Electrical safety precautions
:
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from dam-
age.
• Be aware of the location of the emergency power off (EPO) switch, so that you can quickly re-
move power to the appliance if an electrical accident occurs.
• Remove all jewelry and other metal objects that might come into contact with power sources
or wires before installing or repairing the appliance. When you touch both a live power source
or wire and ground, any metal objects can heat up rapidly and might cause burns, set clothing
on fire, or fuse the metal object to an exposed terminal.
• Use a regulating, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the appliance from power
surges and voltage spikes, and to keep the appliance operating in case of power failure.
• Never stack the appliance on top of any other server or electronic equipment.
• All appliances are designed to be installed on power systems that use TN earthing. Do not install
your device on a power system that uses either TT or IT earthing.
• Ensure that the appliance has a direct physical connection to the earth during normal use. When
installing or repairing an appliance, always ensure that the ground circuit is connected first and
disconnected last.
• Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 A international)
is used on all current-carrying conductors on the power system to which your appliances are
connected.
• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
• Always disconnect the appliance from power before removing or installing any component, un-
less the component is hot-swappable. When disconnecting power, first shut down the appli-
ance, and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units connected to the appliance.
As long as the power cord is plugged in, line voltages can be present in the power supply, even
when the power switch is OFF.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical
shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been designed as electrical insulators.
• Ensure that the power source can handle the appliance’s maximum power consumption rating
with no danger of an overload. Always unplug any appliance before performing repairs or up-
grades.
• Do not overload the wiring in your server cabinet or on your server room rack.
