equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be

required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Safety Information

Electrical Cautions

Use only the power cable provided with your Topspin system. Inspect the power cord and determine if it

provides the proper plug and is appropriately certified for use with your electrical system. Discard the

cord if it is inappropriate for your country’s electrical system and obtain the proper cord, as required by

your national electrical codes or ordinances.

CAUTION: Grounding is supplied by the ground-prong on the 3-prong power cable. Do not attach a

separate ground cable. Do not use adapter plugs. Do not remove the ground prong from the cable.

Ensure the ground connection on the power supply is correct and functioning before applying power to

the Topspin system.

CAUTION: Always ground yourself before touching any internal Topspin system components to avoid

damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

CAUTION: The Topspin system has two power cables. The operator must disconnect all power cables

before attempting to remove the system from the rack.

CAUTION: Remove power cables by grasping the cable connector and pulling straight out.If the

chassis comes equipped with a power-plug retainer, move the bail wire used to retain the plug to the side

before attempting to remove the power plug. Replace power-supply cables be grasping the cable

connector, align the connector with the power jack, and insert the connector straight into the jack.If the

chassis comes equipped with a power-plug retainer, move the bail wire back into place to keep the

power plug firmly in place.

CAUTION: The Topspin system contains lithium batteries. Do not attempt to replace or discard these

batteries. The batteries may only be serviced by Topspin service personnel.

CAUTION: Observe and follow service markings. Do not service the Topspin system, except as

explained in the Topspin documentation supplied with your system. Opening the chassis or removing

the enclosure cover exposes you to electrical shock and may damage system components.

If one or more of the following situations occurs, remove power to the Topspin system chassis, and

contact your Topspin support representative:

• The power cable or power plug is damaged.

• The system has been exposed to water.

• The system has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• The system does not operate correctly after following the installation instructions.

CAUTION: You must ensure the operating environment has adequate air circulation. Keep the Topspin

in a cool, well-ventilated room. Do not block cooling vents. Install filler panels into all unused slots.

CAUTION: Use only Topspin-approved gateway expansion modules, controller cards, fans, and power

supply modules.

vii

CAUTION: Never place your hand inside an empty card or module bay. You should never have cause

to place a hand anywhere inside the Topspin chassis. Unused card and module bays should always have

a Topspin cover over the bay to ensure proper safety, ventilation, and cooling.

General Cautions

CAUTION: No user is authorized to remove the Topspin system enclosure cover. The internal chassis

contains no user-serviceable components. Removing the enclosure cover voids your warranty. See the

warranty card for further details regarding the servicing of your chassis.

CAUTION: Opening and/or modifying expansion and system modules may void your warranty. Refer

to your warranty to determine access restrictions.

In general:

• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components.

• Protect your Topspin system from sudden power-surges and interruptions by using a surge

suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptable power supply (UPS).

• Place cables appropriately so that they do not obstruct any egress within the data center and they do

not block any ventilation inlets or outlets.

• Rack mount the Topspin chassis according to the rack manufacturer recommendations.

Laser Cautions

CAUTION: Only qualified service technicians should repair laser devices.

CAUTION: Only open, modify, or service laser devices as specified in the manufacturer

documentation.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified

herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

CAUTION: In order to ensure eye safety, only the fiber-optic transceivers indicated in the following

table may be used.
