DANGER: Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:

v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices

in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top of

rack-mounted devices. In addition, do not lean on rack mounted devices and do not use them to stabilize your body position (for example, when working from a ladder).

viii Disk drives or solid-state drives

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord.

– For AC powered racks, be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to

disconnect power during servicing.

– For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), turn off the circuit breaker that controls the

power to the system unit(s), or disconnect the customer’s DC power source, when directed to disconnect power during servicing.

v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do

not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the

system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

(R001 part 2 of 2):

CAUTION:

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the

manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked

or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.

v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that

overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

v (For sliding drawers.) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are

not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers.) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless specified

by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

CAUTION: Regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:

v Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only. v LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It is

not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices. When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers).

v Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.

Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision manual available on vendor's web site.

v Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the LIFT

TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.

v Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning. v Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at

center versus edge of extended platform.

v Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on edge of

sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).

v Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt option to main

shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not to push or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for final minor adjustment when needed.

v Do not stand under overhanging load. v Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps). v Do not stack loads. v Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. v Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL. v Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform. v Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders. v Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step. v Do not climb on mast. v Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine. v Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of personnel and

obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.

v No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or fork lift. v Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers, lights, and

other overhead objects.

v Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load. v Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion. v Turn Winch with hand power only. If winch handle cannot be cranked easily with one hand, it is

probably over-loaded. Do not continue to turn winch past top or bottom of platform travel. Excessive unwinding will detach handle and damage cable. Always hold handle when lowering, unwinding. Always assure self that winch is holding load before releasing winch handle.

v A winch accident could cause serious injury. Not for moving humans. Make certain clicking sound

is heard as the equipment is being raised. Be sure winch is locked in position before releasing handle. Read instruction page before operating this winch. Never allow winch to unwind freely. Freewheeling will cause uneven cable wrapping around winch drum, damage cable, and may cause serious injury. (C048)
