Cautions and Warnings
Electrical Safety Precautions
Caution: During installation or maintenance procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the electronics of the appliance. Use a conductive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground or to the appliance. You can attach it to the connector beside the ESD symbol on the back.
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the appliance from damage.
wBe aware of the location of the emergency power off (EPO) switch, so that you can quickly remove power to the appliance if an electrical accident occurs.
wRemove all jewelry and other metal objects that might come into contact with power sources or wires before installing or repairing the appliance. When you touch both a live power source or wire and ground, any metal objects can heat up rapidly and may cause burns, set clothing on fire, or fuse the metal object to an exposed terminal.
wUse a regulating, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the appliance from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep the appliance operating in case of power failure.
wNever stack the appliance on top of any other server or electronic equipment.
wAll appliances are designed to be installed on power systems that use TN earthing. Do not install your device on a power system that uses either TT or IT earthing.
wMake sure that the appliance has a direct physical connection to the earth during normal use. When installing or repairing an appliance, always make sure that the ground circuit is connected first and disconnected last.
