CAUTION:

vWhen moving frames into position, team members should work together. Using one person on each corner of the frame can prevent strain.

vIn raised floor installations, mechanically safe moldings should be installed around floor cutouts. Extreme caution should be used when moving frames during installation or removal because of the proximity of floor cutouts to casters. (SPSFC015)

CAUTION:

When using step ladder or step stool, be sure that the work surface is level and the step ladder or step stool is in good working order. (SPSFC016)

CAUTION:

Portable ladders present a serious safety hazard if not used properly. Follow these general guidelines:

vMake sure the ladder is firm and steady, and has no defective rungs or braces.

vWork only on a level surface.

vNever use a metal ladder near electrical power lines.

vNever overreach. Instead, move the ladder.

Be as careful on a short ladder as on a 30-foot extension ladder. False security can lead to carelessness and falls which can cause painful injuries. (SPSFC017)

CAUTION:

All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles. (SPSFC018)

Laser safety information

The RS/6000 SP might contain certain communication adaptors, such as ESCON or FDDI, which are fiber optic based and use lasers.

Laser Compliance

All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class 1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition 1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and approval information.
