Important safety information
For important safety, environmental, and regulatory information, see Safety and Compliance Information for Server, Storage,
Power, Networking, and Rack Products, available at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Personal safety
•
The system has its own power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized, even if the system
is disconnected from the AC power source.
•
Dangerous voltage levels are present within the system. The system must be opened exclusively by qualified service
personnel.
•
The system must be properly grounded.
•
The battery supplied with the system contains small amounts of toxic materials.
•
There are no user serviceable parts inside the system, except for the replaceable battery.
•
To avoid accidents, observe the following directives:
◦
Battery hot swap service must be performed by qualified service personnel with knowledge of batteries and the
required precautions.
◦
When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
◦
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the batteries might explode.
◦
Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current might be high.
•
The following precautions must be taken for all handling:
◦
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
◦
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
◦
Battery removal and/or replacement, by the end user, requires powering down the load and UPS. Consider scheduling a
maintenance window.
Product safety
•
The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the guide must be followed in the indicated order.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, the unit only connects to a dedicated circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection
with D curve in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 30A for R5000, 32A for R6000. The upstream
circuit breaker must be easily accessible. The unit can be disconnected from AC power source by opening this circuit
breaker.
•
A means of disconnection and overcurrent protection devices will be provided by others for permanently connected AC
input/output circuits.
•
Verify that the indication on the rating plate corresponds to the AC powered system and to the electrical consumption of
all the equipment that will be connected to the system.
•
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
•
Never install the system near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
