This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground).

Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom- mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon- ventional way.

Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera- ture Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

!

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF clean and free of clutter.

The 5017C-MTF/5017C-MTRF weighs approximately 38 lbs (~17.3 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re- moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
