Precautions for 
Installation, Maintenance 
and Servicing
To reduce the risk of  electric shock or damage to the 
equipment when installing, maintaining or servicing 
products, observe the following precautions.
Installation
Follow the Pre/Post-installation procedures   „
in other parts of the manual.
Follow the installation and confi guration instructions in the manual.
  „
In some geographical areas it may be advisable to   „
install lightning protection for product.
Ensure reliable grounding of rack mounted 
  „
equipment have been maintained.
Maintaining and Servicing:
Product contains power supplies that are capable of producing   „
hazardous energy levels. The installation of internal options 
and routine maintenance and service of this product 
should be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable 
about the procedures, precautions, and hazards associated 
with equipment containing hazardous energy levels.
Do not exceed the level of repair specifi ed in the procedures 
  „
in the product documentation. All troubleshooting and repair 
procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly or module-
level repair. Because of the complexity of the individual 
boards and subassemblies, do not attempt to make repairs at 
the component level or to make modifi cations to any printed 
wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. 
						

							59
Verify that the AC power supply branch circuit that provides   „
power to the rack is not overloaded. This will reduce the risk 
of personal injury, fi re, or damage to the equipment. The total 
rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit 
rating. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction 
over your facility wiring and installation requirements.
The covers should remain locked during normal operation.
  „
The system should be installed in a controlled access location   „
where only qualifi ed personnel have access to the system.
Upon completion of any services or repairs to the product, 
  „
have your authorized service provider perform any safety 
checks required by the repair procedure or by local codes to 
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
Power down the equipment and disconnect all AC power 
  „
cords and cable before removing any access covers.
Do not replace components while power is applied to the product. 
  „
First, shut down the product and disconnect all AC power cords.
Allow the product to cool before removing covers 
  „
and touching internal components.
Move products with casters carefully. Avoid 
  „
quick stops and uneven surfaces.
Do not block the opening used for ventilation, since these ensure 
  „
reliable operation of product and protect it from overheating. 
And opening should be kept free of dust and debris.
Allow suffi cient air circulation around and prevent 
  „
direct exposure to radiant heat sources.
Before cleaning, unplug the product from the 
  „
power source  Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do 
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

Precautions for 
Power Connection
Power Cords
To reduce the risk of  electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Use power cables provided with this product.
  „
If you have to change the power cords for any   „
reason, use an approved power cord.
Not all power cords have the same current ratings. If 
  „
you have questions about the type of power cord to 
use, contact an authorized service provider.
You must use a power cord rated for your product and for the 
  „
voltage and current marked on the electrical ratings label of the 
product. The voltage and current rating of the cord must be greater 
than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
Make sure that the total amper rating of all products plugged into 
  „
an extension cord or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of 
the ampere ratings limit for the extension cord or power strip.
The product is equipped wit a three-wire electrical grounding 
  „
type plug which has a third pin for ground. This plug 
only fi ts into a grounded electrical power outlet.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical 
  „
outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
For Finland: Laite on liitettävä suojamaadoitus-
  à
koskettimilla varustettuun pistorasiaan
For Norway: Apparatet må tilkoples jordet stikkontakt
  à
For Sweden: Apparaten skall anslutas till jordat uttag  à
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The   „
grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Do not place objects on AC power cords or cables. Arrange them 
  „
so that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. 
						

							61
Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from   „
the electrical outlet grasp the cord by the plug.
When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect cables.
  „
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed   „
electrician or your power company for site modifi cations.
Power Supply
Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source   „
match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the equipment’s 
electrical rating label. If you have the question about the type 
of power source to use, contact your authorized service.
100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 16 A
  à
Connect to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet,   „
always follow your local/national wiring rules.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the 
  „
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
If want to help protect your system from sudden, transient 
  „
increases and decreases in electrical power, a surge 
suppressor, line conditioner and so on could be used.
This system is suitable for connection to an IT power system. 
  „
Precautions for 
Communication Cable
To reduce the risk of  exposure to shock hazard from communication cable:
Do not connect communication cable during a lightening storm. 
  „
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightening.
Do not connect or use communication cable in a wet location.
  „
Disconnect the communication cable before opening a product   „
enclosure, touching or installing internal components.

Precautions for Installing System Unit in Racks
Stability
To reduce the risk of  personal injury or damage to the equipment be sure that:
The rack is properly stabilized and supported before installing.
  „
The leveling jacks are extended to the fl oor.  „
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.  „
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.  „
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.  „
Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become   „
unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.
You load the rack from the bottom up and load 
  „
the heaviest item into the rack fi rst.
You do not attempt to move a fully loaded equipment rack. 
  „
Remove equipment from the rack before moving the rack.
Make sure that the product is properly mated with the rails. Products 
  „
that are improperly mated with the rails may be unstable.
Do not place any objects on top of a rack mounted device.
  „
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air   „
fl ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. 
  „
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct 
connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of a power strip). 
						

							63
Manual Material Handling
To reduce the risk of  personal injury or damage to the equipment:
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements 
  „
and guidelines for manual materials handling.
Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the product during 
  „
installation or removal. Do not move large racks by yourself.
Remove all pluggable power supplies and modules 
  „
to reduce the weight of the product.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding 
  „
a component into the rack. The slide rails could pinch your fi ngers.
Do not extend the components from the rack too quickly as 
  „
the moving weight may damage the supporting rails.
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous 
  „
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
