Silver Peak Hardware Reference Guide Warning Statements
42 PN 200972-001 Rev B
WARNING BATTERY WARNING: Installing an incompatible battery on the server board may
increase the risk of fire or explosion. Observe the following precautions:
• The battery should only be replaced with a battery that is the same or equivalent as the factory
installed battery.
• Do not attempt to open or service the battery. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or with
household waste. Contact the local waste disposal agency for the location of the nearest battery
deposit site.
CAUTION Please observe the following additional precautions for rack-mounted systems:
• Slide/rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
• Elevated Operating Ambient – If the server is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature in the rack environment may be greater than the room
ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to the maximum operating
temperature specified in the environmental specifications.
• Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the server in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the server in the rack should not create a hazardous
condition from uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading – Connection of the equipment to the supply circuit should not create an
overloaded situation. Pay close attention to equipment nameplate ratings.
• Reliable Grounding – Appliances mounted in racks should be grounded properly. If using
power strips to connect the server to the supply circuit, make certain that the power strips are
also grounded properly.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that the rack and the provided rail system are compatible with
each other before installing the server.
• Install the front and side stabilizers prior to installing equipment in a rack. Failure to install
stabilizers may cause a rack to tip over.
• Load racks from the bottom up, loading the heaviest items near the bottom of the rack.
• Do not stand or step on components in the rack.
• Do not use slide-rail-mounted equipment as a shelf or workspace. Do not add weight to the top
of the server.
WARNING Grounding Instructions for Qualified Electricians Only:
• Grounding techniques may vary. However, a positive connection to a safety (earth) ground is
required.
• Make the ground connection first and disconnect it last to prevent hazards.
• Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably
installed ground conductor.
