PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
X
Precautionary Measures
Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the
instructions. To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and equipment damage, read and observe all warnings and precautions in this chapter before installing or
maintaining your system. To avoid personal injury or property damage, before you begin
installing the product, read, observe, and adhere to all of the following instructions and
information. The following symbols may be used throughout this guide and may be
marked on the product and / or the product packaging.
Safety Instructions about your system
In the event of a conflict between the information in this guide and information provided
with the product or on the website for a particular product, the product documentation
takes precedence.
Your system should be integrated and serviced only by technically qualified persons.
You must adhere to the guidelines in this guide and the assembly instructions in related
chapters to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and
approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of
other products / components will void the UL Listing and other regulatory approvals of
the product, and may result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in
which the product is sold.
Table 1: Warning and Cautions
CAUTION
Indicates the presence of a hazard that may cause minor personal injury or property damage if the CAUTION is ignored.
WAR NING
Indicates the presence of a hazard that may result in serious personal injury if the
WARNING is ignored.
Indicates potential hazard if indicated information is ignored.
Indicates shock hazards that result in serious injury or death if safety instructions
are not followed.
Indicates hot components or surfaces.
Indicates do not touch fan blades, may result in injury.
Remove the system from the rack to disconnect power system.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
XI
Intended Application Uses
This product was evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be
installed in offices, schools, computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations. The
suitability of this product for other product categories and environments (such as medical,
industrial, residential, alarm systems, and test equipment), other than an ITE application,
may require further evaluation.
Site Selection
The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment. Choose a site that is:
Clean, dry, and free of airborne particles (other than normal room dust).
Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight and radia-
tors.
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we recommend you plug your
system into a surge suppressor and disconnect telecommunication lines to your
modem during an electrical storm.
Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.
Provided with sufficient space to access the power system, because they serve as the
product's main power disconnect.
Provided with either two independent DC power system or two independent phases
from a single power system.
Equipment Handling Practices
Reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage:
Conform to local occupational health and safety requirements when moving and
lifting equipment.
Use mechanical assistance or other suitable assistance when moving and lifting
equipment.
The enclosure is designed to carry only the weight of the system sled. Do not use
this equipment as a workspace. Do not place additional load onto any equipment
in this system.
Indicates two people are required to safely handle the system.
Table 1: Warning and Cautions (Continued)
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
XII
To reduce the weight for easier handling, remove any easily detachable components.
Never lift or move your system soley by the handle on the component.
Power and Electrical Warnings
System Access Warnings
Rack Mount Warnings
The following installation guidelines are required by UL for maintaining safety compliance
when installing your system into a rack.
The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from tipping when your system or piece of equipment is extended from it. The equipment rack
must be installed according to the rack manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION!
MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM IS REMOVED FROM THE RACK BEFORE SERVICING ANY NON-HOT PLUG COMPONENTS.
T
HE BUS BAR CLIPS MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SYSTEM IN ORDER TO FULLY SEPARATE THE SYS-
TEM FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
CAUTION!
TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT ALL CABLING FROM THE SYSTEM AND REMOVE THE SYSTEM
FROM THE RACK.
CAUTION!
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS APPLY WHENEVER
ACCESSING THE INSIDE OF THE PRODUCT:
Disconnect from the power source by removing the system from the rack.
Disconnect all cabling running into the system.
Retain all screws or other fasteners when servicing. Upon completion servicing, secure
with original screws or fasteners.
CAUTION!
IF THE SERVER HAS BEEN RUNNING, ANY INSTALLED HDD MODULES MAY BE HOT.
CAUTION!
UNLESS YOU ARE ADDING OR REMOVING A HOT-PLUG COMPONENT, ALLOW THE SYSTEM TO COOL BEFORE SER-
VICING.
CAUTION!
TO AVOID INJURY DO NOT CONTACT MOVING FAN BLADES. IF YOUR SYSTEM IS SUPPLIED WITH A GUARD OVER THE
FAN, DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM WITHOUT THE FAN GUARD IN PLACE.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
XIII
Install equipment in the rack from the bottom up, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Extend only one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.
You are responsible for installing a main power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This
main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to
the entire unit, not just to the system(s).
To avoid risk of potential electric shock, a proper safety ground must be implemented for
the rack and each piece of equipment installed in it.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount
of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment
to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only
by their edges without any component and pin touching. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the system, place the board component side up on a
grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board
wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
CAUTION!
ESD CAN DAMAGE DRIVES, BOARDS, AND OTHER PARTS. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PERFORM ALL PROCEDURES
AT AN ESD WORKSTATION. IF ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE, PROVIDE SOME ESD PROTECTION BY WEARING AN ANTI-
STATIC WRIST STRAP ATTACHED TO CHASSIS GROUND -- ANY UNPAINTED METAL SURFACE -- ON YOUR SERVER
WHEN HANDLING PARTS.
