Safety statements

These statements provide the caution and danger information that is used in this documentation.

Important

Each caution and danger statement in this documentation is labeled with a number. This number is used to cross reference an English-language caution or danger statement with translated versions of the caution or danger statement in the Safety Information document.

For example, if a caution statement is labeled Statement 1, translations for that caution statement are in the Safety Information document under Statement 1.

Be sure to read all caution and danger statements in this documentation before you perform the procedures. Read any additional safety information that comes with your system or optional device before you install the device.

Statement 1

CAUTION
When replacing the lithium battery, use only Part Number 33F8354 or an equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of.
Do not:
  • Throw or immerse into water
  • Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)
  • Repair or disassemble

Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.

Statement 3

CAUTION
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following:
  • Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
  • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Graphic illustrating Safety Statement 3
DANGER
danger
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the following.

Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.

CAUTION
If you install a strain-relief bracket option over the end of the power cord that is connected to the device, you must connect the other end of the power cord to an easily accessible power source.

Statement 8


Graphic illustrating Safety Statement 8
CAUTION
Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.
Graphic illustrating Safety Statement 8

Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a problem with one of these parts, contact a service technician.

DO NOT open up the chassis or any other parts of any UPS unit. This will void the unit warranty. Only replace parts for which a serviceable part exists, that is servicing any UPS unit is limited to FRU / CRU replacement parts.

Statement 33


Disconnect power
CAUTION
This product does not provide a power-control button. Turning off blades or removing power modules and I/O modules does not turn off electrical current supplied to the product. The product also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the product, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

Statement 34



CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock or energy hazards:
  • This equipment must be installed by trained service personnel in a restricted-access location, as defined by the NEC and IEC 60950-1, First Edition, The Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
  • Connect the equipment to a properly grounded safety extra low voltage (SELV) source. A SELV source is a secondary circuit that is designed so that normal and single fault conditions do not cause the voltages to exceed a safe level (60 V direct current).
  • Incorporate a readily available approved and rated disconnect device in the field wiring.
  • See the specifications in the product documentation for the required circuit-breaker rating for branch circuit overcurrent protection.
  • Use copper wire conductors only. See the specifications in the product documentation for the required wire size.
  • See the specifications in the product documentation for the required torque values for the wiring-terminal screws.
