1.3 Safety Precautions


1.3 Safety Precautions
Caution - Observe the following precautions to protect yourself when performing maintenance.
  1. Observe all the precautions, warnings, and instructions described on the SPARC M12-1.
  2. Do not insert foreign objects into the openings in the SPARC M12-1. Any such foreign object could come into contact with high-voltage circuitry or could short circuit the components, causing a fire or an electric shock.
  3. Contact our service engineer to inspect the SPARC M12-1.
Safety precautions on electricity
  1. Confirm that the voltage and frequency of your input power supply match the electric rating described on the system name plate label affixed on the server.
  2. Wear a wrist strap when handling internal storage (HDD/SSD), a motherboard unit, memory, or other printed boards.
  3. Use grounded power outlets.
  4. Do not attempt to make any mechanical or electrical modifications. Fujitsu shall not be responsible for the regulatory compliance of a SPARC M12-1 that has been modified.
Rack-related safety precautions
  1. The racks should be fixed on the floor, ceiling, or the adjacent frame.
  2. The racks may be supplied with a quakeresistant options kit. The use of the quakeresistant options kit prevents the rack from falling over when the SPARC M12-1 slides out on slide rails, either for installation or maintenance.
  3. Prior to installation or maintenance, a safety assessment should be conducted by our service engineer in the following cases:
    - When the quakeresistant options kit is not supplied and the rack is not fixed to the floor with bolts: Confirm safety by checking whether the rack could fall over, etc. when the SPARC M12-1 is pulled out on the slide rails.

    - When the rack is to be installed on a raised floor: Confirm that the raised floor can bear the load when the SPARC M12-1 is pulled out on the slide rails.
  4. If the SPARC M12-1 is mounted at the 20U level or higher, use a step ladder.
  5. If multiple SPARC M12-1 machines are mounted in a rack, perform maintenance for each of them.
For details on the rack, see "Chapter 2 Planning and Preparing for System Installation" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-1 Installation Guide.
