1 Precautions

FileStore N8300 Clustered NAS Storage System

Hardware Installation Guide

A-4 Symantec Corporation Issue 01 (2009-12-15)

Large Creepage Current

The devices must be grounded before the power supply is switched on. Otherwise, the safety

of operators and devices may be impaired.

If a "Large Creepage Current" label is affixed beside the power supply terminal, the protection

grounding terminal on the device shell must be grounded before connecting to an AC input

power supply to avoid the electric shock on the human body caused by the creepage current of

the device.

Power Cable

Installation and removal of live cables are prohibited. Transient contact between the core of

the power cable and the conductor may generate electric arc or spark, which may cause fire

accidents or eye injuries.

z

Before installing or removing the power cables, turn off the power switch.

z

Before connecting the power cables, confirm that the labels and marks on the power

cables comply with the requirements of the actual installation.

Fuse

For the safe device running, replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and

components on the circuit board such as the large-scale integrated circuit (LIC).

z

In the following situations, the human body will generate a static electromagnetic field:

human body moving, clothes friction, friction between shoes and the ground, or holding

ordinary plastic in hand. The static electromagnetic field will remain within the human

body for a long time.

FileStore N8300 Clustered NAS Storage System

Hardware Installation Guide 1 Precautions

Issue 01 (2009-12-15) Symantec Corporation A-5

z

Before touching the device, or hand-holding circuit boards or ASICs, wear a grounded

electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap. It can prevent the sensitive

components from being damaged by the static electricity in the human body.

1.3 Laser

This section describes the safety precautions against the laser.

When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to, or look into the optical fiber outlet

directly with unaided eyes.

Laser transceivers and transmitters are used in the optical transmission system and related test

tools. The optical fiber or the connector transmits the laser that has a very high power density

and is invisible to human. The retina may be damaged if you look into the laser outlet with

unaided eyes.

Viewing a naked optical fiber end or damaged optical fiber with unaided eyes at a distance

greater than 150 mm will not cause eye injuries. However, damage may occur if an optical

tool such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to view the energized

optical fiber end.

Laser Safety Guidelines

Read the following guidelines to avoid laser radiation:

z

All the operations should be performed by the authorized personnel who have completed

the approved trainings.

z

Wear a pair of goggles when you are handling lasers or fibers.

z

Ensure that the optical source is switched off before disconnecting optical fiber

connectors.

z

Do not look into the end of a naked optical fiber or an open connector when you are not

sure whether the optical source is switched off or not.

z

Ensure that the optical source is switched off by measuring the optical power with an

optical power meter.

z

Before opening the front door of an optical transmission system, ensure that you are not

exposed to laser radiation.

z

Do not use an optical tool such as a microscope, a magnifying glass, or an eye loupe to

observe the optical connector or the optical fiber end.

Handling Optical Fibers

Obey the following requirements when handling fibers.

z

Cutting and splicing optical fibers must be performed by the trained personnel only.

z

Before cutting or splicing an optical fiber, ensure the optical fiber is disconnected from

the optical source. After disconnecting the optical fiber, protect all the optical connectors

by using optical fiber caps.
