Safety Precautions
For your protection, observe the following safety precautions
when setting up your equipment:
SELV Compliance
• Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the
equipment.
Safety status of I/ O connections comply to SELV
requirements.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power
source match the voltage and frequency inscribed on the
equipment’s electrical rating label.
Power Cord Connection
Caution – Sun products are designed to work with
single-phase power systems having a grounded
neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electric
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.
• 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.
Symbols
The following symbols may appear in this book:
Caution – 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.
Caution – There is risk of personal injury and
equipment damage. Follow the instructions.
!
Caution – Hot surface. Avoid contact. Surfaces are
hot and may cause personal injury if touched.
Caution – Your Sun product is shipped with a
grounding type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, always plug the cord into a
grounded power outlet.
Caution – Hazardous voltages are present. To reduce
the risk of electric shock and danger to personal
health, follow the instructions.
The following caution applies only to devices with a
Standby power switch:
On – Applies AC power to the system.
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.
Depending on the type of power switch your device has, one
of the following symbols may be used:
Off – Removes AC power from the system.
Standby – The On/ Standby switch is in the standby
position.
System Unit Cover
Modifications to Equipment
You must remove the cover of your Sun computer system
unit in order to add cards, memory, or internal storage
devices. Be sure to replace the top cover before powering up
your computer system.
Do not make mechanical or electrical modifications to the
equipment. Sun Microsystems is not responsible for
regulatory compliance of a modified Sun product.
