28 Chapter 3 Installing the xStack Storage Array
3.2 Safety Considerations
Observe the following guidelines to ensure safety:
Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis mounting hardware.
Wear safety glasses when working under conditions that are hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the rack or
equipment unsafe.
Do not work on the equipment or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm, when wearing a
wool sweater or other heavy wool clothing, or when power is applied.
Disconnect all power before installation and before connecting or disconnecting cables.
Avoid hazards such as moist floor and ungrounded power-extension cables.
To avoid damage to the xStack Storage Array due to Electrostatic discharge (ESD), wear an
ESD-preventive wrist strap. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the
metal part of the chassis. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to
safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.
