A caution notice can be accompaniedby one of several symbols:If the symbol is.It means.A hazardous electrical condition with less severity thanelectrical danger.A hazardous condition that is not represented by othersafety symbols.A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in theproduct. Laser symbols are always accompanied by theclassification of the laser as defined by the U. S.Department of Health and Human Services (for example,Class I, Class II).A hazardous condition due to mechanical movement in oraround the product.32-55 kg (70.5-121.2 lbs)svc00168A hazardous condition due to the weight of the unit.Weight symbols are accompanied by an approximation ofthe product's weight.xv

If the symbol is.It means.A hazardous condition due to the unit's susceptibility toelectrostatic discharge.Laser Safety and ComplianceBefore the library is used, review the following laser safety information.Class I Laser ProductThe product might contain a laser assembly that complies with the performancestandards 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 thenecessary protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiationis inaccessible during operation or is within Class I limits. External safety agenciesreviewed the product and obtained approvals to the latest standards as they apply.Performing the safety inspection procedureBefore you service the unit, complete the following safety inspection procedure.1. Stop all activities between the host and the library’s tape drives.2. Turn off the power to the library by pushing in the Power button on the rearof the tape library for 4 seconds.3. If the drives are SCSI attached, disconnect the SCSI cable and check the SCSIbus terminator for damage.4. Unplug the library’s power cord from the electrical outlet and the library’spower supply unit.5. Check the library’s power cords for damage, such as a pinched, cut, or frayedcord.6. If drives are SCSI attached, check the tape drive's SCSI bus (signal) cable fordamage.7. If drives are FC/SAS attached, check the tape drive's FC/SAS cable fordamage.8. Check the cover of the library for sharp edges, damage, or alterations thatexpose its internal parts.9. Check the cover of the library for proper fit. It should be in place and secure.10. Check the product label at the rear of the library to make sure that it matchesthe voltage at your outlet.xviDell PowerVault TL2000 Tape Library and TL4000 Tape Library: User's Guide

Rack safetyThe following general safety information must be used for all rack-mounteddevices.DANGERv 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 bottomof the rack cabinet.v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as a shelf or workspace. Donot place any object on top of rack-mounted devices.v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure todisconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet before you service anydevice in the rack cabinet.v Connect all devices that are installed in a rack cabinet to powerdevices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cordfrom a device that is installed in one rack cabinet into a power devicethat is installed in a different rack cabinet.v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired might place hazardousvoltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach tothe system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that theoutlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.CAUTION:v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambienttemperatures might e
