Electrical precautions
Follow these guidelines to ensure your safety and the safe handling of equipment:
■
Provide a suitable power source with electrical overload protection to meet the power
requirements of the entire system (the server/cluster and all storage systems and
switches).
■
Provide a power cord suitable for the country of installation (if a power cord is not
supplied).
■
Power cords supplied with this server or system may be less than 1.5m in length.
These cords are for use with a power distribution unit (PDU), which is mounted inside
the 19-inch rack. If you require longer cables, contact your Hitachi representative.
■
Provide a safe electrical ground connection to the power cord. Check the grounding of
an enclosure before applying power.
■
Only operate the equipment from nominal mains input voltages in the range 100 -
240Vac, 6A max, 50/60Hz.
Caution: Turn off all power supplies or remove all power cords before
undertaking servicing of the system.
■
Unplug a system component if it must be moved or if it is damaged.
Note: For additional data protection, use an external UPS to power the
server. Also, each of the redundant power supplies in the server and in the
storage systems must be operated from a different main power circuit to
provide a degree of protection from main power supply failures. If one
circuit fails, the other continues to power the server and the storage
system.
