System Safety

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself

from harm and the SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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 the DVD-ROM and fl oppy drives (not necessary for SATA

drives). When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the system

with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all the power

supply modules 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 electrostatic discharge as protection

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

designed as electrical insulators.

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

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
