Installation Sequence
Follow this sequence of steps to ensure the proper installation of any optional
equipment. Before you begin, observe the following precautions:
WARNING:
This equipment is designed for connection to a
grounded AC outlet. The grounding type plug is an important safety
feature. To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment, do not disable this feature.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury or damage to the
equipment when installing options, ensure that the power to the
workstation is turned off and that the AC power cord is
disconnected.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or
damage to the equipment, do not plug
telecommunications/telephone connectors into the network
interface controller (NIC) receptacles.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before
touching.
CAUTION:
Make sure the power outlet you plug your power cord
into is easily accessible and is located as close to the equipment
operator as possible. When you need to disconnect power from the
equipment, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
CAUTION:
Protect the workstation from power fluctuations and
temporary interruptions with a regulating uninterruptible power
supply (UPS). This device protects the hardware from damage
caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the system
in operation during a power failure.
