To help prevent electric shock, plug the system/components and peripheral
•
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an
extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total
•
ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip
does not exceed 80 percent of the extension cable or power strip ampere ratings
limit.
To help protect your system/components from sudden, transient increases and
•
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
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.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
•
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring
rules.

Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly con-
•
nected to the computer or storage system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven
surfaces.
Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warning and/or caution statements and procedures.
Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack.
Thus, “component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to
various peripherals or supporting hardware.
WARNING: Installing Dell system components in a Dell 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
injure someone.
NOTE: Dell’s servers, storage systems, and appliances are certified as components
for use in Dell’s rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The final installation of
Dell systems and rack kits in any other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by
any safety agencies. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the final combination of
Dell systems and rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency.
System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service tech-
•
nicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the
specifications of a Dell rack.
Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,
•
Dell recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secure to the rack,
•
extend 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 com-
•
ponent 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 system/component when servicing other sys-
•
tems/components in a rack.
Precautions for Products With Modems, Telecommunications, or Local Area Network Options
Observe the following guidelines when working with options:
Do not connect or use a modem or telephone during a lightning storm. There
•
may be a risk of electrical shock from lightning.
Never connect or use a modem or telephone 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.
Do not use a telephone line to report a gas leak while you are in the vicinity of the
•
leak.
Precautions for Products With Laser Devices
Observe the following precautions for laser devices:
Do not open any panels, operate controls, make adjustments, or perform proce-
•
dures on a laser device other than those specified in the product’s
documentation.
Only authorized service technicians should repair laser devices.
•
When Working Inside Your Computer
Before you remove the computer covers, perform the following steps in the sequence
indicated.
CAUTION: Some Dell systems can be serviced only by trained service technicians because of high voltages and energy hazards. Do not attempt to
service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this guide and
elsewhere in Dell documentation. Always follow installation and service
instructions closely.
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 from the computer.

1. Turn off your computer and any devices.
2. 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
touching 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.
3. Disconnect your computer and devices from their power sources. Also, disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
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. Don’t touch the components or con-
•
tacts 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.
CAUTION: 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. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent
static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of
your computer’s electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so
by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.
As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal
surface to remove any static charge your body may have accumulated.
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 computer. 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.
