The following notices and statements are used in IBM documents. They are listed in order of decreasing
severity of potential hazards.
Danger notice definition
A special note that emphasizes a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people.
Caution notice definition
A special note that emphasizes a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some
existing condition, or to a potentially dangerous situation that might develop because of some unsafe
practice.
Note: In addition to these notices, labels might be attached to the product to warn of potential hazards.
Finding translated notices
Each safety notice contains an identification number. You can use this identification number to check the
safety notice in each language.
To find the translated text for a caution or danger notice:
1. In the product documentation, look for the identification number at the end of each caution notice or
each danger notice. In the following examples, the numbers (D002) and (C001) are the identification
numbers.
DANGER: A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing
death or serious personal injury. (D002)
CAUTION: A caution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing
moderate or minor personal injury. (C001)
2. After you download the IBM System Safety Notices document, open it.
3. Under the language, find the matching identification number. Review the topics about the safety
notices to ensure that you are in compliance.
Danger notices for the system
Ensure that you are familiar with the danger notices for your system.
Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice (for example, D005) to find the
matching translated notice in IBM Systems Safety Notices.
DANGER: When working on or around the system, observe the following precautions:
Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous.
To avoid a shock hazard:
• If IBM supplied a power cord(s), connect power to this unit only with the IBM provided power
cord. Do not use the IBM provided power cord for any other product.
• Do not open or service any power supply assembly.
• Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration
of this product during an electrical storm.
• The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all hazardous voltages,
disconnect all power cords.
• Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the
outlet supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating plate.
• Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets.
• When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables.
• Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage.
• Disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems
before you open the device covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and
configuration procedures.
