Electrical safety and installation 

Read this manual carefully and observe the safety instructions before

installing and using the equipment described.

By doing this, you will be aware of the potential hazards and be able to work

safely, ensuring your own protection and also that of the equipment.

WHEN INSTALLING A VM600 RACK, OBSERVE ALL SAFETY (WARNING AND CAUTION)

STATEMENTS IN THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL

CODES.

ONLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL (SUCH AS A QUALIFIED/LICENSED

ELECTRICIAN) SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL OR REPLACE THIS EQUIPMENT.

CHECK NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES, REGULATIONS AND DIRECTIVES

BEFORE WIRING.

A VM600 RACK MUST BE DIRECTLY AND PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO PROTECTIVE

EARTH (PE) USING THE EARTH CONDUCTOR OF THE EXTERNAL MAINS POWER SUPPLY

LEAD (POWER CORD), IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

SELECT CABLE WIRE SIZES AND CONNECTORS (CURRENT-CARRYING CAPACITY),

INCLUDING THE EXTERNAL MAINS POWER SUPPLY LEAD (POWER CORD), TO MEET THE

REQUIREMENTS OF THE APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE

NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

CHECKS TO ENSURE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT

PERSON.

DEFLECTION PLATES (BARRIERS) MUST BE INSTALLED ABOVE AND BELOW A VM600

RACK IN ORDER TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND IN THE CASE

OF THE BARRIER INSTALLED BELOW A VM600, IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT THE

SPREAD OF FIRE TOO.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY,

AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

Hazardous voltages and the risk of electric shock 

Hot surfaces and the risk of burning 

Heavy objects and the risk of injury

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN A VM600 RACK.

WHEN A CARD, PANEL OR POWER SUPPLY IS REMOVED FROM A VM600 RACK, THE

RACK BACKPLANE – CONTAINING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES – IS EXPOSED AND THERE

IS THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING

WARNING LABEL ON THE EQUIPMENT:

REGARD ANY EXPOSED COMPONENT, CONNECTOR OR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)

AS A POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD AND DO NOT TOUCH WHEN ENERGISED.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY,

AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

HOT SURFACES CAN EXIST WITHIN AND ON A VM600 RACK.

DEPENDING ON THE AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND POWER CONSUMPTION,

AND THE INSTALLATION AND COOLING OF A VM600 RACK, THE TOP OF THE RACK CAN

BECOME HOT TO TOUCH AND THERE IS THE RISK OF BURNING WHEN HANDLING THE

RACK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON THE

EQUIPMENT:

REGARD THE TOP OF A VM600 RACK AS A HOT SURFACE AND DO NOT TOUCH

UNLESS COOL.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY.

A POPULATED VM600 SYSTEM RACK WITH CARDS AND RACK POWER SUPPLIES

INSTALLED IS A HEAVY OBJECT.

DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF VM600 CARDS AND RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLIES

INSTALLED, A VM600 SYSTEM RACK (ABE04x) CAN BE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT, LOWER

OR OTHERWISE HANDLE MANUALLY AND THERE IS THE RISK OF INJURY DURING

INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL.

REGARD A POPULATED VM600 SYSTEM RACK AS A HEAVY OBJECT AND DO NOT

HANDLE MANUALLY UNTIL ANY RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLIES (AND VM600 CARDS

AS NECESSARY) HAVE BEEN REMOVED IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE WEIGHT, AS THESE

ARE THE HEAVIEST SYSTEM COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE EASILY REMOVED.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY.

Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices

Certain devices used in electronic equipment can be damaged by electrostatic discharges

resulting from built-up static electricity. Because of this, special precautions must be taken to

minimise or eliminate the possibility of these electrostatic discharges occurring.

• Before handling electronic circuits, discharge the static electricity from your body by

touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object (such as a pipe or cabinet).

• Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing

material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton

blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.

• Do not handle electronic circuits unless it is absolutely necessary. Only hold cards by

their handles or panels.

• Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive

devices or with your hands.

• Put the electronic circuit, printed circuit board or module containing electronic

components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it from a VM600

rack.

Use only approved replacement parts and accessories.

Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.

Only use replacement parts and accessories intended for use with

VM600 racks that have been approved by Meggitt SA.

Using incompatible replacement parts and accessories could be
