Consumer Safety Statements
Customer Installation and Servicing of Equipment
The following statements pertain to safety issues regarding customer installation and
servicing of equipment described in this manual.
•
Keep door closed for normal operation.
•
Batteries must be disposed of in compliance with local ordinances.
Applicability of Procedures, Instructions, and Examples
Caution. After unplugging the fan’s power cable from the PMCU, wait for the fan to stop
spinning before performing the next servicing step.
Caution. Be careful not to drop the mounting screws into the fan unit.
WARNING. Do not plug in the fan’s power cable until after you have mounted the fan. The fan
blades begin to rotate as soon as the fan’s power cable is plugged into the PMCU.
WARNING. Do not touch the DC power connector on the S7400/S7600/Sxx000 PMF CRU
after you have unplugged the DC power cable from the CRU. It is possible to incur a severe
energy hazard for as long as fifteen (15) seconds after unplugging the cable. You can make
sure the CRU is safe to remove by testing (by using a volt meter) before touching the pins on
the DC power connector.
WARNING. The procedures and instructions and the examples of procedures and instructions
found in this manual apply only to the system enclosures and components found in NonStop
S-series servers which are described in the NonStop S-series server documentation. Do not
attempt to use these instructions with any other NonStop system equipment. You can
determine that your system is a NonStop S-series server by reading the label that appears
inside each system enclosure on the CRU in slot 50 or 55. The label includes the product
number 195x, 196x, 197x, or 198x. Read the label before proceeding with any procedure or
instruction found in this manual.
