General safety guidelines
Observe the following general site guidelines:
• General requirements: The data center must comply with all applicable
safety regulations, standards, and requirements for installing and
operating industrial computer equipment similar to a storage system.
• Fire protection: The data center must have an operational fire protection
system appropriate for use with computer and electrical equipment.
• Hazards: The data center must be free of hazards (for example, cables on
the floor that can block access or cause people to trip).
• Equipment modifications: Do not make mechanical or electrical
modifications to the equipment. Hitachi Data Systems is not responsible
for regulatory compliance of a modified Hitachi Data Systems product.
• Earthquake Safety: To minimize personal injury in the event of an
earthquake, securely fasten the control and drive chassis to a rigid
structure extending from the floor to the ceiling or from the walls of the
room in which the system is located.
• Cabling: Do not block walkways when routing cables. Do not place heavy
materials on cables. Do not place cables near any possible source of heat.
• Warning and safety labels: Safety warnings, cautions, and instructions
in various languages are attached to the storage system components. The
safety warnings provide guidelines to follow when working with any
equipment. Before working on the storage system, read all safety and
warning labels attached to it. If the labels become dirty, damaged,
unreadable, or peel off, contact the Hitachi Data Systems support center.
• Authorized personnel: Allow only qualified and authorized personnel (for
example, a certified electrician) to perform hazardous tasks.
Work safety guidelines
Observe the following site guidelines:
• Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the equipment or
mounting hardware. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
• Wear safety glasses when working under conditions that are hazardous to
your eyes.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or
makes the equipment or rack unsafe.
• Keep walkways clear of tools, power cables, and parts to prevent them
from being stepped on or causing people to trip and fall over them.
• Do not work on the equipment or disconnect cables during a
thunderstorm, when wearing a wool sweater or other heavy wool clothing,
or when power is applied.
• Keep floors dry to prevent slips and falls.
• Do not use ungrounded power cables.
