Use of an improper power source may cause a fire or a power leak. Symbols used in this document and on warning labels Attentions Indicates the presence of electric shock hazards.
Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read) Safety notes This section provides notes on using the server safely. Read this section carefully to ensure proper and safe use of the server. For symbols, refer to Safety precautions. General WARNING Do not use the server for services where human life may be at stake or high reliability is required.
Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read) Rack installation CAUTION Do not attempt to carry or install the server alone More than two people are required to carry or install the rack. Otherwise, the rack may fall, resulting in personal injury or damage to peripheral devices. In particular, tall racks such as a 44U rack become unstable unless steadied with a stabilizer. Make sure that two or more people hold the rack to carry or install the rack.
Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read) Power supply and power cord use WARNING Do not hold the power plug with a wet hand. Do not disconnect/connect the plug while your hands are wet. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock. Do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe. Failure to follow this warning may cause a gas explosion. CAUTION Plug in to a proper power source. Use a grounded outlet with the specified voltage.
Precautions for Use (Be Sure to Read) CAUTION Do not use the attached power cord for any other devices or usage. The power cord that comes with your server is designed aiming to connect with this server and to use with the server, and its safety has been tested. Do not use the attached power cord for any other purpose. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not pull out a cable by gripping the cable part. Pull a cable straight out by gripping the connector part.
