1-4 Notes on Using Your ServerPower Supply and Power Cord Use

WARNING

Do not hold the power plug with a wet hand.

Do not disconnect/connect the plug while your hands are wet. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock.

CAUTION

Plug in to a proper power source.

Use a proper wall outlet. Use of an improper power source may cause a fire or a power leak.

Do not install the server where you need an extension cord. Use of a cord that does not meet the power specifications of your server may heat up the cord and cause a fire.

Do not connect the power cord to an outlet that has an illegal number of connections.

The electric current exceeding the rated flow overheats the outlet, which may cause a fire.

Do not pull the cable when disconnecting it.

When disconnecting the cable from the device, hold the cable connector and pull it straight out. Pulling the cable out by the cable portion or giving mechanical stress to the connector could damage the cables and connectors to result in an electrical shock hazard or a fire.

Insert the power plug into the outlet as far as it goes.

Heat generation resulting from a halfway inserted power plug (imperfect contact) may cause a fire. Heat will also be generated if condensation is formed on dusty blades of the halfway inserted plug, increasing the possibility of fire.

Use the authorized power cord only.

Use only the power cord that comes with your server. Use of an unauthorized power cord may cause a fire when the electric current exceeds the rated flow. Also, observe the following to prevent an electric shock or fire caused by a damaged cord.

■Do not stretch the cord harness.

■Do not pinch the power cord.

■Do not bend the power cord.

■Keep chemicals away from the power cord.

■Do not twist the power cord.

■Do not place any object on the power cord.

■Do not bundle power cords.

■Do not alter, modify, or repair the power cord.

■Do not secure the power cord with staples or equivalents.

■Do not use any damaged power cord. (Replace a damaged power cord with a new one of the same specifications. Ask your service representative for replacement.)
