Fire Related Notices
Caution:
To prevent fires, and damage to the equipment and supply wiring,
make sure that the rated load of the power branch circuit is not
exceeded. Equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern. For more information on installation and wiring
of power-related facilities, contact your electrician or local power
company.
If the equipment emits smoke, odor, or noise, immediately turn off the
POWER switch, unplug the cord, and contact your sales agent. There
may be a risk of a fire.
Use a wall outlet with the specified voltage rating and power type.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fire or current leakage.
Avoid installing the equipment where you may need an extension cord.
If you use a cord that does not meet power specifications, there is a risk
of overheating that could lead to a fire.
Insert the plug firmly into an outlet. Otherwise, there is a risk of heat or
fire due to a poor contact. If dust settles on the slots and it absorbs
moisture, there is also a risk of heat or fire.
Use only the supplied power cords. If the rated current of the power
cord is exceeded, there is a risk of fire. Also observe the following
prohibitions to prevent damages to cords:
Do not pull on the cord.
Do not pinch the cord.
Do not bend the cord.
Keep chemicals away from the cord.
Do not twist the cord.
Do not place any object on the cord.
Do not bundle several cords.
Do not alter, modify, or repair the cord.
Do not staple the cord.
Use only interface cables designed for your server. Identify which
component or connector to attach beforehand. If you use a wrong cable
or make a wrong connection, there is a risk of short-circuit that could
lead to a fire. You also have to observe the following prohibitions about
handling and connecting interface cables:
Do not use any damaged cable connector.
Do not step on the cables.
Disconnect the power plug from the outlet occasionally and clean the
plug with a dry cloth. Heat will be generated if condensation is formed
on a dusty plug, which may cause fire.
Firmly install all power cords interface cables and/or boards. An
incompletely installed component may cause a contact failure, resulting
in smoke and/or fire.
