2-2 SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Installation Guide • December 2010
■ Be careful not to allow the ambient temperature to rise sharply in winter. Such a
sudden temperature change would cause condensation to form inside the product.
Allow for a sufficient warm-up period prior to operation.
■ Do not install the server near a copy machine, air conditioner, welding machine, or
any other loud equipment.
■ Do not install the server near any equipment generating lots of electronic noise.
■ Do not install the system on the same circuits as devices such as equipment
elevators which can cause voltage sags when they are started up.
■ Take measures to prevent static electricity from being generated at the location.
■ Confirm that the supply voltage and frequency match the electrical ratings
indicated on the server.
■ Do not insert anything into any opening in the server. The server contains
high-voltage parts. If a metal object or another conductor were inserted into an
opening in the equipment, it could cause a short circuit that could cause fire,
electric shock, or equipment damage.
■ For details on maintenance of the server, contact a certified service engineer.

redundant power is provided to the system. Electrical work and installations must
comply with applicable local, state, or national electrical codes.
