Observe physical, electrical, and electronic component safety precautions.
Physical
Ensure that your equipment rack is placed in a dust-free, well-ventilated area close to an uninterruptible
power supply (UPS). Leave enough room behind and around the rack for services and sufficient airflow.
v Keep the area around the appliance clean and free of clutter.
v Place the appliance top cover and any appliance components that were removed away from the
appliance or on a table so that they do not accidentally get damaged.
v While you are working on the appliance, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned
shirt sleeves. They can retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap, or could be pulled into a
fan.
v After you access the inside of the appliance, close the appliance and secure it to the rack unit with the
retention screws after you ensure that all connections are made.
v Close the rack’s front door and all panels and components on the appliances when not servicing to
maintain proper cooling.
Electrical
Basic electrical safety precautions must be followed to protect yourself and the appliance:
v Do not work alone with high-voltage components.
v Be aware of the locations of the power switch on the appliance and the room’s emergency power-off
switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, quickly remove power
from the system.
A danger of explosion exists if the Onboard battery is installed upside down, which reverses its
polarities. This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type that is
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturer’s instructions.
Electronic components
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges when they come
into contact with each other. An ESD neutralizes this difference, which can damage electronic components
and printed circuit boards (PCBs). In general, the following measures are sufficient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect equipment from ESD:
v Use a grounded wrist strap that is designed to prevent ESDs.
v Keep all components in their antistatic containers until ready for installation.
v Touch a grounded metal object before you remove any board from its antistatic container.
v Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body. They are excellent metal conductors that can
create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where
power is present.

Table 5. Appliance location considerations
FactorComments
Restricted access locationInstall this appliance in a physically secure, limited access location only, such as a
service closet or data center.
Clean environmentSituate it in a clean, well-ventilated, dust-free area.
Ambient operating temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient
temperature of the room. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA) for the appliance.
Sufficient airflowMount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow that is needed for
safe operation is not compromised. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to
open the front door completely (36 inches). Leave about 36 inches of clearance
behind the rack for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
Mechanical loadingMount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due
to uneven mechanical loading. Install heavier items into the bottom of the
equipment rack to keep the rack stable. Mount equipment in a rack evenly to
prevent a later hazard.
Circuit overloadingGive consideration to the connection of the equipment to the power supply
circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Note: The maximum current draw is printed on a label on the appliance power
supplies. The system might draw more than 15 Amps at startup (inrush current).
Reliable groundA reliable ground must be maintained always. The rack itself must be grounded.
Give particular attention to the power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit, such as the use of power strips.
Power supplyUse a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the appliance from
power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep your system operating in a power
