Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
z Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
z Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chassis.
Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
z Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
z Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or
makes the equipment unsafe.
z Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power
cord before installing or removing a chassis or working near power
supplies
z Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
z Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check
the circuit.
zLITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
z Installation only by a trained electrician or only by an electrically trained
person who knows all English Installation and Device Specifications
which are to be applied.
z Do not carry the handle of power supplies when moving to other place.
z The machine can only be used in a fixed location such as labs or
computer facilities
Operating Safety
zElectrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not
be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures
without adequate circulation. Be sure that the room in which you
choose to operate your system has adequate air circulation.
zEnsure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows
cooling air to circulate effectively. An open chassis permits air leaks,
which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal
components.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical
circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow
ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components to
avoid these problems.
3
FW-8892
zWear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin
contact. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal part of the chassis.
zPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which
should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
