Guidelines for trained service technicians
This section contains information for trained service technicians.
Inspecting for unsafe conditions
Use this information to help you identify potential unsafe conditions in a device that you are working on.
Each device, as it was designed and manufactured, has required safety items to protect users and service
technicians from injury. The information in this section addresses only those items. Use good judgment to
identify potential unsafe conditions that might be caused by unsupported alterations or attachment of
unsupported features or optional devices that are not addressed in this section. If you identify an unsafe
condition, you must determine how serious the hazard is and whether you must correct the problem before
you work on the product.
Consider the following conditions and the safety hazards that they present:
• Electrical hazards, especially primary power. Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock.
• Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor.
• Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware.
To inspect the product for potential unsafe conditions, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the power is off and the power cords are disconnected.
. Make sure that the exterior cover is not damaged, loose, or broken, and observe any sharp edges.
3. Check the power cords:
• Make sure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a meter to measure third-
wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and the frame ground.
• Make sure that the power cords are the correct type.
iv Lenovo Flex System x440 Compute NodeInstallation and Service Guide

• Make sure that the insulation is not frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious unsupported alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any unsupported
alterations.
6. Check inside the system for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water
or other liquid, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Make sure that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered
with.
Guidelines for servicing electrical equipment
Observe these guidelines when you service electrical equipment.
• Check the area for electrical hazards such as moist floors, nongrounded power extension cords, and
missing safety grounds.
• Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles that are covered with a soft
material that does not provide insulation from live electrical current.
• Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition. Do not use worn
or broken tools or testers.
• Do not touch the reflective surface of a dental mirror to a live electrical circuit. The surface is conductive
and can cause personal injury or equipment damage if it touches a live electrical circuit.
• Some rubber floor mats contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharge. Do not use
this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
• Locate the emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet so that you can
turn off the power quickly in the event of an electrical accident.
• Disconnect all power before you perform a mechanical inspection, work near power supplies, or remove
or install main units.
• Before you work on the equipment, disconnect the power cord. If you cannot disconnect the power cord,
have the customer power-off the wall box that supplies power to the equipment and lock the wall box in
the off position.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Check it to make sure that it has been
disconnected.
• If you have to work on equipment that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
– Make sure that another person who is familiar with the power-off controls is near you and is available to
turn off the power if necessary.
– When you work with powered-on electrical equipment, use only one hand. Keep the other hand in your
pocket or behind your back to avoid creating a complete circuit that could cause an electrical shock.
– When you use a tester, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for
that tester.
– Stand on a suitable rubber mat to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and equipment
frames.
• Use extreme care when you measure high voltages.
• To ensure proper grounding of components such as power supplies, pumps, blowers, fans, and motor
generators, do not service these components outside of their normal operating locations.

• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution, turn off the power, and send another person to get medical
aid.
Safety statements
These statements provide the caution and danger information that is used in this documentation.
Important: Each caution and danger statement in this documentation is labeled with a number. This number
is used to cross reference an English-language caution or danger statement with translated versions of the
caution or danger statement in the Safety Information document.
For example, if a caution statement is labeled Statement 1, translations for that caution statement are in the
Safety Information document under Statement 1.
Be sure to read all caution and danger statements in this documentation before you perform the procedures.
Read any additional safety information that comes with your system or optional device before you install the
device.
Statement 1
DANGER
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables is hazardous.
To avoid a shock hazard:
• Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration
of this product during an electrical storm.
• onnect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet.
• onnect to properly wired outlets any equipment that will be attached to this product.
• 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.
• 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.
• onnect and disconnect cables as described in the following table when installing, moving, or
opening covers on this product or attached devices.
To onnect: To Disconnect:
1. Turn everything OFF.
. First, attach all cables to devices.
3. Attach signal cables to connectors.
4. Attach power cords to outlet.
5. Turn device ON.
1. Turn everything OFF.
. First, remove power cords from outlet.

Statement 2
AUTION:
When replacing the lithium battery, use only Part Number 33F8354 or an equivalent type battery
recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace
it only with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and
can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of. Do not:
• Throw or immerse into water
• Heat to more than 100° (212°F)
