Safety Considerations

All site preparation, installation, and service work on the 14-Slot Shelf must be performed by qualified

personnel.

WARNING Failure to follow all electrical and mechanical safety precautions in this document

could result in serious personal injury.

Communications Interference

HP system compliance tests are conducted with HP supported peripheral devices and shielded cables, such as

those received with the system. The system meets interference requirements of all countries in which it is

sold. These requirements provide reasonable protection against interference with radio and television

communications.

Installing and using the system in strict accordance with HP instructions minimizes the chances that the

system will cause radio or television interference. However, HP does not guarantee that the system will not

interfere with radio and television reception.

Follow these precautions:

• Use only shielded cables.

• Ensure that all cable connector screws are firmly secured.

• Use only HP supported peripheral devices.

Ensure that all panels and cover plates are secured in place before system operation.

Intra-building Network Connection Requirements

NOTE To protect against intra-building lighting surges, intra-building network connections must use

shielded cables that are grounded at both ends.

Electrostatic Discharge Hazard to Equipment

HP systems and peripherals contain assemblies and components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge

(ESD). Carefully observe the precautions and recommended procedures in this guide to prevent component

damage from static electricity.

CAUTION Wear an ESD wrist strap that is connected to the same ground potential as the unit you are

working on. Connection may be made to any grounded metal assembly in the cabinet. Both you

and the electronic devices must be grounded to avoid damage caused by static discharge. If the

Shelf is not connected to earth ground, protect the Shelf in an ESD-safe working environment

before removing or replacing any field replaceable unit (FRU).
