Caution notices for the uninterruptible power supply

Ensure that you understand the caution notices for the uninterruptible power supply.

Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice, such as (C003) for example, to find the matching translated notice in IBM Systems Safety Notices.

CAUTION:
Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of electrical burn from high, short-circuit current. Avoid battery contact with metal materials; remove watches, rings, or other metal objects, and use tools with insulated handles. To avoid possible explosion, do not burn.

Exchange only with the IBM-approved part. Recycle or discard the battery as instructed by local regulations. In the United States, IBM has a process for the collection of this battery. For information, call 1-800-426-4333. Have the IBM part number for the battery unit available when you call. (C004)

CAUTION:
This part or unit is heavy but has a weight smaller than 18 kg (39.7 lb). Use care when lifting, removing, or installing this part or unit. (C008)
CAUTION:
Two graphics show 3 persons carrying a heavy box; one graphic shows an icon with text warning that weight i s more than 32 kg (70.5 lb)
The weight of this part or unit is between 32 and 55 kg (70.5 and 121.2 lb). It takes three persons to safely lift this part or unit. (C010)
CAUTION:
The uninterruptible power supply contains its own energy source (sealed, lead-acid batteries). The output receptacles might carry live voltage, even when the uninterruptible power supply is not connected to an ac supply. (11)
CAUTION:
Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the uninterruptible power supply is turned on. Unplugging the input cord removes the safety ground from the uninterruptible power supply and the equipment connected to the uninterruptible power supply. (12)
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the uninterruptible power supply in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% maximum). (13)
