Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from
harm and the SuperServer 6013A-T from damage:
z
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis
as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection
switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can
then quickly remove power from the system.

cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools,
which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards
they come into contact with.

Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have
been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must
be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
