4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 5017P-TLN4F/TF 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 install-
ing main system components, such as the serverboard and memory modules.
When disconnecting power, you should rst power down the system with the
operating system rst 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 neces-
sary.
•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 static electrical discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically
designed as electrical insulators.
•The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
