This section describes safety precautions.
Make sure to follow the instructions described below to ensure the safe use of the power synchronized unit.
■If you detect an unusual occurrence during operation
• If the power cord and/or power plug is damaged, do not use the power
synchronized unit and contact your sales representative or your maintenance
engineer. Never attempt to repair the power synchronized unit by yourself. Not
doing so may cause electric shock or fire.
• If the power synchronized unit overheats, gives off smoke or an unusual odor,
makes an unusual sound, or shakes abnormally, immediately disconnect the
power plug from the socket. After the problem has subsided, contact your
sales representative or your maintenance engineer. Never attempt to repair
the power synchronized unit by yourself. Not doing so may cause electric
shock or fire.
• If any liquids such as water or foreign objects like metal fragments get into the
power synchronized unit, immediately disconnect the power plug from the
socket. Then, contact your sales representative or your maintenance engineer.
Do not attempt to repair the power synchronized unit by yourself. Doing so
may cause electric shock or fire.
• If the power synchronized unit is dropped or covers are damaged, immediately
disconnect the power plug from the socket. Then, contact your sales
representative or your maintenance engineer. Do not attempt to repair the
power synchronized unit by yourself. Doing so may cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not place the power synchronized unit in an area with bad ventilation or
where anything that may cause a fire, or flammable gases are generated.
Doing so may cause a fire and damage the power synchronized unit.
• Do not place the power synchronized unit in locations subject to oil smoke,
steam, humidity and dust, or in places where the power synchronized unit
may come into contact with water. Doing so may lead to electric shock, fire,
and/or damage the power synchronized unit.
• Do not place any objects containing water such as vases and cups on or near
the power synchronized unit. Doing so may cause water to get into the power
synchronized unit and lead to electric shock, fire, and/or damage the power
synchronized unit.
• Do not place the power synchronized unit on an unstable floor. Doing so may
cause the power synchronized unit to fall, resulting in injury or damage to the
power synchronized unit.
• Do not connect power cords or any other cables to the power synchronized unit
during thunderstorms. Doing so may lead to electric shock and/or fire.
• When the power synchronized unit is installed or moved, disconnect the power
plug from the socket. Remove all the connected cables. Watch your step during
the operation. Not doing so may damage the power cords and cause electric
shock or fire. Failure to do so may also cause the power synchronized unit to
fall and injure others.
• Do not use the power synchronized unit in an area affected by corrosive gas or
in a salty environment. Doing so may cause device failure.
• Do not knock or place heavy objects on the power synchronized unit or
optional products. Doing so may cause injury or damage the power
synchronized unit.
• Do not place the power synchronized unit in areas with strong magnetic fields,
such as in the vicinity of TVs or speakers. Doing so may damage the power
synchronized unit and cause the power synchronized unit to malfunction.
• Do not place power cords and other cables in locations where they may
become trip hazards. Doing so may cause injury or damage the power
synchronized unit .
• Do not place the power synchronized unit on a slanted or unstable surface or
in areas that tend to shake. Doing so may cause it to tip over and injure
others. Also, do not place the power synchronized unit in high traffic areas
such as in a hallway. Passersby can shake the unit, damage it or cause malfunction.
• Place the power synchronized unit in an environment in which the
temperature and humidity satisfy the environmental conditions described in
"1.3
Specifications" (page 23).
- For 24-hour operation, ensure that the schedule for air conditioning is able
to maintain the required temperature. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the device.
- During the winter, control the heating system to limit ambient
temperature rises to less than 15C per hour to prevent condensation.
Failure to do so could lead to electric shock and damage the power
synchronized unit.
■Handling the power synchronized unit
• Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or remodel the power synchronized
unit by yourself. Doing so may cause electric shock or fire.
• Do not use a voltage other than that indicated. Doing so may cause electric
• Note the following points when cleaning the power synchronized unit. Failure
to do so may cause device failure.
- Make sure the power synchronized unit is turned off.
- Do not allow liquids such as cleaner to get into the power synchronized
unit.
- Never use organic solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the power
synchronized unit.
• Especially for an enclosed rack with doors, or when multiple devices are to be
mounted and running, it is important to realize that the temperature inside
the cabinet will be considerably higher than that of the room. Make sure the
rack internal ambient temperatures do not exceed the environmental
conditions for temperature described in "1.3
to do so may damage the power synchronized unit.
• When installing the power synchronized unit with other devices into the same
rack, the airflow of the device installed on and under the power synchronized
unit may interfere with each other and reduce the effect of device cooling.
Make sure to leave plenty of room between the devices if required. Failure to
do so may damage the power synchronized unit and lead to malfunction.
• When installing the power synchronized unit in a rack, be careful not to pinch
your fingers in the rack. Doing so may cause injury.
• Install the blank panels provided with the rack where no other devices are
installed. Failure to do so may cause the power synchronized unit to overheat,
resulting in damage to the device.
• When moving the rack after installing the power synchronized unit, make sure
to contact your sales representative or your maintenance engineer. Do not
move the rack by yourself. Doing so may cause injury and/or damage the
power synchronized unit.

This section explains the features of the power synchronized unit and the AC sensor unit.
• Powering the ETERNUS DX/AF on and off can be synchronized with a server by connecting to the
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit to which the server is connected.
As well as the UPS unit to which the server is connected (referred to as "server UPS unit" in the remainder of
this manual), the power synchronized unit can be connected to a unit that can control the output of an AC
outlet.
• The sizes of the power synchronized unit and the AC sensor unit are 1U. These units can be installed in a
19-inch rack for the server or the ETERNUS DX/AF.
• Two server UPS units can be connected to manage power synchronization in a standard configuration. By
adding an AC sensor unit, up to 16 server UPS units can be connected.
• By serially connecting each AC sensor unit, the distance between a server UPS unit and a power
synchronized unit can be extended by up to 100m.
• By cascading power synchronized units, the power of up to eight ETERNUS DX/AF storage systems can be
controlled.
• A redundant configuration is available by using two power synchronized units.
• Power synchronization starts when the power synchronized unit is connected to the server UPS unit and
the ETERNUS DX/AF by cables. Connection procedures can be performed while the server UPS unit and the
ETERNUS DX/AF are operating.
• The status of the power synchronized unit and the status of the AC power output from the server UPS unit
are displayed on the LED. If an error occurs, tracking the error and error recovery can be performed based
on the LED information.
