4 Product Information Guide
• Operate the equipment only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label.
• To avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 30 seconds after turning off the
equipment before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting
a peripheral device from the equipment.
• For non-rack-mounted servers, leave 10.2 cm (4 in) minimum of clearance on all
vented sides of the equipment to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
Restricting airflow can damage the equipment or cause overheating.
• Do not stack equipment or place equipment so close together that it is subject to
re-circulated or preheated air, such as next to an appliance or exhaust vent.
• Ensure that nothing rests on your equipment's cables.
• Move equipment with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected
to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
• Review the weight limits referenced in your equipment documentation before placing
a monitor or other device on top of your equipment.
• Use only approved power cable(s) rated for the equipment. The voltage and current rating
of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the equipment.
• Plug the equipment power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets.
Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use
an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all
equipment plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of
the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect the equipment from fluctuations in electrical power, use a surge suppressor,
line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
CAUTION: Incorrectly installing a battery or using an incompatible battery may increase
the risk of fire or explosion. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type.
• Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture batteries.
• Do not store or place your battery pack next to or in a heat source such as a fire,
heat-generating appliance, car, or exhaust vent. Heating battery cells to temperatures
above 65 °C (149 °F) can cause explosion or fire.
• Do not attempt to open or service batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire or with
household waste. See Battery Disposal instructions.
