SAFETY: 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: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front stabilizer on
racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the rack to
tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) 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 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 ensure that the final combination of system and rack complies with all applicable safety standards and local
electric code requirements.
•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 computer manufacturer 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.
•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.

The 48-VDC source is to be reliably connected to earth.
8Product Information Guide
NOTE: While grounding techniques may vary, a positive connection to a safety (earth) ground is a requirement.
•Wire the unit with copper wire only, and unless otherwise specified, use 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wire, and protect
it with a 7.2-ampere (A) minimum to a 20-A maximum protective device or a 25-A maximum protective device when used
with 90ºC wire.
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: Before connecting safety ground or power cables to the connector, ensure that the power is removed from the DC
circuit. To ensure that the power is off, locate the circuit breaker on the DC source circuit (usually at the power distribution of
the battery distribution fuse bay). Switch the circuit breaker to the off position and, if available, install an approved safety
locking device on the circuit breaker or switch.
CAUTION: When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring termination, such as closed-loop or spade-type with
upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires and must be double crimped, one on the
conductor and one on the insulation.
CAUTION: When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last to prevent an
energy hazard.
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 securely 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.
SAFETY: Modems, Telecommunications, or Local Area Network Options
•If your system includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of
26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
•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.

SAFETY: When Working Inside Your System
Before you remove the system covers, perform the following steps in the sequence indicated.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components
inside the system.
CAUTION: The memory modules can become extremely hot during operation. Allow the modules sufficient time to cool
before handling.
NOTICE: To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning off the system before removing
a component from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device.
1
Turn off the system and any devices.
2
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis before touching anything inside the system.
3
While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the chassis to dissipate any static electricity that might harm
internal components.
4
Disconnect your system and devices from their power sources. To reduce the potential of personal injury or shock, disconnect
any telecommunication lines from the system.
In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:
•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 disconnecting 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, make sure 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 component such as a microprocessor chip by its edges, not by its pins.
SAFETY: Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) events can harm electronic components inside your computer. Under certain conditions, ESD may
build up on your body or an object, such as a peripheral, and then discharge into another object, such as your computer. To prevent
ESD damage, you should discharge static electricity from your body before you interact with any of your computer’s internal
electronic components, such as a memory module. You can protect against ESD by touching a metal grounded object (such as an
unpainted metal surface on your computer’s I/O panel) before you interact with anything electronic. When connecting a
peripheral (including handheld digital assistants) to your computer, you should always ground both yourself and the peripheral
before connecting it to the computer. In addition, as you work inside the computer, periodically touch an I/O connector to remove
any static charge your body may have accumulated.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge:
•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. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, 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 electrostatic sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and work bench pads.
