Laser safety and compliance
Table 1. Class I Laser Product
The library might contain a laser assembly that complies with the performance standards set by the
US Food and Drug Administration for a Class I laser product. Class I laser products do not emit
hazardous laser radiation. The library has the necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards
to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External
safety agencies have reviewed the library and have obtained approvals to the latest standards as they
apply.
Performing the safety inspection procedure
Before you service the unit, complete the following safety inspection procedure.
1. Stop all activity between the host and the library’s tape drive.
2. Turn off the power to the library by switching the Power button on the rear of the tape library to the
Off position.
3. Disconnect the tape drive’s SAS cable.
4. Unplug the library’s power cord from the electrical outlet and the library’s power supply unit.
5. Check the library’s power cords for damage, such as a pinched, cut, or frayed cord.
6. Check the tape drive’s SAS cable for damage.
7. Check the cover of the library for sharp edges, damage, or alterations that expose its internal parts.
8. Check the cover of the library for proper fit. It should be in place and secure.
9. Check the product label at the rear of the library to make sure that it matches the voltage at your
outlet.
Rack safety
The following general safety information must be used for all rack-mounted devices.
DANGER
v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v To avoid hazardous conditions because of uneven mechanical loading, always install the
heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional
devices, starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Do not place any object
on top of rack-mounted devices.
v Each rack cabinet might have more than 1 power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power
cords in the rack cabinet before you service any device in the rack cabinet.
v Connect all devices that are installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the
same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device that is installed in one rack
cabinet into a power device that is installed in a different rack cabinet.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired might place hazardous voltage on the metal
parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the
customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical
shock.
