Laser Safety and Compliance

Before using the library, review the following laser safety information.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2006 v

Class I Laser Product

The library may contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance standards set by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration for a Class I laser product. Class I laser products do not emit hazardous
laser radiation. The library has the necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that
laser radiation is inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External safety agencies have
reviewed the library and have obtained approvals to the latest standards as they apply.

Rack Safety

The following general safety information should be used for all rack mounted devices.

DANGER

Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.

v

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 a shelf or work space. Do not place any object

on top of rack mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power

cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any device in the rack cabinet.

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.

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 educed 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 pwer 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 may
become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

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

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

vi TS3100 and TS3200 (3573) Installation Quick Reference

CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during
relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within
a room or building:

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack

cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack cabinet as you

received it. If this configuration is not known, you must do the following:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.

– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack cabinet.

– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the rack cabinet below

the 32U level.

If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets, detach the rack cabinet

v

from the suite.

v Inspect the route that you plan to take to eliminate potential hazards.

v Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded rack cabinet. Refer to

the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.

v Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 230 mm (30 x 80 in.).

v Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.

v Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.

v Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet during movement.

v Do not use a ramp inclined at more than ten degrees.

v Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:

– Lower the four leveling pads.

– Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

– If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the

lowest position to the highest position.

If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the configuration of the rack

v

cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or

equivalent. Also lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack

cabinet to the pallet.
