or excessive humidity (95% maximum). (13)
CAUTION:
To comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the total
equipment connected to the output of the UPS 5125 must not have an earth
leakage current greater than 2.5 milliamperes and for the UPS 5115 it must
not be greater than 3.5 milliamperes. (14)
CAUTION:
To avoid any hazard from the rack tipping forward when boxes are installed,
observe all safety precautions for the rack into which you are installing the
device.
The UPS 5125 weighs 39 kg (86 lb) with the electronics assembly and the
battery assembly installed:
vDo not attempt to lift the UPS 5125 by yourself. Ask another service
representative for assistance.
vRemove the battery assembly from the UPS 5125 before removing the UPS
from the shipping carton.
vDo not attempt to install the UPS 5125 into the rack unless the electronics
assembly and the battery assembly have been removed.
CAUTION:
The electronics assembly for the UPS 5125 weighs 6.4 kg (14 lb). Take care
when you remove it from the UPS 5125. (16)
CAUTION:
The UPS 5125 battery unit weighs 21 kg (45 lb). Do not attempt to lift the UPS
5125 battery unit by yourself. Ask another service representative for aid. (18)
CAUTION:
Do not dispose of the battery in afire. The battery might explode. Correct
disposal of the battery is required. Refer to your local regulations for disposal
requirements. (20)
Caution notices for the SAN Volume Controller
Ensure that you understand the caution notices for the SAN Volume Controller.
