Electrical Safety Precautions

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself

from harm and the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i 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 CD-ROM drive (not necessary for the SCSI drives). When

disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the

operating system 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 electrostatic discharge as protection

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

designed as electrical insulators.
