  • Page 14: General

    NEC assumes no liability for any accident resulting in personal injury, death, or property damage if the system has been used in the above conditions.
  • Page 15 Do not use any unauthorized interface cable. Use only interface cables provided by NEC and locate the proper device and connector before connecting a cable. Using an unauthorized cable or connecting a cable to an improper destination may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.
  • Page 16 CAUTION Avoid installation in extreme temperature conditions. Immediately after the blade assembly unit is powered off, its internal components such as hard disk drives are very hot. Let the blade assembly unit internal components fully cool down before installing/removing any component. Avoid contact with the blade assembly unit during thunderstorms.

  • Page 17: Power Supply And Power Cord

    Power Supply and Power Cord WARNING Do not hold the power plug with your hands wet. Do not disconnect/connect the plug with your hands wet. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock. Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
  • Page 18 CAUTION Use the authorized power cord only. Use only the power cord that comes with the blade assembly unit. Using an unauthorized power cord may cause a fire when the electric current exceeds the rated flow. Also, observe the following to prevent an electric shock or fire caused by a damaged cord.

  • Page 19: Rack Assembly

    Rack Assembly WARNING Do not use the blade assembly unit in any unapproved place. Install the blade assembly unit on a standard EIA 19-inch rack assembly. Do not install the rack containing the blade assembly unit in a place inappropriate to the rack installation environment.
  • Page 20 CAUTION Do not pull out a device from the rack if the rack is unstable. Always pull out a device from the rack only if the rack is perfectly stable (by the installation of stabilizers or earthquake-resistant construction). Do not leave more than one device pulled out from the rack. Pulling out more than one device from the rack at the same time may cause the rack to fall.

  • Page 21: Installation, Relocation, And Storage

    Installation, Relocation, and Storage WARNING Never attempt to lift the blade assembly unit if less than four persons are present. The blade assembly unit weighs up to 67 kg (depending on its hardware configuration). To avoid personal injury, four or more persons are required to carry the blade assembly unit.
  • Page 22 WARNING CAUTION Do not leave the blade assembly unit pulled out from the rack. The blade assembly unit has no mechanical stoppers or locks to prevent it from falling from the rack. Fix the blade assembly unit to the rack while installing and removing the optional device or maintaining the blade assembly unit.
