Work safety guidelines
Observe the following site guidelines:
• Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the equipment or mounting hardware.
Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
• Wear safety glasses when working under conditions that are hazardous to your eyes.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment
or rack unsafe.
• Keep walkways clear of tools, power cables, and parts to prevent them from being stepped
on or causing people to trip and fall over them.
• Do not work on the equipment or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm, when wearing a
wool sweater or other heavy wool clothing, or when power is applied.
• Keep floors dry to prevent slips and falls.
• Do not use ungrounded power cables.
• Keep the area clear and dust free during and after installation.
• Do not block or cover equipment openings. Ensure that all equipment has adequate airflow.
Failure to follow these guidelines can cause overheating and affect the system reliability.
• The rack is equipped with casters so that you can move it short distances to position it for final
installation. Use enough personnel when moving a rack, especially on sloping loading docks
and ramps to a raised computer room floor. Move the cabinet slowly and deliberately, and
make sure that the floor is free from foreign objects and cables that the cabinet could roll over.
WARNING! To avoid injury, wear protective footwear when moving equipment.
Warning about moving parts
Even though customers do not install or maintain equipment, these guidelines are provided to
prevent possible injury when working with authorized service personnel. Observe the following
warning related to moving parts:
• Tuck in any loose clothing so that it cannot be caught by a moving or rotating part such as a
fan.
• Tie up long hair.
• Unless otherwise specifically instructed, do not supply power to any device that contains
rotating or moving parts that are not properly covered.
