Safety Agency Compliance Statements
Read this section before beginning any procedure. The
following text provides safety precautions to follow when
installing a Sun Microsystems product.
Safety Precautions
For your protection, observe the following safety precautions
when setting up your equipment:
• Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the
equipment.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power
source match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the
equipment’s electrical rating label.
• Never push objects of any kind through openings in the
equipment. Dangerous voltages may be present.
Conductive foreign objects could produce a short circuit
that could cause fire, electric shock, or damage to your
equipment.
Symbols
The following symbols may appear in this book:
Caution – There is risk of personal injury and
equipment damage. Follow the instructions.
Caution – Hot surface. Avoid contact. Surfaces are
hot and may cause personal injury if touched.
Caution – Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce
the risk of electric shock and danger to personal
health, follow the instructions.
On – Applies AC power to the system.
Depending on the type of power switch your device has, one
of the following symbols may be used:
Off – Removes AC power from the system.
Standby – The On/Standby switch is in the standby
position.
Modifications to Equipment
Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the
equipment. Sun Microsystems is not responsible for
regulatory compliance of a modified Sun product.
Placement of a Sun Product
Caution – Do not block or cover the openings of your
Sun product. Never place a Sun product near a
radiator or heat register. Failure to follow these
guidelines can cause overheating and affect the
reliability of your Sun product.
SELV Compliance
Safety status of I/O connections comply to SELV
requirements.
Power Cord Connection
Caution – Sun products are designed to work with
single-phase power systems having a grounded
neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not plug Sun products into any other type
of power system. Contact your facilities manager or a
qualified electrician if you are not sure what type of
power is supplied to your building.
Caution – Not all power cords have the same current
ratings. Household extension cords do not have
overload protection and are not meant for use with
computer systems. Do not use household extension
cords with your Sun product.
Caution – Your Sun product is shipped with a
grounding type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into a
grounded power outlet.
The following caution applies only to devices with a
Standby power switch:
Caution – The power switch of this product functions
as a standby type device only. The power cord serves
as the primary disconnect device for the system. Be
sure to plug the power cord into a grounded power
outlet that is nearby the system and is readily
accessible. Do not connect the power cord when the
power supply has been removed from the system
chassis.
