Introducing the SGI 1400 Family of Servers
For proper cooling and airflow, always reinstall the chassis covers before turning on the
system. Operating the system without the covers in place can damage system parts. To
install the covers:
1. Check first to make sure you have not left loose tools or parts inside the system.
2. Check that cables, add-in boards, and other components are properly installed.
3. Attach the covers to the chassis with the screws removed earlier, and tighten them
firmly.
4. Insert and lock the padlock to the system to prevent unauthorized access inside the
system.
5. Connect all external cables and the AC power cord(s) to the system.
Caution: A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running.
Also, there may be sharp pins and edges on some board and chassis parts. Contact
should be made with care. Consider wearing protective gloves. There is a danger of
explosion if thebattery isincorrectly replaced.Replace only withthe sameor equivalent
type recommendedby the equipment manufacturer. Discardused batteries accordingto
manufacturer’s instructions.
The system is designed to operate in a typical office or lab environment. Choose a site
that is:
• Clean and free of airborne particles (other than normal room dust).
• Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight.
• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
• Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
• In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we recommend you plug your
system into a surge suppressor and disconnect telecommunication lines to your
modem during an electrical storm.
• Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.
• Providedwith sufficient spaceto accessthe power supply cords,because they serve
as the product’s main power disconnect.
