When using this product, observe the danger, caution, and attention notices
contained in this guide. The notices are accompanied by symbols that represent the
severity of the safety condition.
Most danger or caution notices contain a reference number (RSFTDxxx or
RSFTCxxx). Use the reference number to check the translation in IBM Externally
Attached Devices Safety Information, SA26-2004.
The sections that follow define each type of safety notice and give examples.
A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely
hazardous to people. A lightning bolt symbol always accompanies a danger notice
to represent a dangerous electrical condition. A sample danger notice follows:
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)
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people
because of some existing condition. A caution notice can be accompanied by one of
several symbols:
If the symbol is...
It means....
A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than
electrical danger.
A generally hazardous condition not represented by other
safety symbols.
A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the
product. Laser symbols are always accompanied by the
classification of the laser as defined by the U. S.
Department of Health and Human Services (for example,
Class I, Class II, and so forth).
A hazardous condition due to mechanical movement in or
around the product.
