WARNING

The push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the system does not
turn off the AC power. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug the
AC power cord from each power supply or wall outlet.

CAUTION, ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and other parts. 
The system can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD. However, we recommend
doing all procedures in this guide only at an ESD-protected workstation. If one is not 
available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap 
attached to chassis ground of the system — any unpainted metal surface — when 
handling components.

CAUTION: Use Grounded Outlet

Use only a grounded power service connection to protect yourself and your system in the
event of a power surge.

Check Power Cord

WARNING

Do not modify or use a supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required
in the region where the system will be installed and used. Only replace the cord
with the correct type. Refer to the cord requirements described below.

Power Cord Requirements

Rating:

Cords must be rated for available AC voltage and have a current rating at least

125% of the current rating of the system.

Connector, wall outlet end:

Cords must be terminated in grounding-type male plugs 

designed for use in your region. It must have certification marks showing certification by
an agency acceptable in your region.

Connector, power supply end:
