Safety requirements
When making decisions concerning site safety, your first concern should be the safety of your personnel
and then the safety of your equipment.
Fundamental safeguards for systems should include a site well away from any sources of potential
damage.
If you have a
ny questions on site safety, consult your HP representative, your insurance carrier, and local
building inspectors for safety recommendations.
Fire safety
WARNING!
Do not install or operate the system in an environment where there is a risk of fire or explosion due to the
presence of highly flammable gases, volatile liquids, or combustible dust.
Consult your insurance carrier and local fire department for fire safety suggestions. They can analyze
your existing fire control systems and advise you on any required changes. If you are building a new site
or making structura l changes to an existing site, consult your local building codes for fire prevention and
protection guidelines.
Equipment servicing hazards
Your staff and HP service personnel require safe access to the system. Running electrical and data
communication cables underneath your computer room’s raised floor is the best way to ensure that they
do not create a safety hazard.
Electrical hazards
The system equipment racks contain dangerous voltages. To prevent injury or death from electric shock,
refer all electrical installation and service to qualified personnel.
