  • Page 12: Danger Notices

    Electrical cautions CAUTION: Before plugging a cable into any port, be sure to discharge the voltage stored on the cable by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface. CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the chassis and other electronic devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.
  • Page 13 General dangers DANGER The procedures in this manual are for qualified service personnel. DANGER Be careful not to accidently insert your fingers into the fan tray while removing it from the chassis. The fan may still be spinning at a high speed. Electrical dangers DANGER For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.

  • Page 14: Safety Labels

    DANGER Batteries used for RTC/NVRAM backup are not located in operator-access areas. There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used components with batteries according to local ordinance and regulations. Dangers related to equipment weight DANGER Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.

  • Page 15: Attention Notices

    DANGER Hazardous voltage present. Voltages present constitute a shock hazard, which can cause severe injury or death. (L004) CAUTION: Hazardous moving parts nearby. (L008) Attention notices An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or system, or to data. An exclamation point symbol may accompany an attention notice, but is not required.

  • Page 16: Esd Precautions

    ESD precautions Attention: Many of the field replaceable units (FRUs) are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), and can potentially be damaged by improper handling. When working with any FRU, use correct ESD precautions: v Attach ground to the indicated area on the chassis v Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the switch is plugged in) or a bench ground.
  • Page 17 CAUTION: v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices. v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.

  • Page 27: Power Precautions

    Power precautions DANGER Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device to connect it to the power source. DANGER If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country.

  • Page 28: Lifting And Weight-Related Precautions

    CAUTION: Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails. CAUTION: Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device.

  • Page 29: Laser Precautions

    All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers. DANGER Use only optical transceivers that are qualified by IBM and comply with the FDA Class 1 radiation performance requirements defined in 21 CFR Subchapter I, and with IEC 60825 and EN60825. Optical products that do not comply with these standards might emit light that is hazardous to the eyes.
