Safety and Environmental Notices

When using this product, observe the danger, caution, and attention notices that are

contained in this guide. Symbols that represent the severity of the safety condition

accompany the notices.

The sections that follow define each type of safety notice and give examples.

Danger Notice

A danger notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially lethal or extremely

hazardous to people. A lightning bolt symbol always accompanies a danger notice

to represent a dangerous electrical condition. A sample danger notice follows:

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place

hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the products

that attach to the system. It is the customer’s responsibility to

ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent

an electrical shock.

Caution Notice

A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people

because of some existing condition. One of several symbols can accompany a

caution notice:

If the symbol is... It means....

A hazardous electrical condition with less severity than an

electrical danger.

A generally hazardous condition not represented by other

safety symbols.

A hazardous condition due to the use of a laser in the

product. Laser symbols are always accompanied by the

classification of the laser as defined by the U. S.

Department of Health and Human Services (for example,

Class I, Class II, and so forth).

Sample caution notices follow:

CAUTION:

The controller card contains a lithium battery. To avoid possible

explosion, do not burn, exchange, or charge the battery. Discard the

controller card as instructed by local regulations for lithium

batteries.

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to use the handle on the module to lift the entire

device (module and enclosure) as a unit. First remove the module;

then, use two hands to lift the enclosure.

Attention Notice

An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or

system (server), or to data. An exclamation point symbol may accompany an

attention notice, but is not required. Sample attention notices follow:

Attention: If you use a power screwdriver to perform this

procedure it could destroy the tape.

Attention: Do not operate the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive in a poor air quality

environment.

Laser Safety and Compliance

These products contain components that comply with performance standards that

are set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Part 21CFR, 1040.10/11). This

means that these products belong to a class of laser products that do not emit

hazardous laser radiation. This classification was accomplished by providing 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 these products and have obtained approvals to the latest

standards as they apply to this product type.
