CAUTION
To prevent fires, and damage to the equipment and suppl y wiring, make sure that
the rated load of the power branch circuit is not exceeded. Equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern. F or more information on
installation and wiring of power-related facilities, contact your electrician or local
power company.
If the equipment emits smoke, odor, or noise, immediate ly turn off the POWER
switch, unplug the cord, and contact your sales agent. Ther e may be a risk of a
fire.
Use a wall outlet with the specified voltage rating an d power type. Otherwise,
there is a risk of a fire or current leakage.
Avoid installing the equipment where you may need to us e an extension cord. If
you use a cord that does not meet power specifications, ther e is a risk of
overheating that could lead to a fire.
Insert the plug firmly into an outlet. Otherwise, there is a risk of heat or fire due to
poor contact. If dust settles on the slots and it absorbs m oisture, there is also a
risk of heat or fire.
Use only the supplied power cords. If the rated current of the power cord is
exceeded, there is a risk of a fire. Also observe the foll owing prohibitions to
prevent damage to cords:
Do not pull on the cord.
Do not pinch the cord.
Do not bend the cord.
Keep chemicals away from the cord.
Do not twist the cord.
Do not place any object on the cord.
Do not bundle several cords.
Do not alter, modify, or repair the cord.
Do not staple the cord.
Use only interface cables designed for your server. Identif y which component or
connector to attach beforehand. If you use a wrong cable or m ake a wrong
connection, there is a risk of short-circuit that could lead to a fire. You also have
to observe the following prohibitions about handli ng and connecting interface
cables:
Do not use any damaged cable connector.
Do not step on the cables.
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet occasionally and c lean the plug with a
dry cloth. Heat will be generated if condensation is f ormed on a dusty plug, which
may cause a fire.
Firmly install all power cords, interface cables and/or boar ds. An incompletely
installed component may cause a contact failure, resu lting in fire and/or smoke.
