Safety
The following pages describe common practices concerning electrical safety, ergonomics,
rack installation, fiber optics, and electrostatic discharge.
■Safety Precautions
WARNING:
Potential injury: On-the-job safety is important; therefore, observe the
following safety precautions while you are engaging in any maintenance
activity. Failing to follow these precautions could result in serious injury.
Remove all conductive jewelry, such as watches and rings, before you
service powered-on equipment.
•Avoid electrical shock. Be careful when you work near power connectors and
supplies.
•Power-off the equipment that is being serviced before you remove a field replaceable
unit (FRU) or other component. Remember that dangerous voltages could still be
present in some areas even though power is off.
•Ground all test equipment and power tools.
•Lift objects properly; read the information in “Lifting Techniques” on page -xviii.
•Do not remove, cut, or relocate any floor tiles indiscriminately. Before you
manipulate floor tiles, be sure that you understand the customer’s environment and
receive the customer’s approval. Remember, each situation is different.
•Enforce good housekeeping practices in the equipment area to help prevent fire and
accidents.
Note: Important things to investigate and to be aware of include the use of Halon®
gas, under-the-floor smoke detectors, and cables to other equipment installed
nearby.
96053Revision Lxvii
■Lifting Techniques
Lifting, regardless of how much or how little, can create serious back stress. If you follow
these guidelines, you can reduce the risk of back injury:
•Do not twist your body to pick up something or to put it down. Twisting puts
extreme pressure on your back, especially when you lift or carry objects. Instead of
twisting, make the task two separate moves; first lift, and then use your feet to turn
your body.
•Plan the lift: first examine the object and then determine how it will be lifted and
where it will be placed.
•Choose the appropriate lifting technique. Examine the weight, size, location,
frequency, and direction of the lift. Plan to avoid awkward postures, and determine if
material-handling aids are needed.
•Place your feet shoulder-width apart, and place one foot a little behind the other.
Keep your back straight because even light loads can significantly increase pressure
on your spine when you lean forward.
•Whenever you can, grip the load with your whole hand, and use two hands.
•Carry objects at elbow height and close to your body. The farther away you hold an
object, the more force it puts on your lower back.
•Lift with your legs instead of your back. Leg muscles are some of the strongest in the
body. When you squat and lift with your legs, you can lift more weight safely.
•Alternate lifting tasks with tasks that are less stressful to the same muscles. This
technique ensures that your muscles have some recovery time.
Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Safety
Follow these guidelines to minimize the possibility of injury to your shoulders, elbows,
wrists, and hands.
•Work within your safety zone—the area between shoulder level and knuckle level of
your lowered hands. You face less chance of injury when you work or lift in this area.
•Keep your elbows bent to keep loads close to your body and to decrease the amount
of force necessary to do the job. If you use this posture, you will put less weight and
pressure on your shoulder.
•Be sure to keep your wrists straight. Avoid bending, extending, or twisting your
wrists for long periods of time.
•Do not use a pinch grip to lift large or heavy loads because the way you lift also can
affect the tendons in your hand. When you grasp an object between your thumb and
fingers, you put a lot of tension on hand and wrist tendons. Use both hands—use
one for a while, and then use the other—to give them rest.
xviiiRevision L96053
■Rack Safety and Precautions
WARNING:
Possible personal injury:
•Lifting hazard: The library weighs 44.45 kg (98 lb) plus the weight of
the drives. Use at least two people and a mechanical device to lift and
position the library. Make sure you read the information in
“Lifting Techniques” on page xviii before beginning.
•Also consider the library’s total weight when you are placing other
equipment into the rack. To prevent an unbalanced situation, install
the heaviest equipment on the bottom and the lightest equipment on
the top. Failure to do so might cause the rack to become unstable
and tip over.
Observe the following safety precautions when you are installing the library into a rack:
•If the rack has front or rear doors, do not allow the doors to interfere with the
library’s ventilation. The rack’s internal ambient temperature should not exceed the
recommended operating temperature range of the library. The maximum rack air
ambient temperature is 40°C (104°F).
•Ensure that rack doors provide adequate clearance to the library.
•Ensure that the combination of the library with other equipment in the rack does not
create an overcurrent condition, whether the equipment is connected directly to the
branch circuit or to a power distribution strip.
•Ensure that all equipment in the rack has reliable earth ground, whether the
equipment is connected directly to the branch circuit or to a power distribution strip.
Note: The library relies on the ground pin of the power cord for its earth ground.
■Fiber-optic Safety
WARNING:
Eye hazard. Never look directly into a fiber-optic cable, a fiber-optic
connector, or a laser transceiver module. Hazardous conditions might
exist from laser power levels that are capable of causing injury to the
eye.
Be especially careful when using optical instruments with this
equipment. Such instruments might increase the likelihood of eye injury.
The laser transceivers in fiber-optic equipment can pose dangers to personal safety.
Ensure that anyone who works with this Sun StorageTek equipment understands these
dangers and follows safety procedures. Ensure that the optical ports of every laser
transceiver module are terminated with an optical connector, a dust plug, or a cover.
96053Revision Lxix
Each fiber-optic interface in this Sun StorageTek Fibre Channel equipment contains a

Fiber-optic Cable Installation
Follow these guidelines when you install fiber-optic cables:
1.Cable routing:
•Raised floor: You may install fiber-optic cables under a raised floor. Route them
away from any obstruction, such as existing cables or other equipment.
•Cable tray or raceway: Place the cables in position; do not pull them through
the cable tray. Route the cables away from sharp corners, ceiling hangers, pipes,
and construction activity.
•Vertical rise len g t h : Leave the cables on the shipping spool, and lower them
from above; do not pull the cables up from below. Use proper cable ties to
secure the cable.
•General: Do not install fiber-optic cables on top of smoke detectors.
xxRevision L96053
2. Cable management:
•Leave at least 4.6 m (15 ft) of cable at each end for future growth.
•Use strain reliefs to prevent the weight of the cable from damaging the
connector.
•Review all information in this manual and in any related manuals about safely
handling fiber-optic cables.
3. Connector protection:
•Insert connectors carefully to prevent damage to the connector or fiber.
•Leave the connector’s protective cover in place until you are ready to make
connections.
•Replace the connector’s protective cover when the connector is disconnected.
•Clean the connector before making a connection. Make sure that there are no
obstructions and that keyways are aligned.
Fiber-optic Cable Handling
Observe these precautions when you handle fiber-optic cables:
•Do not coil the cable to less than 96 mm (3.75 in.) in diameter.
•Do not bend the cable to less than 12 mm (0.5 in.) in radius. It is most important that
a cable’s bend radius be no less than 20 times the diameter of the cable.
•Do not pull on the cables; carefully place them into position.
•Do not grasp the cables with pliers, grippers, or side cutters; do not attach pulling
devices to the cables or connectors.
•Keep cables away from sharp edges or sharp protrusions that could cut or wear
through the cable; make sure that cutouts in the equipment have protective edging.
•Protect the cable from extreme temperature conditions.
•Install the connector’s protective cover whenever the connector is not connected.
96053Revision Lxxi
■Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage Prevention
Anyone who handles ESD-sensitive components must be aware of the damage that ESD
can cause to electronic components and must take the proper precautions to prevent it.
Also, anyone who performs maintenance on Sun StorageTek equipment must complete
an ESD-basics course.
CAUTION:
Potential damage to equipment: Handle ESD-sensitive components only
under ESD-protected conditions. To meet this requirement, always use
the Field Service Grounding Kit (PN 4711) and always follow these ESD
precautions and procedures when you are servicing Sun StorageTek
equipment or handling ESD-sensitive components.
ESD Precautions
Always take the following general precautions when you work with ESD-sensitive
components:
•Wear ESD protection whenever you install, remove, maintain, or repair Sun
StorageTek equipment.
•Keep ESD-sensitive printed-circuit components in their ESD-protective packages
until you have taken all ESD-preventive steps and you are ready to install the

Seguridad
Las siguientes páginas describen prácticas habituales sobre seguridad eléctrica,
ergonomía, instalación en bastidor, fibras ópticas y descargas electrostáticas.
■Precauciones de seguridad
ADVERTENCIA:
Posibles lesiones: la seguridad durante el trabajo es importante; por
ello, atienda a las siguientes precauciones de seguridad mientras esté
realizando alguna actividad de mantenimiento. El incumplimiento de
dichas precauciones puede conllevar graves lesiones.
Antes de realizar cualquier tarea en equipos eléctricos conectados,
quítese las joyas y accesorios conductores de electricidad, como relojes
y anillos.
•Evite las descargas eléctricas. Tenga cuidado al trabajar en la proximidades de
conectores y alimentaciones eléctricas.
•Antes de extraer unidad sustituible in situ u otro componente, apague el equipo y
desconéctelo de la red eléctrica. Recuerde que, incluso si están apagados, en algunas
áreas pueden quedar tensiones peligrosas.
•Ponga a tierra todos los equipos de prueba y herramientas eléctricas.
•Para levantar objetos, consulte la información de “Técnicas de levantamiento de
objetos” (véase a continuación).
•No quite, corte ni cambie de lugar indiscriminadamente las baldosas. Antes de
manipular baldosas, asegúrese de conocer el entorno del cliente y de recibir su
autorización. Recuerde que cada situación es diferente.
•Aplique las prácticas adecuadas de limpieza en el área del equipo para prevenir
incendios y accidentes.
Nota: Entre los factores importantes que deben tenerse en cuenta es la presencia de gas
Halón®, detectores de humo subterráneos y cables conductores a otros equipos
instalados en las proximidades.
96053Revision Lxxv
Técnicas de levantamiento de objetos
El levantar equipos o componentes, independientemente de su peso o tamaño, puede
provocar serias lesiones lumbares. Siguiendo estas directrices podrá reducir los riesgos
de
lesiones.
•No incline el cuerpo para levantar o bajar algo. Esta posición supone una tensión
extrema para la espalda, en especial al levantar o transportar objetos. En lugar de
inclinarse, efectúe dos movimientos: primero levante el componente y, a
continuación, utilice los pies para girar el cuerpo.
•Planifique el levantamiento: primero examine el objeto y, a continuación, determine
cómo lo levantará y dónde lo colocará.
•Seleccione la técnica de levantamiento adecuada. Examine el peso y tamaño del
objeto, su ubicación y frecuencia y dirección en que vaya a levantarlo. La planificación
debe hacerse de tal modo que se eviten posturas incómodas. Determine si son
necesarios accesorios para la manipulación de materiales.
•Separe bien las piernas y coloque una ligeramente detrás de la otra. Mantenga la
espalda recta, porque incluso pesos ligeros pueden incrementar significativamente
la
presión sobre la espina dorsal al inclinarse hacia adelante.
•En la medida de lo posible, sostenga la carga con toda la mano, y utilice ambas
manos.
•Transporte los objetos a la altura del codo y próximos a su cuerpo. Cuanto más lejos
tenga que transportar un objeto, más presión aplicará sobre la zona lumbar.
•Levante el objeto haciendo fuerza con las piernas, y no con la espalda. Los músculos
de las piernas se cuentan entre los más fuertes del cuerpo. Al acuclillarse y levantar un
peso con las piernas, tendrá mayor tolerancia al peso.
•Alterne estas tareas con otras menos pesadas para los mismos músculos. De este
modo, los músculos dispondrán de un cierto tiempo de recuperación.
Seguridad de hombros, codos, muñecas y manos
Siga estas instrucciones para reducir al mínimo las posibilidades de lesionarse los
hombros, codos, muñecas y manos.
•Trabaje dentro de su zona de seguridad, el área entre el nivel de los hombros y el nivel
de los nudillos. Trabajando o levantando objetos dentro de esta área se expondrá a
menos probabilidades de lesiones.
•Mantenga los codos inclinados para mantener las cargas próximas a su cuerpo y
reducir la fuerza necesaria para realizar la tarea. Con esta postura, aplicará menos
peso y presión sobre los hombros.
•Asegúrese de mantener las muñecas rectas. Evite doblarlas, extenderlas o torcerlas
durante períodos de tiempo prolongados.
