Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions
Please read and observe the following safety topics for this product.
CAUTION:
Potential injury: On-the-job safety is important; therefore, observe the
following safety precautions while you are engaging in any maintenance
or installation activity. Failing to follow these precautions could result in
serious injury.
• Remove all conductive jewelry, such as watches and rings, before you
service powered-on equipment.
• Avoid electrical shock. Be careful when you work near power connectors
and supplies.
• Power-off the equipment that is being serviced (unless otherwise stated).
Remember that dangerous voltages could still be present in some areas
even though power is off.
• Enforce good housekeeping practices in the equipment area to help prevent
fire and accidents.
• Do not lift heavy loads without assistance.
Note: The batteries are heavy and require two people to lift and install them.

Battery Safety

• The UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to
disassemble the unit. The only exception is when replacing the batteries—
battery replacement is permissible.
• Except for the battery, the unit contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs
are performed only by factory trained service personnel.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or damage the batteries. They contain an electrolyte which is
toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.
• Replace the batteries with the same part number and type as the original.

Door Interlock

A safety interlock for the tape library is located behind the front door. When the
door is opened, the interlock immediately disables all tape library motors.
