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.

  • This product is intended for restricted access whereby access is controlled through the use of a means of security (for example, key, lock, tool, badge access) and personnel authorized for access have been instructed on the reasons for the restrictions and any precautions that need to be taken.

  • Do not directly connect this product to outdoor metallic communications cables. Always connect the product to outdoor metallic communications cables using a protection device that is designed for direct connection to outdoor metallic communications cables (such as a switch or router), or use optical non-metallic communications cables upon leaving the building.

  • Do not directly connect this product to outdoor power cables.

    • For AC Power, connect the product only to an indoor power distribution system that uses current-limiting circuit breakers for AC power.

    • For DC Power, connect the product only to earthed power systems that are completely contained within one building.

Power Cord Connection

This figure shows a yellow triangle containing a zigzag downward arrow (high voltage symbol).

Caution: Oracle products are designed to work with power systems having a grounded neutral (grounded return for DC-powered products). To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug Oracle 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. Do not use the power cord provided with your equipment for any other products or use. 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 Oracle product.

  

The following caution applies only to devices with a Standby power switch:

This figure shows a yellow triangle containing a zigzag downward arrow (high voltage symbol).

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.

  

The following caution applies only to devices with multiple power cords:

This figure shows a yellow triangle containing a zigzag downward arrow (high voltage symbol).

Caution: For products with multiple power cords, all power cords must be disconnected to completely remove power from the system.

Battery Warning

This figure shows a yellow triangle containing an exclamation point (caution symbol).

Caution: There is danger of explosion if batteries are mishandled or incorrectly replaced. On systems with replaceable batteries, replace only with the same manufacturer and type or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer per the instructions provided in the product service manual. Do not disassemble batteries or attempt to recharge them outside the system. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Dispose of batteries properly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations. Note that on the main board, there is a lithium coin cell battery installed in a battery holder. If you need to replace the lithium coin cell battery, use a Maxell CR2032 or equivalent battery type.
