Safety Notes
Please read and make sure you understand the warnings and cautions described below to use the product safely. Please refer to "Safety Symbols" at the beginning for an explanation on the symbols.
Do not use this product for services where critical high availability may directly affect human lives. This product is not intended to be used with or control facilities or devices concerning human lives, including medical devices, nuclear facilities and devices, aeronautics and space devices, transportation facilities and devices; and facilities and devices requiring high reliability. NEC assumes no liability for any accident resulting in personal injury, death, or property damage if this product has been used in the above conditions.
Do not disassemble, repair, or alter this product. Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or alter this product on any occasion other than described in this guide. Failure to follow this instruction may cause an electric shock or fire as well as malfunctions of this product.
Do not handle this product during an electrical storm. When installing this product in the computer, please read the user's guide of the computer and unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet. Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands. Doing so can lead to faults or electric shock. Do not pull on the lead when unplugging the power plug from the electrical outlet. Doing so can damage the power cord and lead to shorting or electric shock.
Do not use this product if any smoke, odor, or noise is present. If smoke, odor, or noise is present, immediately turn off the POWER/SLEEP switch and disconnect the power plug from the outlet, then contact your sales agent. Using this product in such conditions may cause a fire.
Do not pull the cable when disconnecting it. When disconnecting the cable from the device, hold the cable connector/cable tag and pull it straight out. Pulling the cable out by the cable portion or giving mechanical stress to the connector could damage the cables and connectors to result in an electrical shock hazard or a fire.
<Continued on next page.>
Avoid installation in extreme temperature conditions. Immediately after the computer is powered off, its internal components such as hard disks are very hot. Leave the computer until its internal components fully cool down before installing/removing any component.
Connect firmly. Please connect the product to the computer firmly. A loose connection can cause a contact failure and can lead to smoke or fire.
Insert the power plug into the outlet as far as it goes. Heat generation resulting from a halfway inserted power plug/cable (imperfect contact) may cause a fire. Heat will also be generated if condensation is formed on dusty blades of the halfway inserted plug, increasing the possibility of fire.
Do not hold the power plug with a wet hand. Do not disconnect/connect the plug while your hands are wet. Failure to follow this warning may cause an electric shock.
Do not use any unauthorized interface cable. Use only the interface cable that comes with this product. Use of an unauthorized interface cable may cause a fire when the electric current exceeds the rated flow. Also, observe the following to prevent an electric shock or fire caused by a damaged cord.
Do not use any damaged cable. (Replace a damaged cable with a new one of the same specifications. Ask your sales agent for replacement.)
Do not step the cable. Do not place any object on the cable. Do not alter, modify, or repair the cable.
When disconnecting a cable, push the latch, hold the connector, and pull it out straight. Use only the SAS/SATA cable authorized by NEC and connects it to the proper connector. Ignoring these instructions may cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire, electric shock, or malfunction.
Do not use or store this product in corrosive environment. Avoid the usage or storage of this product in an environment which may be exposed to corrosive gases, such as those including but not limited to: sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, ammonia and/or ozone. Avoid installing this product in a dusty environment or one that may be exposed to corrosive materials such as sodium chloride and/or sulfur. Avoid installing this product in an environment which may have excessive metal flakes or conductive particles in the air. Such environments may cause corrosion or short circuits within this product, resulting in not only damage to this product, but may even lead to be a fire hazard. If there are any concerns regarding the environment at the planned site of installation or storage, please contact your sales agent

To avoid electric hazard and malfunction, be sure to turn off the Power switch of this product and unplug
the power cord from an outlet before carrying out the work. However, there is no need to do this if the internal optional device is hot-swappable.
This internal optional device consists of static-sensitive electronic components. To avoid failures caused
by static electricity when installing or uninstalling the internal optional device, wear an anti-static wrist strap on your wrist and provide earthing before carrying out the work. And also connect a wrist strap to earth ground when you wear a wrist strap.
Handling of cables
When connecting a cable (e.g., LAN cable), static electricity may also be charged due to friction against the floor. Connecting a charged cable with an I/O device may cause damage to the devices. It is recommended to discharge static electricity before connecting a cable by using neutralization apparatus and so on.
If you feel difficult to install this product in PCI slot of the server, remove it once, then install it again.
Applying excess force may damage the board.
