4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the 2041M-32R+/2041M-T2R+ from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the
room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an
electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or install-
ing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and the
DVD-ROM (not necessary for SAS/SATA drives). When disconnecting power, you
should fi rst power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the
power cords from all the power supply modules in the system.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is
to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme
caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components
or circuit boards they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally designed as
electrical insulators.
The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged
into grounded electrical outlets.
