If the symbol
is...
A hazardous condition due to the unit's susceptibility to electrostatic discharge.
Sample caution notices follow:
CAUTION:
The battery is a lithium ion battery. To avoid possible explosion, do not burn. Exchange only with the IBM-approved part. Recycle or discard the battery as instructed by
local regulations. In the United States, IBM® has a process for the collection of this battery. For information, call 1-800-426-4333. Have the IBM part number for the
battery unit available when you call. (C007)
CAUTION:
The system contains circuit cards, assemblies, or both that contain lead solder. To avoid the release of lead (Pb) into the environment, do not burn. Discard the circuit card
as instructed by local regulations. (C014)
CAUTION:
When the Modular Refrigeration Unit (MRU) is removed, immediately remove any oil residue from the MRU support shelf, floor, and any other area to prevent injuries
because of slips or falls. Do not use refrigerant lines or connectors to lift, move, or remove the MRU. Use handholds as instructed by service procedures. (C016)
CAUTION:
Do not connect an IBM control unit directly to a public optical network. The customer must use an extra connectivity device between an IBM control unit optical adapter
(that is, fibre, ESCON, FICON®) and an external public network. Use a device such as a patch panel, a router, or a switch. You do not need an extra connectivity device for
optical fibre connectivity that does not pass through a public network.

Possible safety hazards

Possible safety hazards to the operation of this product are:
Electrical
An electrically charged frame can cause serious electrical shock.
Mechanical
Hazards (for example, a safety cover missing) are potentially harmful to people.
Chemical
Do not use solvents, cleaners, or other chemicals that are not approved for use on this product.
Before the library is used, repair any of the preceding problems.

Laser safety and compliance

The library might contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance standards set by the US Food and Drug Administration for a Class I
laser product. Class I laser products do not emit hazardous laser radiation. The library has the necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards
to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External safety agencies have reviewed the library and have
obtained approvals to the latest standards as they apply.

Performing the safety inspection procedure

Before you service the unit, complete the following safety inspection procedure.
1. Stop all activity between the host and the library's tape drive.
2. Turn off the power to the library by switching the Power button on the rear of the tape library to the Off position.
3. Disconnect the tape drive's SAS cable.
4. Unplug the library's power cord from the electrical outlet and the library's power supply unit.
5. Check the library's power cords for damage, such as a pinched, cut, or frayed cord.
6. Check the tape drive's SAS cable for damage.
7. Check the cover of the library for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose its internal parts.
8. Check the cover of the library for proper fit. It should be in place and secure.
9. Check the product label at the rear of the library to make sure that it matches the voltage at your outlet.
