Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect
yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6012P-6 from damage:
! 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.
! Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
! Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or
installing main system components, such as the motherboard, memory
modules and the CD-ROM and floppy drives. When disconnecting
power, you should first power down the system with the operating
system and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units
in the system.
! When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is
familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the
power if necessary.
! Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment.
This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will 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 electrostatic discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have
been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
