System Safety

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from

harm and the SuperServer 6014L-T from damage:

Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as

the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical

outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power

from the system.

Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or

installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory

modules and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power

down the system with the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power

cords of all the power supply units in the system.

When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is

familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power

if necessary.

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This

is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock.

Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any

electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection

from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally

designed as electrical insulators.

The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
