Important: All caution and danger statements in this document are referenced with a letter and digit identifier. This identifier is used to cross reference an English caution (C) or danger (D) statement with translated versions of the caution or danger statement in IBM Systems Safety Notices. For example, if a danger statement contains the identifier D004 translations for that danger statement appear in IBM Systems Safety Notices under statement D004. Be sure to read all caution and danger statements in this documentation before performing the instructions. Read any additional safety information that comes with the equipment or other devices before installing or repairing the device. Danger notices A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely hazardous to people. A lightning bolt symbol accompanies a danger notice to represent a dangerous electrical condition. This topic includes a sample danger notice. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2009 ix DANGER An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. A comprehensive danger notice provides instructions on how to avoid shock hazards when servicing equipment. Unless instructed otherwise, follow the procedures in the following danger notice. DANGER Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard: v Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm. v Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. Ensure outlet supplies proper voltage and phase rotation according to the system rating plate. v Connect any equipment that will be attached to this product to properly wired outlets. v When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables. v Never turn on any equipment when there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage. v Disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems before you open the device covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures. v Connect and disconnect cables as described below when installing,
