Important safety information and precautions

Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-testing the drive to ensure

proper cooling of drive components.

Use proper safety and repair techniques for safe, reliable operation of this unit.

Service should be done only by qualified persons. We recommend the proce-

dures in this manual as effective ways of servicing the unit. Some procedures

require the use of special tools. For proper maintenance and safety, you must

use these tools as recommended.

The procedures in this manual and labels on the unit contain warnings and

cautions that must be carefully read and followed to minimize or eliminate the

risk of personal injury. The warnings point out conditions or practices that may

endanger you or others. The cautions point out conditions or practices that may

damage the unit, possibly making it unsafe for use.

You must also understand that these warnings and cautions are not exhaustive.

We cannot possibly know, evaluate, and advise you of all the ways in which

maintenance might be performed or the possible risk of each technique.

Consequently, we have not completed any such broad evaluation. If you use a

non-approved procedure or tool, first ensure that the method you choose will not

risk either your safety or unit performance.

Always observe the following warnings and precautions:

• Perform all maintenance by following the procedures in this manual.

• Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.

• Use sound safety practices when operating or repairing the unit.

• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages present. Turn off

power to the unit before servicing it.

• Wear safety shoes when removing or replacing heavy parts.

• Provide a means to isolate the drive from the main power in case of fire or other

emergency.

• Ensure that the internal temperature of the rack or cabinet does not exceed

the limits defined for the drive, when the drive is mounted in an equipment rack

or cabinet. When units are stacked vertically, pay special attention to the top

where temperatures are usually highest.

• Follow the precautions listed above in “Electrostatic discharge protection.”

• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive chassis. Return the entire

drive for depot repair if any circuit board is defective. Removal of circuit boards

by personnel not performing depot repair will damage components and may

void the warranty.
