World Trade safety information
Several countries require the safety information contained in product publications to be presented in their
national languages. If this requirement applies to your country, safety information documentation is
included in the publications package (such as in printed documentation, on DVD, or as part of the product)
shipped with the product. The documentation contains the safety information in your national language
with references to the U.S. English source. Before using a U.S. English publication to install, operate, or
service this product, you must first become familiar with the related safety information documentation.
You should also refer to the safety information documentation any time you do not clearly understand any
safety information in the U.S. English publications.
Replacement or additional copies of safety information documentation can be obtained by calling the IBM

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 the 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. For AC power, disconnect all power cords from their AC power
source. For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), disconnect the customer’s DC power source
to the PDP.
• When connecting power to the product ensure all power cables are properly connected. For racks with
AC power, 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. For racks with a
DC power distribution panel (PDP), connect the customer’s DC power source to the PDP. Ensure that the
proper polarity is used when attaching the DC power and DC power return wiring.
• Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets.
