    Safety notices Safety notices may be printed throughout this guide. v DANGER notices call attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people. v CAUTION notices call attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people because of some existing condition.
  • Page 8 DANGER When working on or around the system, observe the following precautions: Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard: v Connect power to this unit only with the provided power cord. Do not use the provided power cord for any other product.
  • Page 9 Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system: v Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
  • Page 10 CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building: v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the top of the rack cabinet.
  • Page 11 (L003) All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with IEC 60825 as a class 1 laser product.
  • Page 12 CAUTION: Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than Class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. (C027) CAUTION: This product contains a Class 1M laser.

  • Page 159: Rack Installation Procedures For Racks Not Purchased From

    Figure 135. Mode 2 connection of a 58/87 drawer using HD connectors to two pairs of SAS adapters Rack installation procedures for racks not purchased from Learn the requirements and specifications for installing systems into racks that were not purchased from . This topic provides requirements and specifications for 19-inch racks.
  • Page 160 Rack specifications The general rack specifications are: v The rack or cabinet must meet the EIA Standard EIA-310-D for 19-inch racks published August 24, 1992. The EIA-310-D standard specifies internal dimensions, for example, the width of the rack opening (width of the chassis), the width of the module mounting flanges, the mounting hole spacing, and the depth of the mounting flanges.
  • Page 161 Models 9117-MMB and 9179-MHB use SMP and FSP flex assemblies that extend beyond the rack mount post width. The front rack opening must be 535 mm (21.06 in.) wide for dimension C (the width between the outsides of the standard mounting flanges, see Figure 92 on page 87). The back rack opening must be 500 mm (19.69 in.) wide for dimension C (the width between the outsides of the standard mounting flanges).
  • Page 162 v The rack or cabinet must be capable of supporting an average load of 15.9 kg (35 lb) of product weight per EIA unit. For example, a four EIA drawer has a maximum drawer weight of 63.6 kg (140 lb). –...
  • Page 163 v The rack or cabinet must have stabilization feet or brackets installed both in the front and rear of the rack, or have another means of preventing the rack/cabinet from tipping while the drawer or device is pulled into its extreme front or rear service positions. Note: Examples of some acceptable alternatives: The rack or cabinet might be securely bolted to the floor, ceiling or walls, or to adjacent racks or cabinets in a long and heavy row of racks or cabinets.
  • Page 164 to which it was certified, the NRTL name or logo, the NRTL file number or license number, and a list of any Conditions of Acceptance or Deviations. A Manufacturer's Declaration is not proof of certification by an NRTL. v The rack or cabinet must meet all electrical and mechanical safety legal requirements for the country in which it is installed.
  • Page 165 v The rack or cabinet configuration must comply with all requirements for "safe to service" (contact your Installation Planning Representative for assistance in determining if the environment is safe). There must be no unique maintenance procedures or tools required for service. Elevated service installations, where the products to be serviced are installed between 1.5 m and 3.7 m (5 ft and 12 ft) above the floor, require the availability of an OSHA- and CSA-approved nonconductive step ladder.
