numerical order based on their IDs, which are displayed in parentheses, for
example (D004), at the end of each notice. Use this ID to locate the translation of
these danger and caution notices in the Safety Notices publication that is shipped
with this product.
The following notices and statements are used in IBM documents. They are listed
below in order of increasing severity of potential hazards. Follow the links for
more detailed descriptions and examples of the danger, caution, and attention
notices in the sections that follow.
v Note: These notices provide important tips, guidance, or advice.
v “Attention notices” on page xx: These notices indicate potential damage to
programs, devices, or data.
v “Cautions”: These statements indicate situations that can be potentially
hazardous to you.
v “Danger notices” on page xv: These statements indicate situations that can be
potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to you. Safety labels are also attached
directly to products to warn of these situations.
v In addition to these notices, “Safety labels” on page xviii may be attached to the
product to warn of potential hazards.
Cautions
A Caution statement alerts you to situations that can be potentially hazardous to
you or cause damage to hardware, firmware, software, or data.
General cautions
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION:
Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids
the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2017 xiii
CAUTION:
Make sure the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device
is not restricted.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit matches
that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies and fan trays are
clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange
arrow with an "I."
CAUTION:
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port
when not in use.
CAUTION:
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
CAUTION:
Use the screws specified in the procedure. Using longer screws can
damage the device.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging blade and chassis, do not push the blade into a
slot or pull the blade from a slot using the ejector handles.
CAUTION:
Remove the protective cover on the port side of chassis before
applying power. This cover is attached over the air vents. If not
removed, the chassis can overheat and will eventually shut down.
Electrical cautions
CAUTION:
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides
redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
CAUTION:
For the NEBS-compliant installation of a device with AC or DC
systems, use a ground wire of at least 2 AWG. The ground wire
should have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with
the device) attached to one end, with the other end attached to
building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool,
allowing it to be connected to both ground screws on the enclosure.
Before crimping the ground wire into the provided ground lug, ensure
that the bare copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied
to the bare wire. In addition, anti-rotation devices or lock washers
must be used with all screw connections for the grounding wire.

svc00167
18-32kg(39.7-70.5lbs)
svc00167
All devices with AC power sources are intended for installation in
restricted access areas only. A restricted access area is a location where
access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a
special tool, lock and key, or other means of security.
CAUTION:
Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage
stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to ground
surface.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices.
To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective
packages until you are ready to install them.
CAUTION:
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must
keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis with an
uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Cautions related to equipment weight
Danger notices
CAUTION:
Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not
designed to support the weight of the module, which can fall and be
damaged.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to
lift the chassis using the fan or power supply handles. These handles
were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
A Danger statement indicates conditions or situations that can be potentially lethal
or extremely hazardous to you. Safety labels are also attached directly to products
to warn of these conditions or situations.
General dangers
DANGER
The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel.
DANGER
Be careful not to accidently insert your fingers into the fan tray
while removing it from the chassis. The fan may still be spinning
at a high speed.

Attention notices
An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or
system, or to data. An exclamation point symbol may accompany an attention
notice, but is not required. A sample attention notice follows:
Attention: Do not bend a fibre cable to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.); you can
damage the cable. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they
can be easily overtightened, causing damage to the cable.
