Ensure that you are familiar with the danger notices for your system.
Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice (for example,
D005) to find the matching translated notice in IBM Systems Safety Notices.
DANGER
When
working on or around the system, observe the following precautions:
Electrical voltage
and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard:
If IBM® supplied the power cord(s), connect power to this unit
only with the IBM provided power cord. Do not use the IBM provided power cord for any other product. Do not open or
service any power supply assembly. Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation,
maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

DANGER

Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped
with multiple AC power cords or multiple DC power cables. To remove all hazardous voltages,
disconnect all power cords and power cables. (L003)
For racks with a DC power distribution
panel (PDP), disconnect the customer’s DC power source to the PDP.
- When connecting power to the product ensure all power cables are properly connected.
For racks with AC power, connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet.
Ensure that the outlet supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating
plate. For racks with a DC power distribution panel (PDP), connect the customer’s DC power source to
the PDP. Ensure that the proper polarity is used when attaching the DC power and DC power return
wiring.
- Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the
outlet supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating plate.
- Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets.
- When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables.
- Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage.
- Do not attempt to switch on power to the machine until all possible unsafe conditions
are corrected.
- When performing a machine inspection: Assume that an electrical safety hazard is
present. Perform all ontinuity, grounding, and power checks specified during the subsystem
installation procedures to ensure that the machine meets safety requirements. Do not attempt to
switch power to the machine until all possible unsafe conditions are corrected. Before you open the
device covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures:
Disconnect the attached AC power cords, turn off the applicable circuit breakers located in the rack
power distribution panel (PDP), and disconnect any telecommunications systems, networks, and
modems.
- Disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems before you
open the device covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration
procedures.
- Connect and disconnect cables as described in the following procedures when installing, moving,
or opening covers on this product or attached devices.
To disconnect:
- Turn off everything (unless instructed otherwise).
- Remove the power cords from the outlets.
- Remove the signal cables from the connectors.
- Remove all cables from the devices.
To connect:
- Turn off everything (unless instructed otherwise).
- Attach all cables to the devices.
- Attach the signal cables to the connectors.
- Attach the power cords to the outlets.
- Turn on the devices.
Sharp edges, corners and joints might be present in and around the
system. Use care when handling equipment to avoid cuts, scrapes and pinching. (D005)
DANGER
Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might
result if mishandled. (D006)
DANGER
Serious injury or death can occur if loaded lift tool falls over or
if a heavy load falls off the lift tool. Always completely lower the lift tool load plate and
properly secure the load on the lift tool before moving or using the lift tool to lift or move an
object. (D010)
DANGER
Racks with a total weight of > 227 kg (500 lb.), Use Only
Professional Movers! (R003)
DANGER
Do not transport the rack via fork truck unless it is properly
packaged, secured on top of the supplied pallet. (R004)
DANGER
Main Protective
Earth (Ground):
This symbol is marked on the frame of the rack.
The PROTECTIVE EARTHING
CONDUCTORS should be terminated at that point. A recognized or certified closed loop connector
(ring terminal) should be used and secured to the frame with a lock washer using a bolt or
stud. The connector should be properly sized to be suitable for the bolt or stud, the locking
washer, the rating for the conducting wire used, and the considered rating of the breaker. The
intent is to ensure the frame is electrically bonded to the PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS. The
hole that the bolt or stud goes into where the terminal conductor and the lock washer contact
should be free of any non-conductive material to allow for metal to metal contact. All
PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS should terminate at this main protective earthing terminal or at
points marked with
. (R010)
