11 3 Important Notes This chapter provides safety instructions which you must observe when handling your system. 3.1 Notes on Safety I The following safety instructions can also be found in the manual entitled Safety. This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for IT equipment, including electronic office machines for use in an office environment. If you have any questions, contact your sales outlet or the Fujitsu Technology Solutions customer service center. V ATTENTION! The activities described in this manual should only be performed by engineers, service personnel or technical specialists. Equipment repairs should only be performed by qualified staff! Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual could endanger the user (through electric shock, fire hazards) or damage the equipment. Please note that any unauthorized opening of the device will result in the invalidation of the warranty and exclusion from all liability. Before setting up V ATTENTION! During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions for your device (see Operating Manual). If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may form both inside and on the outside of the machine. Before operating the device, wait until it is absolutely dry and has reached approximately the same temperature as the installation site. Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual could damage the equipment. BX920 S1 Service Supplement 11

12 Notes on Safety Important Notes V ATTENTION! Transport the device only in its original packaging or in packaging which protects it from knocks and jolts. Installation and operation V ATTENTION! Read the notes on installation and operation in the Operating Manual of the PRIMERGY BX900 basic unit. When installing the server blade in the basic unit, beware of the energy hazard at the midplane conctacts. A short-circuit on these contacts may damage the system. Data cables must be adequately shielded to avoid interference. For the LAN wiring, the requirements according to standards EN and EN /2 apply. The minimum requirement is the use of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet. The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC must also be taken into account. Route the cables in such a way that they do not form a potential hazard (tripping) and cannot be damaged. When connecting the device, refer to the relevant notes in the Operating Manual. Do not connect or disconnect any data transmission cables during a thunderstorm (lightning hazard). Be careful to ensure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paper clips etc.) or liquids get inside the device (electric shock, short circuit). In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, elements, or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the device immediately, unplug it from the grounded power outlet, and contact your customer service centre. V ATTENTION! Proper operation of the device (in accordance with IEC60950/EN 60950) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the rear covers for the installation openings are in place (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression). 12 Service Supplement BX920 S1

13 Important Notes Notes on Safety Install only system extensions that satisfy the requirements and rules governing safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and telecommunications terminal equipment. If you install other extensions, you may damage the system or violate these safety regulations. Information on which system extensions are suitable can be obtained from the customer service center or your sales outlet. The components marked with a warning label (e.g. lightning symbol) may only be opened, removed, or exchanged by authorized, qualified personnel, with the exception of the hot-plug/hot-swap components. If you cause a defect on the device by installing or exchanging system extensions, the warranty will be invalidated. You may only set the resolutions and refresh rates specified in the operating manual for your monitor. Otherwise, you may damage the monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales outlet or customer service center. Batteries V ATTENTION! Incorrect replacement of batteries can lead to risk of explosion. The batteries must be replaced with an identical battery or with a battery type recommended by the manufacturer. see Technical Manual System Board D2860 for BX920. Do not throw batteries into the trash can. Please dispose of them in accordance with local regulations for special refuse. V ATTENTION! Replace the lithium battery on the system board in accordance with the instructions in the Technical Manual for the system board. All batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol (a crossed-out garbage can). In addition, the marking is provided with the chemical symbol of the heavy metal decisive for the classification as a pollutant: Cd Cadmium Hg Mercury Pb Lead BX920 S1 Service Supplement 13

14 Notes on Safety Important Notes Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components: Components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) are marked with the following label: Figure 1: ESD labe When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following points under all circumstances: Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing components containing ESDs. You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before working. The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges. Only touch the components at the positions highlighted in green (Touchpoints). Do not touch any exposed pins or conductors on a component. Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the system unit as you install components. Place all components on a static-safe base. I You will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the relevant European or international standards (DIN EN , ANSI/ESD S20.20). 14 Service Supplement BX920 S1

15 Important Notes Environmental protection 3.2 Environmental protection Environmentally-friendly product design and development This product has been designed in accordance with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers standard for environmentally friendly product design and development. This means that key factors such as durability, selection and labeling of materials, emissions, packaging, ease of dismantling and recycling have been taken into account. This saves resources and thus reduces the harm done to the environment. Energy-saving information Devices that do not need to be constantly switched on should be switched off until they are needed as well as during long breaks and after completion of work. Packaging information Do not throw away the packaging. You may need it later for transporting the system. If possible, the equipment should only be transported in its original packaging. Information on handling consumables Please dispose of printer consumables and batteries in accordance with the applicable national regulations. In accordance with EU directives, batteries must not be disposed of with unsorted domestic waste. They can be returned free of charge to the manufacturer, dealer or an authorized agent for recycling or disposal. All batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol (a crossed-out garbage can). They are also marked with the chemical symbol for the heavy metal that causes them to be categorized as containing pollutants: Cd Cadmium Hg Mercury Pb Lead Labels on plastic casing parts Please avoid sticking your own labels on plastic parts wherever possible, since this makes it difficult to recycle them. BX920 S1 Service Supplement 15

16 Environmental protection Important Notes Returns, recycling and disposal The device must not be disposed of with domestic waste. This device is labeled in compliance with European directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This directive sets the framework for returning and recycling used equipment and is valid across the EU. When returning your used device, please use the return and collection systems available to you. Further information can be found at Details regarding the return and recycling of devices and consumables within Europe can also be found in the Returning used devices manual, via your local Fujitsu Technology Solutions branch or from our recycling center in Paderborn: Fujitsu Technology Solutions Recycling Center D Paderborn Tel Fax Service Supplement BX920 S1
