Safety Agency Compliance

Before beginning any procedure, read the instructions and cautions in this section. They explain how to work safely with the internal components on your system. The equivalent information, translated into French, German, and Spanish, can be found in a separate appendix.

Safety Precautions

For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when setting up your equipment:

Symbols

The following symbols, which appear in this book, mean:

Caution - Risk of personal injury and equipment damage. Follow the instructions.

Warning - Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce the risk of electric shock and danger to personal health, follow the instructions.

On - The principal on/off switch is in the on position.

Off - The principal on/off switch is in the off position.

Modification to Equipment

Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the equipment. Sun Microsystems, Inc.® is not responsible for regulatory compliance of a modified Sun product.

Placement of a Sun Product

Caution - To ensure reliable operation of your Sun product and to protect it from overheating, openings in the equipment must not be blocked or covered. A Sun product should never be placed near a radiator or heat register.

Power Cord Connection

Warning - Sun products are designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical 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.

Warning - 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.

Warning - Your Sun product is shipped with a grounding type (3-wire) power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into a grounded power outlet.

Top Cover
