Caution: Safety Instructions (continued)
Rack Mounting of Systems
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.
NOTE: Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in a Dell™
rack cabinet using the customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit in any other
rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your responsibility to have the final
combination of system and rack kit in a rack cabinet evaluated for suitability by a certified safety
agency. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in connection with such combinations.
•System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians. If
you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of a
Dell rack.
CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the
rack, a minimum of two people should accomplish this task.
•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.
•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 fingers.
Dell PowerConnect RPS-600 Setup Guide7
Caution: Safety Instructions (continued)
•After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.
•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.
•Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
•Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in
a rack.
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
CAUTION: A qualified electrician must perform all connections to DC power and
to safety grounds. All electrical wiring must comply with applicable local or
national codes and practices.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively grounded to the rack cabinet
frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until grounding cables
are connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring must be inspected by
a qualified electrical inspector. An energy hazard will exist if the safety ground
cable is omitted or disconnected.
Modems, Telecommunications, or Local Area Network Options
•Do not connect or use a modem during a lightning storm. There may be a risk of
electrical shock from lightning.
•Never connect or use a modem in a wet environment.
•Do not plug a modem or telephone cable into the network interface controller (NIC)
receptacle.
•Disconnect the modem cable before opening a product enclosure, touching or
installing internal components, or touching an uninsulated modem cable or jack.

When Using Your System
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
NOTICE: Only a certified service technician should perform repairs on your system. Damage
due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static
damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of the electronic
components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
(ESD):
•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 system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic
packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
•When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or
packaging.
•Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor
pads and workbench pads and an antistatic grounding strap.
NOTE: Your system may also include circuit cards or other components that contain batteries. These
batteries must also be disposed of in a battery deposit site. For information about such batteries,
refer to the documentation for the specific card or component.

Regulatory Notices
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in
free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the
functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously
degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio
communications service. Radio communications services include but are
not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services,
radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services
(PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as
digital devices, including computer systems, contribute to the
electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic
equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment.
While this computer system has been designed and determined to be
compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient the receiving antenna.

What will Dell do?
During the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited
warranties: For the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other
limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware products returned to us that prove
to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will
replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include
with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging,
prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or
damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay
to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States
(excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the
product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and
inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard
drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary,
or personal information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are
not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or
corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace
any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When
you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a
replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the
original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not
receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current
standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto
Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We
will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in
returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any
other storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your on-site service contract is with Dell, on-site service will be provided to you under the
terms of the on-site service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain
service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers,

How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty
repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts
or systems that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a customer. All
parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and systems are
covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought.
What do I do if I am not satisfied?
We pride ourselves on our great customer service. If you are not satisfied with the service you
receive under this limited warranty, please let us know. We have found that the best way to
resolve issues regarding our limited warranty is to work together. If, after those discussions, you
are still not satisfied, we believe arbitration is the most expeditious way to resolve your
concerns. Therefore, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR
FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT,
AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) AGAINST DELL arising from or relating to this limited
warranty, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, the relationships
which result from this limited warranty (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable
law, relationships with third parties), Dell's advertising, or any related purchase SHALL BE
RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION
ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM (NAF) under its Code
of Procedure then in effect (available via the Internet at www.arb-forum.com/ or via telephone
at 1-800-474-2371). The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute or controversy between
you and Dell. Any award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on each of the parties,
and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Information may be
obtained and claims may be filed with the NAF at P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405.
This provision applies only to individual home consumers and consumers who purchased
through an employee purchase program. It does not apply to small, medium, large, and global
commercial customers or government, education, and healthcare customers.
May I transfer the limited warranty?
Limited warranties on systems may be transferred if the current owner transfers ownership of
the system and records the transfer with us. The limited warranty on Dell-branded memory
may not be transferred. You may record your transfer by going to Dell's website:

Dell Software and Peripherals
Third-Party Software and Peripherals Products
Similar to other resellers of software and peripherals, Dell does not warrant third-party
products. Third-party software and peripheral products are covered by the warranties provided
by the original manufacturer or publisher only. Third party manufacturer warranties vary from
product to product. Consult your product documentation for specific warranty information.

test or guarantee that all of the products we offer work with any or all of the various models of
Dell computers, nor do we test or guarantee all of the products we sell on the hundreds of
different brands of computers available today. If you have questions about compatibility, we
recommend and encourage you to contact the third-party software and peripheral product
manufacturer or publisher directly.
Dell-Branded Peripheral Products
Dell does provide a limited warranty for new Dell-branded peripheral products (products for
which Dell is listed as the manufacturer) such as monitors, batteries, memory, docking stations,
and projectors). To determine which limited warranty applies to the product you purchased,
see the Dell invoice and/or the product documentation that accompanied your product.
Descriptions of Dell's limited warranties are described in preceding sections.
Return Policy
If you are an end-user customer who bought Dell Software and Peripherals products directly
from a Dell company, you may return Dell Software and Peripherals products that are in as-new
condition to Dell up to 30 days from the date of invoice for a refund of the product purchase
price if already paid. This refund will not include any shipping and handling charges shown on
your invoice; you are responsible for those.
36PowerConnect RPS-600 Setup Guide
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-387-5759 to receive a Credit
Return Authorization Number. You must ship the Dell Software and Peripherals products back

products must be unopened, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and
other items included with a product must be returned with it.

or an authorized Dell distributor in Latin America or the Caribbean, will be free from defects
in materials, workmanship, and design affecting normal use, for a period of one year from the
original purchase date. Products for which proper claims are made will, at Dell’s option, be
repaired or replaced at Dell’s expense. Dell owns all parts removed from repaired products. Dell

and from Dell’s repair/replacement center. The end user must ensure that the defective
product is available for collection properly packed in original or equally protective packaging
together with the details listed above and the return number provided to the end user by Dell.
Limitation and Statutory Rights
Dell makes no other warranty, guarantee or like statement other than as explicitly stated above,
and this Guarantee is given in place of all other guarantees whatsoever, to the fullest extent
permitted by law. In the absence of applicable legislation, this Guarantee will be the end user’s
sole and exclusive remedy against Dell or any of its affiliates, and neither Dell nor any of its
affiliates shall be liable for loss of profit or contracts, or any other indirect or consequential loss

než svým vlastním.
Dodržováním následujících bezpečnostních pokynů zajistíte svou vlastní bezpečnost
a přispějete i k ochraně svého systému před možným poškozením.
Obecné pokyny
•Sledujte a dodržujte servisní značení. Údržbu výrobků provádějte výhradně
podle vysvětlení v dokumentaci daného systému. Otevřením nebo odstraněním
krytů označených symbolem trojúhelníku s bleskem se vystavujete nebezpečí
úrazu elektrickým proudem. Údržbu a opravu komponent uvnitř těchto částí by
měl provádět výhradně školený servisní technik.
•Vznikne-li některá z následujících situací, odpojte výrobek ze zásuvky
elektrického proudu a díl vyměňte, nebo se obraťte na školeného servisního
technika:
–Je poškozen napájecí kabel, prodlužovací kabel nebo zástrčka.
–Do výrobku upadl nějaký předmět.
–Výrobek byl vystaven působení vody.
–Výrobek spadl nebo byl poškozen.
–Výrobek nepracuje správně, přestože dodržujete návod k obsluze.
•Systém neumísťujte u radiátorů ani jiných zdrojů tepla. Nezakrývejte ani jinak
neblokujte větrací otvory chlazení.
•Zabraňte kontaktu potravin a tekutin se systémovými komponentami a nikdy se
systémem nepracujte ve vlhkém prostředí. Pokud systém navlhne, přečtěte si
příslušnou část v průvodci odstraňováním problémů, nebo se obraťte na
školeného servisního technika.
•Do otvorů systému nevsouvejte žádné předměty. Takový postup by mohl
způsobit požár nebo úraz elektrickým proudem následkem zkratu vnitřních
součástek.
•Výrobek používejte pouze se schváleným vybavením či zařízením.
•Před sejmutím krytů nebo dotekem s vnitřními součástmi nechte výrobek
nejdříve vychladnout.

pokyny
•Výrobek provozujte výhradně s typem externího zdroje napájení uvedeným na
typovém štítku. Nejste-li si jisti, jaký zdroj napájení je zapotřebí, obraťte se na
servisní středisko či servisního technika, nebo na místní energetickou
společnost.
•Používejte pouze schválený napájecí kabel (schválené napájecí kabely). Pokud
jste pro svůj systém nebo pro jakýkoli doplněk napájený střídavým proudem
aurčený k použití s Vaším systémem nedostali napájecí kabel, opatřete si
napájecí kabel schválený pro použití ve Vaší zemi. Napájecí kabel musí být
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
dimenzován pro daný výrobek a pro napětí a proud označené na typovém štítku
výrobku. Hodnoty napětí a proudu, pro něž je kabel dimenzován, by měly být
vyšší než hodnoty napětí a proudu vyznačené na výrobku.
•Abyste zabránili možnosti úrazu elektrickým proudem, připojujte napájecí kabely
systému a periferií ke správně uzemněným elektrickým zásuvkám. Tyto kabely
jsou pro zajištění správného uzemnění vybaveny zástrčkami se třemi kolíky.
Nepoužívejte adaptační zástrčky a z kabelů neodstraňujte zemnící kolík.
Musíte-li použít prodlužovací kabel, použijte třížilový kabel se správně
uzemněnými zástrčkami.
•Dbejte na to, aby prodlužovací a rozpojovací kabel byly správně dimenzovány.
Přesvědčte se, že celkový proud odebíraný všemi zařízeními připojenými
k prodlužovacímu nebo rozpojovacímu kabelu nepřekročí 80 % mezní hodnoty
daného kabelu.
(pokračování)
•Pro ochranu svého systému před náhlým přechodným nárůstem nebo poklesem
napětí v síti používejte stabilizátor síťového napětí, zařízení na úpravu napětí
nebo UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply [zdroj nepřerušitelného napájení]).
•Systémové a napájecí kabely umístěte s rozmyslem; veďte je tak, aby na ně
nikdo nemohl stoupnout ani o ně klopýtnout. Ujistěte se, že na kabelech není nic
postaveno.
•Neupravujte napájecí kabely ani zástrčky. O místních úpravách se poraďte
s pověřeným elektrikářem nebo s místní energetickou společností. Vždy
dodržujte místní/státní normy či pravidla pro zapojení zařízení.

pokyny
•Při připojování a odpojování proudu od napájecích zdrojů přepínatelných za
provozu (jsou-li dodávány s Vaším systémem) dodržujte následující pokyny:
–Zdroj napájení instalujte před připojením napájecího kabelu ke zdroji.
–Před odstraněním zdroje napájení odpojte napájecí kabel.
–Pokud má systém více zdrojů napájení, odpojte systém od proudu
odpojením
•Výrobky přemísťujte opatrně. Zajistěte, aby všechna kolečka a/nebo
stabilizátory byly k systému pevně připojeny. Nezastavujte prudce a vyhněte se

Připevnění systémů do stojanů
Dodržujte následující opatření pro stabilitu a bezpečnost stojanů. Prostudujte si také
dokumentaci k instalaci stojanu dodávanou se systémem a stojanem a přečtěte si
zvláštní bezpečnostní upozornění a postupy.
Systémy jsou považovány za komponenty ve stojanu. Proto se termín „komponenta“
vztahuje k jakémukoli systému, stejně tak jako k různým periferiím nebo pomocnému
hardwaru.
POZOR: Instalace systémů do stojanu, aniž by byly instalovány přední
aboční stabilizátory, může způsobit převrhnutí stojanu, což může za
určitých okolností vést k tělesnému úrazu. Proto př ed instalací komponent
do stojanu vždy instalujte stabilizátory.
Po instalaci systému/komponent do stojanu nikdy nevysouvejte ze stojanu
současně více než jednu komponentu. Hmotnost více vysunutých
komponent by mohla způsobit převrhnutí stojanu a případně i vážný úraz.
POZNÁMKA: Váš systém je z hlediska bezpečnosti schválen jako samostatně stojící
jednotka i jako komponenta určená k instalaci ve stojanové skříni firmy Dell™ pomocí
zákaznické soupravy stojanu. Instalace Vašeho systému a soupravy stojanu do skříně jiné
značky nebyla schválena žádným úřadem zabývajícím se bezpečností. Proto za vyhodnocení
vhodnosti konečné kombinace systémů a stojanů ve stojanových skříních příslušným úřadem
zabývajícím se bezpečností odpovídá zákazník. Společnost Dell nenese žádnou odpovědnost
a neposkytuje žádné záruky, pokud se jedná o tyto kombinace.

Pozor: Bezpečnostní
pokyny
•Soupravy stojanových systémů jsou určeny pro instalaci do stojanu; instalaci
musí provést vyškolený servisní technik. Při instalaci soupravy do jiného stojanu
je třeba se ujistit, že stojan odpovídá specifikacím stojanu firmy Dell.
POZOR: Stojany nesmí přemísťovat jediná osoba. Vzhledem k výšce a
hmotnosti stojanu by se této úlohy měly ujmout nejméně dvě osoby.
•Před prací na stojanech je třeba zajistit, aby byly stojany zabezpečeny
stabilizátory opřenými o podlahu a aby celá hmotnost stojanu spočívala na
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
podlaze. U samostatně stojícího stojanu instalujte před prací na stojanu přední
aboční stabilizátory, u spojených stojanů instalujte přední stabilizátory.
•Stojan vždy zatěžujte zdola nahoru a nejtěžší komponentu instalujte nejdříve.
•Před vysunutím komponenty ze stojanu se ujistěte, že je stojan postaven
vodorovně a že je stabilní.
•Při uvolňování západky kolejničky a zasunování či vysunování komponent
postupujte s citem, výsuvné kolejničky by Vám mohly poranit prsty.
•Po zasunutí komponenty do stojanu opatrně vysuňte kolejničku do zablokované
polohy a poté zasuňte komponentu zcela do stojanu.
•Větev napájecího obvodu střídavého proudu, která napájí stojan, nepřetěžujte.
Celková zátěž stojanu by neměla překročit 80 % kapacity příslušné větve
napájecího obvodu.
(pokračování)
•Zajistěte dostatečný přívod vzduchu ke komponentám ve stojanu.
•Při práci na komponentách ve stojanu nestoupejte na jiné komponenty.
POZOR: Kvalifikovaný elektrikář musí provést všechna zapojení do
napájení stejnosměrného proudu i do bezpečnostního uzemnění. Veškerá
elektroinstalace musí odpovídat všem na ni se vztahujícím místním nebo
národním normám a praxím.
POZOR: Nikdy se nepokoušejte přerušit (odpojit) vodič uzemnění nebo
provozovat zařízení bez jeho správné instalace. Nejste-li si jisti tím, zda je
systém správně uzemněn, obraťte se na př íslušný úřad inspekce
elektrických zařízení nebo na kvalifikovaného elektrikáře.

pokyny
POZOR: Šasi systému musí být kladně uzemněné do rámu stojanové
skříně. Nepřipojujte systém k napájení, dokud nezapojíte zemnící kabely.
Hotová instalace napájení a bezpečnostního uzemnění musí projít inspekcí
revizního technika s příslušnou kvalifikací. Pokud je bezpečnostní zemnící
kabel opomenut nebo odpojen, hrozí nebezpečí úrazu nebo škody
elektrickým proudem.

Ochrana před elektrostatickým výbojem
UPOZORNĚNÍ: Opravy systému by měl provádět pouze oprávněný servisní technik. Na
škody vzniklé servisem bez oprávnění společnosti Dell se nevztahuje záruka.
Statická elektřina může ohrozit jemné součástky uvnitř systému. Abyste předešli
možnosti poškození součástek statickou elektřinou, dříve než se dotknete jakékoli
elektronické komponenty (například mikroprocesoru), vybijte statický náboj svého
těla. Toho dosáhnete například opakovaným dotykem s nenalakovaným kovovým
povrchem šasi.
Instalač ní př íruč ka systému Dell PowerConnect RPS-60097
Pro ochranu před poškozením součástek ESD (ElectroStatic Discharge
[elektrostatickým výbojem]) můžete použít také následující kroky:
•Při vybalování součástky citlivé na statickou elektřinu z krabice, v níž byla
dodána, součástku nevyjímejte z obalu s antistatickou úpravou, dokud nejste
zcela připraveni k její instalaci do systému. Než otevřete antistatický obal,
vybijte elektrostatický náboj svého těla.
•Při přepravě citlivou součástku nejdříve umístěte do antistatického obalu
nebo kontejneru.
•Se všemi citlivými součástkami manipulujte v oblasti zabezpečené proti
elektrostatickému výboji. Je-li to možné, používejte antistatické podložky na
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
podlahu a pracovní stůl a antistatický pásek pro uzemnění.
POZNÁMKA: Systém může obsahovat také karty obvodů nebo jiné komponenty, jež obsahují
baterie. Tyto baterie je rovněž třeba odevzdat k likvidaci ve sběrně starých baterií. Podrobnější
informace o těchto bateriích jsou uvedeny v dokumentaci příslušných karet nebo komponent.
