Preventing machine damage
• Use the tools and instruments, as instructed in this manual, or equivalent
commercially available tools and instruments suited for the purpose.
• Use measurement instruments and powered tools that are properly
calibrated or periodically inspected.
• Before finishing your work, be sure all parts removed during maintenance
have been installed in their original positions in the storage system. Do not
leave any tools or foreign material in the storage system.
Working when the storage system is turned on
Observe the following safety measures when working on the storage system
with the system power turned on. When you perform maintenance, do not
touch live electric parts to prevent an electric shock.
• Do not touch heat sinks immediately after a board is removed because the
heat sinks are extremely hot.
• While performing maintenance, do not drop tools, screws, or other items
into the storage system, because doing so can cause a short circuit.
• While performing maintenance, do not damage or pinch wires.
• When moving a heavy object, have at least two people move the object
after confirming there are no obstacles nearby.
Precautions when using the storage system
• Use the supplied power cords included with the storage system. Do not
use the supplied power cords for other products. Do not use other power
cords with the storage system.
• Shut off the power feed to the equipment and inform the system
administrator immediately if you notice an unusual smell, abnormal heat
generation, or smoke emission. Leaving such conditions unattended can
cause electric shock or fire.
• Exercise care when handling the storage system and its parts. Do not drop
the equipment or parts.
• Do not stand on the storage system. Avoid using the storage system for
any use other than the one for which it was originally designed.
• Do not place heavy objects on the storage system, near the vents on the
front and rear panels, or on the cables attached to the storage system.
• Do not put a container with water, paper clips, or the like on the storage
system or near the power supply.
• Route cables in a way to prevent people from tripping over them.
• Do not operate the storage system in a moist or dusty place.
• Keep these vents open and be sure they are not blocked to keep the
storage system ventilated. Cool air enters the storage system from the air
vent on the front panel and exits through the vent on the rear panel.
