A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing death or serious personal injury. (D002) 2. Locate IBM Systems Safety Notices with the user publications that were provided with the SAN Volume Controller hardware.
Use extreme care when measuring high voltages. v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition. v Do not use worn or broken tools and testers. IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...
Before you start the safety inspection, make sure that the power is off, and that the power cord is disconnected. Each device has required safety items installed to protect users and IBM service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items.
1. Verify that all external covers are present and are not damaged. 2. Ensure that all latches and hinges are in the correct operating condition. 3. If SAN Volume Controller is not installed in a rack cabinet, check for loose or broken feet. 4. Check the power cord for damage.
