Use this information to help you identify potential unsafe conditions in a Lenovo product that
you are working on.
Each Lenovo product, as it was designed and manufactured, has required safety items to
protect users and service technicians from injury. The information in this section addresses only
those items. Use good judgement to identify potential unsafe conditions that might be caused
by alterations or attachment of non-Lenovo features or optional devices that are not addressed
in this section. If you identify an unsafe condition, you must determine how serious the hazard
is and whether you must correct the problem before you work on the product.
Consider the following conditions and the safety hazards that they present:
Electrical hazards, especially primary power. Primary voltage on the frame can cause
serious or fatal electrical shock.
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor.
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware.
To inspect the product for potential unsafe conditions, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the power is off and the power cords are disconnected.
2. Make sure that the exterior cover is not damaged, loose, or broken, and observe any
sharp edges.
3. Check the power cords:
Make sure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a meter to
measure third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external
ground pin and the frame ground.
Make sure that the power cords are the correct type.
Make sure that the insulation is not frayed or worn.
Remove the cover.
4. Check for any obvious non-Lenovo alterations. Use good judgement as to the safety of
any non-Lenovo alterations.
5. Check inside the system for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal lings,
contamination, water or other liquid, or signs of re or smoke damage.
6. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
7. Make sure that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been
removed or tampered with.

Observe these guidelines when you service electrical equipment.
Check the area for electrical hazards such as moist ]oors, non-grounded power
extension cords, and missing safety grounds.
Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles that are
covered with a soft material that does not provide insulation from live electrical current.
Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.
Do not use worn or broken tools or testers.
Do not touch the re]ective surface of a dental mirror to a live electrical circuit. The
surface is conductive and can cause personal injury or equipment damage if it touches a
live electrical circuit.
Some rubber ]oor mats contain small conductive bres to decrease electrostatic
discharge. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous
voltages.
Locate the emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet
so that you can turn off the power quickly in the event of an electrical accident.
Disconnect all power before you perform a mechanical inspection, work near power
supplies, or remove or install main units.
Before you work on the equipment, disconnect the power cord. If you cannot disconnect
the power cord, have the customer power-off the wall box that supplies power to the
equipment and lock the wall box in the off position.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Check it to make sure
that it has been disconnected.
If you have to work on equipment that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the
following precautions:
Make sure that another person who is familiar with the power-off controls is near
you and is available to turn off the power if necessary.
When you work with powered-on electrical equipment, use only one hand. Keep
the other hand in your pocket or behind your back to avoid creating a complete
circuit that could cause an electrical shock.
When you use a tester, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe
leads and accessories for that tester.
Stand on a suitable rubber mat to insulate you from grounds such as metal ]oor
strips and equipment frames.
Use extreme care when you measure high voltages.
To ensure proper grounding of components such as power supplies, pumps, blowers,
fans, and motor generators, do not service these components outside of their normal
operating locations.
If an electrical accident occurs, use caution, turn off the power, and send another person

Each caution and danger statement in this documentation is labelled with a number. This
number is used to cross reference an English-language caution or danger statement with
translated versions of the caution or danger statement in the Safety Information document.
For example, if a danger statement is labelled D005, translations for that caution statement are
in the Safety Information document under D005.
Be sure to read all caution and danger statements in this documentation before you perform
the procedures. Read any additional safety information that comes with your system or
