Maintaining Safety with Electricity
Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected
to power and ground and can cause serious burns or can weld the metal object to the
terminals. To see translations of the warnings that appear in the publication, refer to the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
document that accompanied this device.
Follow these guidelines when you work on equipment powered by electricity.
•
Locate the emergency power-OFF switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an
electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn OFF the power.
•
Before working on the system, unplug the power cord.
•
Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–
Installing or removing a chassis
–
Working near power supplies
