Observe the following precautions when cabling Exalogic machines. Otherwise, the equipment can be damaged or a malfunction can result.
Do not block any ventilation holes.
Do not place cables under the equipment or have cables stretched tight. Also, do not disconnect a power cord from the equipment while its power is on.
When disconnecting a LAN cable, you might not be able to reach the connector lock with your fingers. If that is the case, press the connector lock with a slotted screwdriver to disconnect the cable. You could damage the system board if you force your fingers into the gap rather than using a slotted screwdriver.
Do not place anything on top of the system or perform any work directly above it.
Take measures to prevent static electricity from being generated at the installation location. Note especially that static electricity is likely to be generated on carpets, and this could lead to a malfunction.
Do not insert anything into any opening in the Exalogic machine. The Exalogic machine contains high-voltage parts. If a metal object or another conductor is inserted into an opening in the machine, it can cause a short circuit that could cause fire, electric shock, or equipment damage.
