Safety Agency Compliance
Read this section before beginning any procedure. The following
text provides safety precautions to follow when installing a Sun
Microsystems product.
Safety Precautions
For your protection, observe the following safety precautions when
setting up your equipment:
• Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match
the voltage and frequency inscribed on the equipment's electrical
rating label.
• Never push objects of any kind through openings in the
equipment. Dangerous voltages may be present. Conductive
foreign objects could produce a short circuit that could cause fire,
electric shock, or damage to your equipment.

Placement of a Sun Product
Caution – Do not block or cover the openings of your Sun
!
product. Never place a Sun product near a radiator or heat
register. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause
overheating and affect the reliability of your Sun product.
SELV Compliance
Safety status of I/O connections comply to SELV requirements.
Power Cord Connection
Caution – Sun products are designed to work with
single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral
conductor. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not plug
Sun products into any other type of power system. Contact
your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are
not sure what type of power is supplied to your building.
Caution – Not all power cords have the same current
ratings. Household extension cords do not have overload
protection and are not meant for use with computer systems.
Do not use household extension cords with your Sun
product.
Caution – Your Sun product is shipped with a grounding
type (three-wire) power cord. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, always plug the cord into a grounded power outlet.
The following caution applies only to devices with a Standby
power switch:
Caution – The power switch of this product functions as a
standby type device only. The power cord serves as the
primary disconnect device for the system. Be sure to plug
the power cord into a grounded power outlet that is nearby
the system and is readily accessible. Do not connect the
power cord when the power supply has been removed from
the system chassis.
Lithium Battery
Caution – On Sun CPU boards, there is a lithium battery
!
molded into the real-time clock, SDS No. MK48T59Y,
MK48TXXB-XX, MK48T18-XXXPCZ, or
M48T59W-XXXPCZ. Batteries are not customer replaceable
parts. They may explode if mistreated.
Do not dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble the
battery or attempt to recharge it.
