Safety and Environmental Notices

Data Integrity and Verification

®
IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data
corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned
outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the
accuracy of operations performed and data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of
the outage or failure. In addition, users must establish procedures to ensure that there is independent
data verification before relying on such data in sensitive or critical operations. Users should
periodically check the IBM support websites for updated information and fixes applicable to the
system and related software.

Danger Notices

A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the
system or the products that attach to the system. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that
the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock when installing the system, ensure that the power cords for
all devices are unplugged before installing signal cables. (RSFTD202)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock when adding or removing any devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cords for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected
or disconnected. If possible, disconnect all power cords from the existing system before you add or
remove a device. (RSFTD203)
DANGER
To prevent a possible electrical shock during an electrical storm, do not connect or disconnect
cables or station protectors for communications lines, display stations, printers, or telephones.
