Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal
safety and to help protect your system from potential damage.
Throughout this safety section, the caution icon ( ) is used to
indicate cautions and precautions that you need to review and
follow.
Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and
damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions.
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product
except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or
removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a
lightning bolt may expose you to an electrical shock. Only a trained
service technician should service components inside these
compartments.
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from
the electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your trained
service provider:
– The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
– The product has been exposed to water.
– The product has been dropped or damaged.
– The product does not operate correctly when you follow
the operating instructions.
• Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources.
Also, do not block cooling vents.

• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components,
and never operate the product in a wet environment. If the
system gets wet, see the appropriate section in your
troubleshooting guide or contact your trained service
provider.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system.
Doing so can cause a fire or an electric shock by shorting
out interior components.
• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or
touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power
source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are
not sure of the type of power source required, consult your
service provider or local power company.
• To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage
selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to
match the power available at your location:
– 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South
America and some Far Eastern countries such as South
Korea and Taiwan
– 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in
western Japan
– 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the
Far East
• Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to
operate with the power available in your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been
provided with a power cable for your system or for any
AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a
power cable that is approved for use in your country. The
power cable must be rated for the product and for the
voltage and current marked on the product's electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable
should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.

• To help prevent an electric shock, plug the system and
peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical
outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs
to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs
or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must
use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly
grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make
sure that the total ampere rating of all products 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.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient
increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge
suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route
cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed
electrician or your power company for site modifications.
Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable
power supplies, if offered with your system, observe the
following guidelines:
– Install the power supply before connecting the power
cable to the power supply.
– Unplug the power cable before removing the power
supply.
– If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect
power from the system by
unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
• Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or
stabilizers are firmly connected to the system. Avoid
sudden stops and uneven surfaces.

General Precautions for Rack-
Mountable Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety.
Also refer to the rack installation documentation accompanying the
system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures.
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus,
"component" refers to any system as well as to various peripherals
or supporting hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the
front and side stabilizers installed could cause the
rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury
under certain circumstances. Therefore, always
install the stabilizers before installing components in
the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never
pull more than one component out of the rack on its
slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more
than one extended component could cause the rack
to tip over and may result in serious injury.
• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers
are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the
full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and
side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for
joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest
item in the rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a
component from the rack.
