Safety Precautions

Safety Agency Compliance Statements

Read this section before beginning any procedure. The following text provides safety precautions to follow when installing a Sun Microsystems product.

For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when setting up your equipment:

■Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment.

■Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the equipment’s electrical rating label.

■Never push objects of any kind through openings in the equipment. Dangerous voltages may be present. Conductive foreign objects could produce a short circuit that could cause fire, electric shock, or damage to your equipment.

Symbols

The following symbols may appear in this book:

Caution – There is a risk of personal injury and equipment damage. Follow the instructions.

Caution – Hot surface. Avoid contact. Surfaces are hot and may cause personal injury if touched.

Caution – Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to personal health, follow the instructions.

Depending on the type of power switch your device has, one of the following symbols may be used:

On – Applies AC power to the system.

Off – Removes AC power from the system.

Standby – The On/Standby switch is in the standby position.

Modifications to Equipment

Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Sun Microsystems is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified Sun product.

Placement of a Sun Product

Caution – Do not block or cover the openings of your Sun product. Never place a Sun product near a radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the reliability of your Sun product.
