Safety Guidelines

Before Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer arrives, review the following safety precautions to ensure that the site is safe and ready for delivery. Failing to observe these precautions can result in injury, equipment damage, or malfunction.

Do not block ventilation openings.
Do not install Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight or near a device that may become hot.
Do not install Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer in a location that is exposed to excessive dust, corrosive gases, or air with high salt concentrations.
Do not install Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer in a location that is exposed to frequent vibrations. Install it on a flat, level surface.
Use a power outlet that provides proper grounding. For shared grounding, the grounding resistance must not be greater than 10 ohms. Ensure that your facility administrator or a qualified electrical engineer verifies the grounding method for the building and performs the grounding work.
Be sure that each grounding wire used for Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer is used exclusively for Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer . Observe the precautions, warnings, and notes about handling that appear on labels on the equipment.
Do not place cables under the equipment or stretch the cables tightly.
Do not disconnect power cords from the equipment while its power is on.
If you cannot reach the connector lock when disconnecting LAN cables, then press the connector lock with a flathead screwdriver to disconnect the cable. You could damage the system board if you force your fingers into the gap rather than using a flathead screwdriver.
Do not place anything on top of Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer or perform any work directly above it.
Do not let the room temperature rise sharply, especially in winter. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form inside Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer . Allow for a sufficient warm-up period before operation.
Do not install Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer near a photocopier, air conditioner, welding machine, or any other equipment that generates loud, electronic noises.
Avoid static electricity at the installation location. Static electricity transferred to Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer can cause malfunctions. Static electricity is often generated on carpets.
Confirm that the supply voltage and frequency match the electrical ratings indicated for Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer .
Do not insert anything into any Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer opening, unless doing so is part of a documented procedure.

WARNING:
Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer contains high-voltage parts. If a metal object or other electrically conductive object enters an opening in Oracle Big Data Cloud at Customer , then it could cause a short circuit. This could result in personal injury, fire, electric shock, and equipment damage.
When using single-phase power distribution units (PDUs), note the following:
- PDU A input 0 and PDU B input 2 must be on the same phase.
- PDU A input 1 and PDU B input 1 must be on the same phase.
- PDU A input 2 and PDU B input 0 must be on the same phase.
The inputs are labeled where they come out of the PDU. Connecting cables as described ensures that the phases are balanced on both sides, A and B, in a failover.
