WARNING: A WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious bodily injury.
CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your
server, storage system, or appliance from potential damage.
Throughout this guide, blocks of text may be accompanied by an icon and printed in bold type.
These blocks are notes, cautions, and warnings, and they are used as follows:
NOTE: A NOTE indicates important information that helps you make better use of your
system.
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power
source
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted
access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and
key, or other means of security.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity
Only trained and qualied personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or
service this equipment
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or
operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor.
Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you
are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your server, storage system, or appliance, 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 volt-
age and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked
on the product.

Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do
not block cooling vents.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing
so can cause re or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
Safety Instructions
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical
outlet and replace the part or contact your authorized service provider:
The system 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.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially lled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a
component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your ngers.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.
The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Position system cables and power cables carefully; route system cables and
the power cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cable.
Cleaning: Unplug your system from wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp (not wet) cloth for cleaning.

Safety Instructions
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis, such as
the metal around the card-slot openings at the back of the computer, before touch-
ing anything inside your computer.
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the computer
chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm internal components.
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to
install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic pack-
aging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
To help protect your system/components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninter-
ruptible power supply (UPS).
To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off
the computer before disconnecting a device from the computer.
When transporting a sensitive component, rst place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not
on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are dis-
connecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the
cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any
connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are
correctly oriented and aligned.
Handle components and cards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts
on a card. Hold a card by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Hold a compo-
nent such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.
There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.
Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Do not dispose of the battery along with household waste.
Contact your local waste disposal agency for the address of the nearest bat-
tery deposit site.
