Electrical safety
CAUTION:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be
hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the
attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems
before you open the server covers, unless instructed otherwise in the
installation and configuration procedures.
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools
have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate
you when working with live electrical currents.
Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats
that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic
discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from
electrical shock.
v Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or
electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the
switch or unplug the power cord quickly.
v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has
hazardous voltages.
v Disconnect all power before:
Performing a mechanical inspection
Working near power supplies
Removing or installing main units
v Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you
cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies
power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position.
