Keep the product away from water or any liquid.
While shipping the product, pack it inside of the qualified package and ship with
pallet.
The equipment should be used in data center or lab.
2.1.2 Power Cord Connection
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical
regulations governing the installation of information technology equipment by licensed
electricians. For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the power rating label or
the user documentation supplied with that option.
CAUTION: this product is designed to work with power systems having a grounded neutral
(grounded return for DC-powered products). To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug products
into any other type of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are
not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.
CAUTION: Not all power cords have the same current ratings. Do not use the power cord provided
with your equipment for any other products or use. Do not use household extension cords with your
product.
CAUTION: For products with multiple power cords, all power cords must be disconnected to
completely remove power from the system.
Below mark is used when multiple power supplies are installed in a system.
2.1.3 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Caution and Warnings
WARNING:
1) In order to maximize overall product quality and eliminate the possibility of damage from electro-
static discharge, please observe ESD handling procedures wherever this symbol occurs during the
system integration.
2) All Employees must attend an ESD training class prior to performing any system or board handling.

6
Rasilient Confidential - Use or disclosure of data contained on this page is subject to the restriction on the title page
of this document.
If you have not been properly trained contact your immediate supervisor to schedule training.
3) Required use of heel straps on both feet and/or wrists strap where applicable to ensure that you
are properly grounded by testing the continuity of the straps at a certified ESD station.
4) If you remove your heel straps or wrist straps for any reason, you must retest to insure proper
grounding.
5) To ensure the policies regarding ESD (Electrostatic discharge) controls for all personnel who work
in the manufacturing departments are enforced.
2.1.4 Protection against moving fan blade
A warning symbol as below or a similar symbol combined with the triangle shaped
warning sign from ISO 3864-2 is required to be placed closely to the moving part and
can be easily found by user during servicing.
CAUTION: Keep fingers and other body parts away from the moving blade. Failure to take this
precaution may result in personal injury.
2.1.5 Rack System Instructions
The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation
instructions:
Elevated Operating Ambient– If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow– Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading– Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading– Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing– Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
CAUTION: Rack mounted equipment must not be used as a shelf or workspace.

Do not add weight to rack mounted equipment.
The following warnings apply to Racks and Rack Mounted systems:
CAUTION: For safety, equipment should always be loaded from the bottom up. That is, install the
equipment that will be mounted in the lowest space of the rack first, then the next higher space, etc.
CAUTION: To prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation, the anti-tilt bar on the
rack must be deployed.
2.1.6 Others warnings and cautions
WARNING: This storage is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
1) Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling.
2) Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product
is not fastened to the rails. When the storage weighs more than 22.5 kg (50 lb), at least two people
must lift the storage into the rack together. A third person may be required to help align the storage
if the server is installed higher than chest level.
WARNING: The drives and the internal system components maybe too hot to hurt, users should not
touch them before they cool down.
