equipment provided.

General safety

When you service the IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 , follow general safety guidelines.
Use the following general rules to ensure safety to yourself and others.
• Observe good housekeeping in the area where the devices are kept during and after maintenance.
• Follow the guidelines when lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the

muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 18 kg (40 lb) or objects

that you think are too heavy for you.

• Do not perform any action that causes a hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Before you start the device, ensure that other personnel are not in a hazardous position.
• Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing

the unit.

• Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people cannot trip over it.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a device. Ensure that your sleeves

are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconducting clip,

approximately 8 cm (3 in.) from the end.

• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

• Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using

solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device

that is worn or defective.

• Reinstall all covers correctly after you have finished servicing the unit.
