Safety Important Notes

Before operating the device

V CAUTION!

● During installation and before operating the device, observe the

instructions on environmental conditions for your device (see section
“Technical Data” on page 7).

● If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may

form both inside and on the outside of the machine.
Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is

absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused
to the device if this requirement is not observed.

● Transport the device only in the original packaging or in packaging

that protects it from knocks and jolts.

Installation and operation

V CAUTION!

● The server automatically sets itself to a voltage in the range of 100 V

to 240 V. Make sure that your local voltage is within this range.

● This device has a specially approved power cable and must only be

connected to a grounded insulated socket.

● Ensure that the power socket on the device or the grounded wall

outlet is freely accessible.

● The ON/OFF button does not disconnect the device from the mains

voltage. To disconnect the line voltage completely, switch OFF the
mains power switch (if available) and remove the power plug from the
grounded insulated socket.

● Always connect the device and the attached peripherals to the same

power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example,
the central processing unit is still running but the peripheral device
(e.g. storage subsystem) has failed during a power outage.

A26361-K970-Z102-2-7619 15

Important Notes Safety

V CAUTION!

● Data cables must be adequately shielded to avoid interference.

● To the LAN wiring the requirements apply in accordance with the

standards EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2. As minimum requirement
the use of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 MBps
Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet is considered.
The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC 11801 are to be
considered.

● Route the cables in such a way that they do not form a potential

hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot
be damaged. When connecting up a device, refer to the relevant
notes in the operating manual of the device.

● Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm

(lightning hazard).

● Make sure that no objects (such as bracelets or paper clips) fall into
