CAUTION:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server/workstation covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.
Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.
vFind the room emergency
vDo not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
vDisconnect all power before:
–Performing a mechanical inspection
–Working near power supplies
–Removing or installing Field Replaceable Units
vBefore you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to
vIf you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
–Ensure that another person, familiar with the
Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.
–Use only one hand when working with
Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.
–When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.
–Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.
vRegularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.
vDo not use worn or broken tools and testers.
vNever assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been
