Electrical Safety Precautions
Electrical Safety Precautions
You must adhere to the following electrical safety precautions to protect yourself
and to protect the appliance from damage or malfunction:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the appliance as well
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power
from the appliance.
Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
Power should always be disconnected from the appliance when removing or
installing main system components, such as the Serverboard, memory modules
and the DVD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary for hot swappable drives).
When disconnecting power, you should first power down the appliance with the
operating system and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply
modules in the appliance.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is famil-
iar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power, if
necessary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is
to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any elec-
trical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
Serverboard Battery:
CAUTION
- There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities This battery
must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
DVD-ROM laser:
CAUTION
- this Server may have come equipped with a DVD-
ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radi-
ation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional
way.
