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-assemblies, 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.
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

incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules
place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, Aand B, depending upon their
intended installation. ClassAdevices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed
in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be
expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The
FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the
device, as well as additional operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class A
devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class B devices have an FCC logo or
FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following
corresponding statement.
Class A Equipment
This equipment has been assembled with components that comply with the limits for a ClassA

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at personal expense.
Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo—United States Only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
