Read this section before beginning any procedure. The
following text provides safety precautions to follow when
installing a Sun Microsystems product.
Safety Precautions
For your protection, observe the following safety precau-
tions when setting up your equipment:
• Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the
equipment.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power
source match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the
equipment’s electrical rating label.
• Never push objects of any kind through openings in the
equipment. Dangerous voltages may be present.
Conductive foreign objects could produce a short circuit
that could cause fire, electric shock, or damage to your
equipment.
Symbols
The following symbols may appear in this book:
Caution - There is risk of personal injury and
equipment damage. Follow the instructions.
Caution – Hot surface. Avoid contact.
Surfaces are hot and may cause personal injury
if touched.
Caution – Hazardous voltages are present. To
reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to
personal health, follow the instructions.
On – Applies AC power to the system.
Depending on the type of power switch your device has,
one of the following symbols may be used:
Off – Removes AC power from the system.
Standby – The On/Standby switch is in the
standby position.
Modifications to Equipment
Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the
equipment. Sun Microsystems is not responsible for
regulatory compliance of a modified Sun product.
Placement of a Sun Product
Caution – Do not block or cover the openings of
your Sun product. Never place a Sun product near
a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these
guidelines can cause overheating and affect the
reliability of your Sun product.
SELV Compliance
Safety status of I/O connections comply to SELV require-
ments.
Power Cord Connection
Caution – Sun products are designed to work with
single-phase power systems having a grounded
neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not plug Sun 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. Household extension cords do not
have overload protection and are not meant for use
with computer sytems. Do not use household
extension cords with your Sun product.
Caution – Your Sun product is shipped with a
grounding type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into
a grounded power outlet.

Caution – The power switch of this product
functions as a standby type device only. The power
cord serves as the primary disconnect device for the
sytem. Be sure to plug the power cord into a
grounded power outlet that is nearby the system and
is readily accessible. Do not connect the power
cord when the power supply has been removed
from the system chassis.

iv

that is installed into a device using a target ID selector switch with a flex cable.
▼ To set the SCSI ID for use with a target ID selector switch and flex cable
1. Remove the jumpers (if installed) from ID1, ID2, and ID4.
2. Connect the flex cable from the target ID switch on the rear panel of the enclosure to the
ID jumpers on the DVD-ROM drive.
3. Set the target ID selector switch on the enclosure to 6.
