$GGLWLRQDO6DIHW\3UHFDXWLRQV
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the following precautions.

*HQHUDO3UHFDXWLRQV
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your system:

‡

iv

Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Dell product except as
explained in your Dell system documentation. Opening or removing covers that
are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to
electrical shock. Components inside these compartments should be serviced
only by a Dell authorized service technician.

‡

If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical
outlet and replace the part or contact your Dell authorized service provider:
— The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
— An object has fallen into the product.
— The product has been exposed to water.
— The product has been dropped or damaged.
— The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.

‡

Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do
not block cooling vents.

‡

Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the
product in a wet environment. If the computer gets wet, see the appropriate
chapter in your troubleshooting guide or contact a Dell-authorized service
provider.

‡

Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so
can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

‡
‡

Use the product only with Dell products or other Dell-approved equipment.

‡

Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type
of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the
type of power source required, consult your Dell service provider or local power
company.

‡

To help avoid damaging your system components, be sure the voltage selection
switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at
your location:

Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.

— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
— 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
Also be sure that your monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.

‡

Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your computer or storage system or for any AC-powered option
intended for your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your
country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and
current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.

v

‡

To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an
extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

‡

Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total
ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip
does not exceed 80 percent of the extension cable or power strip ampere ratings
limit.

‡

Do not use appliance/voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your Dell
product.

‡

To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

‡

Position system cables and power cables carefully; route system cables and the
power cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure
that nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cable.

‡

Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national wiring
rules.

‡

To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after turning
off the system before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

‡

Handle batteries carefully. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external
contacts, dispose of in fire or water, or expose batteries to temperatures higher
than 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). Do not attempt to open or service batteries; replace batteries only with batteries designated for the product.

‡

Turn down the volume before using headphones or other audio devices.

3UHFDXWLRQVIRU6HUYHUDQG6WRUDJH6\VWHPV
Observe the following additional safety guidelines for your system:

vi

‡

Unless your installation and/or troubleshooting documentation specifically allows
it, do not remove enclosure covers, attempt to override the safety interlocks, or
access any components inside the system. Depending on your system, installation and repairs may be done only by individuals who are qualified to service your
computer or storage system equipment and trained to deal with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels.

‡

When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if
offered with your Dell product, observe the following guidelines:
—

Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power
supply.

—

Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.

— If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.

‡

Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are firmly connected to the computer or storage system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven
surfaces.

3UHFDXWLRQVIRU5DFN0RXQWDEOH3URGXFWV
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack
installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warning and/or caution statements and procedures.

NOTE: Dell’s server and storage systems are certified as components for use in Dell’s
rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The final installation of Dell systems and
rack kits in any other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the final combination of Dell systems
and rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency.

‡

System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service technicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the
specifications of a Dell rack.

‡

Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack,
Dell recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.

‡

Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secure to the rack,
extend to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install
front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple
racks before working on the rack.

‡

Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack
first.

‡

Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from
the rack.

‡
‡

Extend only one component at a time from the rack.

‡

After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.

Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

vii

‡

Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The
total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

‡
‡

Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other
systems/components in a rack.
