Class I Laser Product; Rack Safety - IBM System Storage TS3100 Installation Quick Reference Manual

Class I Laser Product

The library may contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance standards set by the U.S.
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.

Rack Safety

The following general safety information should be used for all rack mounted devices.
DANGER
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v 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.
v Rack mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or work space. Do not place any object
on top of rack mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power
cords in the rack cabinet before servicing any device in the rack cabinet.
v 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.
v 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.
CAUTION:
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or educed on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total pwer requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets
are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack may
become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and should not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack may cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
