General Safety Precautions; System Specifications - Rackable Systems S3118 User Manual

•
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical
shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
•
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into
grounded electrical outlets.
•
Verify that the electrical outlets and power strips which the server is plugged into have reliable
earthing.
•
Verify that the server is plugged into an electrical outlet with appropriate circuit overloading
protection.

6.2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•
Keep the area around the S3118 clean and free of clutter.
•
The S3118 weighs approximately 85 lbs. When lifting the system, two people at either end should
lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your backs straight and
lift with your legs.
•
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from the
system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
•
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt
sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
•
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that
can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or
areas where power is present.
•
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit
with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.
•
Motherboard battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed
upside down, which will reverse its polarities. This battery must be replaced only with the same or
an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
•
To ensure proper cooling when the server is operating, care must be taken to assure that all
chassis covers are in place, and that the room ambient temperature is within the specified
operating temperature range.
