Safety Requirements
3Com X Family Hardware Installation Guide #13
General Guidelines
Read and follow these cautions and warnings for further safety guidelines.
CAUTION: Before you start the installation procedures, read this entire chapter for
important information and safety warnings.
Use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection when you handle equipment.
Do not power up the equipment while you install and connect the system.
For rack-mountable equipment, the equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable
support to prevent it from falling over when one or more servers are extended in front of it
on slide assemblies. The equipment rack must be installed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. You must also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.
For rack-mountable equipment, you are responsible for installing an AC power disconnect
for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be
labeled as controlling power to the entire unit, not just to the server.
Make sure that the chassis cooling fans run continuously while the system is powered.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
