Esd Precautions; Rack Safety; Rack Installation - IBM SAN192C-6 Installation, Service And User Manual

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:
• Attach ground to the indicated area on the chassis
• Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if the switch is plugged in) or a bench
ground.
Note : For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
• Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging

Rack safety

Be sure to follow all safety guidelines when installing the device.

Rack installation

DANGER : Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:
• Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
• Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
• Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
• To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest
devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting
from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on
top of rack-mounted devices.
• Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords
in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
• Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack
cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power
device installed in a different rack cabinet.
• An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts
of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer
to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
