TX300 S7 / RX350 S7 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual 53
Important information
● Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same power 
circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the server is 
still running but a peripheral device (e.g. memory subsystem) fails during a 
power outage.
● Data cables must be adequately shielded.
● Ethernet cabling has to comply with EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 standards 
or ISO/IEC 11801 standard respectively. The minimum requirement is a 
Category 5 shielded cable for 10/100 Ethernet, or a Category 5e cable for 
Gigabit Ethernet.
● Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential hazard 
(make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged. 
When connecting the server, refer to the relevant instructions in this manual.
● Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (risk of 
lightning hazard).
● Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paperclips etc.) or liquids can get 
inside the server (risk of electric shock, short circuit).
● In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration of 
liquids or foreign bodies), contact the system administrator or your customer 
service team. Only disconnect the system from the mains power supply if 
there is no risk of harming yourself. 
● Proper operation of the system (in accordance with IEC 60950-1 resp. 
EN 60950-1) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the 
rear covers for the installation slots have been fitted (electric shock, cooling, 
fire protection, interference suppression).
● Only install system expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules 
governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility and those relating to 
telecommunication terminals. If you install other expansions, they may 
damage the system or violate the safety regulations. Information on which 
system expansions are approved for installation can be obtained from our 
customer service center or your sales outlet.
● The components marked with a warning notice (e.g. lightning symbol) may 
only be opened, removed or exchanged by authorized, qualified personnel. 
Exception: CSS components can be replaced.
● The warranty is void if the server is damaged during installation or 
replacement of system expansions.
