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 chassis.
  2. Do not insert foreign objects into the openings in the chassis. 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 a service engineer to inspect the chassis.
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 chassis.
  2. Wear a wrist strap when handling an internal disk, a mother board unit, 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 chassis 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 racks from falling over when sliding a chassis out on a slide rail, either for installation or maintenance.
  3. Prior to installation or maintenance, a safety assessment should be conducted by a 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 a chassis is pulled out on the slide rail.

    When the rack is to be installed on a raised floor: Check that the raised floor can bear the load when a chassis is pulled out on the slide rail.
  4. If the chassis is mounted at the 20U level or higher, use a step ladder.
  5. If multiple chassis are mounted in a rack, perform maintenance for each of the chassis.
For details on the rack, see "Chapter 2 Planning and Preparing for System Installation" in the Fujitsu M10-1/SPARC M10-1 Installation Guide.
