General safety guidelines

Observe the following general site guidelines:
General requirements: The data center must comply with all applicable safety
■
regulations, standards, and requirements for installing and operating industrial
computer equipment similar to a storage system.
Fire protection: The data center must have an operational fire protection system
■
appropriate for use with computer and electrical equipment.
Hazards: The data center must be free of hazards (for example, cables on the floor
■
that can block access or cause people to trip).
Equipment modifications: Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the
■
equipment. Hitachi Vantara is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified
Hitachi Vantara product.
Earthquake safety: To minimize personal injury in the event of an earthquake,
■
securely fasten the control and drive chassis to a rigid structure extending from the
floor to the ceiling or from the walls of the room in which the system is located.
Cabling: Do not block walkways when routing cables. Do not place heavy materials on
■
cables. Do not place cables near any possible source of heat.
Warning and safety labels: Safety warnings, cautions, and instructions in various
■
languages are attached to the storage system components. The safety warnings
provide guidelines to follow when working with any equipment. Before working on
the storage system, read all safety and warning labels attached to it. If the labels
become dirty, damaged, unreadable, or peel off, contact the Hitachi Vantara support
center.
Authorized personnel: Allow only qualified and authorized personnel (for example, a
■
certified electrician) to perform hazardous tasks.
