Safety Symbols
The following symbols are placed on some components of the system to alert the user to potential hazards,
WARNING: Electric Shock Hazard –To reduce risk of injury from electric shock
hazards, do not open this component.
WARNING: Contains No User or Field Serviceable Parts –To reduce the risk of
injury from electric shock hazards, do not open this component.
WARNING: Hot Surface or Component - To reduce risk of injury from a hot
component; allow the surface to cool before touching.
WARNING: Insert Network Interface Only - Any receptacle (e.g. RJ45) marked with
this symbol indicates a network interface connection. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire or damage to equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications
connectors into this receptacle
WARNING: This symbol, on power supplies or systems, indicates that the equipment
is supplied by multiple sources of power. To reduce the risk of injury from electric
shock, remove all power cords to completely power down the system.
Weight in kg
Weight in lb
WARNING: This symbol indicates that the component exceeds the
recommended weight for one individual to handle safely. To reduce the risk
of personal injury or damage to the equipment, observe local occupational
health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

Safety Precautions
Technician Notes
Only authorized technicians should attempt to repair this equipment.
Before installing this system, carefully read all the manuals included with the system.
All repair procedures allow only module replacement. Because of the complexity of the individual boards
and sub-assembles, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or make modifications to
any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, do not exceed the
level of repairs specified in these procedures.
The system is designed to be electrically grounded. To ensure proper operation, plug the AC power cord
into a properly grounded AC outlet only.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage static sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper packaging and
grounding techniques are required to prevent damage.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at a static free work area.
Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface as well as properly grounded tools and equipment
Keep the area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic tools and foam packing.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always place drives with printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-side down.
Grasp cards and boards by the edges. Hold drives by the frame. Avoid touching the solder joints or pins.
If you need to lay the device down while it is out of the antistatic bag, lay it on the antistatic bag. Before
picking it up again, touch the antistatic bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time.
Rack Warnings
If you plan to rack mount the AS175, please follow the rack manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Install the enclosure only in a rack that has been properly secured in an area with suitable environmental
conditions.
Have someone assist you during physical installation.
To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm of clearance at the front and back of the
system.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, always ensure that the rack is adequately
stabilized prior to extending a component outside the rack. A rack may become unstable if more than one
component is extended. Extend only one at a time.
Do not stand or step on any components in the rack.

5
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.
Do not overload the AC power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Observe extension
cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all equipment plugged into the
extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension
cable or power strip.
System Warnings
Avoid dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures; place the system on a stable surface.
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the hot-plug disk modules and other system
modules to cool before touching them.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding
plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Ensure the power cord is inserted into a grounded electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply module to shut off power to the equipment
Protect the storage system from power fluctuations and temporary power interruptions with a regulating
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage caused by power
surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system operational during a power failure.
The storage system must always be operated with all hot plug modules installed or slot covers in place to
ensure proper cooling.
Route power cords so that they will not be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay
particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cords exit from the product.
