• If a failure occurs in the storage system, follow the instructions in this
manual to resolve the situation. If the corrective action is not covered by
this manual, contact your system administrator.
Emergency procedures
Use the following procedures to prevent electrical shock or fire when working
with the storage system while it is in operation.
For electric shock
• Before performing maintenance, clear away any potential electric hazards
in the maintenance area, such as insufficient grounding, loose electrical
cables or a wet floor.
• Before performing maintenance, locate the emergency off switches and
know how to operate them.
• Unless instructed, remove all power sources to the storage system before
working on it. Switching off the storage system power supplies is not
sufficient. When power is distributed from a wall or floor outlet, unplug the
power supply cord or turn off the switch on the power distribution panel or
board.
• If the power supply has a lockout device, lock the device after powering off
the storage system and retain the key. Attach a notice on the panel or
board prohibiting the use of the switch.
• If the machine power has been already turned off, verify these conditions
have been satisfied.
For fire
• Stop all the power to the machine.
• Turn off the emergency power switch or stop the power supply to the
storage system.
• If the fire continues to burn after the power is turned off, take necessary
actions such as using a fire extinguisher or contacting the fire department.
