4 LCM Installer and User GuideSafety PrecautionsTo avoid potential video and/or keyboard problems when using IBM products:• If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitorare on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.• Use only IBM-supplied cable to connect computers and KVM switches. IBMwarranties do not apply to damage resulting from user-supplied cable.To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment,please observe the following precautions:• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any IBM product configuration.• Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. Whenusing a backup uninterruptible power supply, power the computer, themonitor and the LCM off the supply.NOTE: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.Rack mount safety considerations• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, theoperation temperature of the rack environment may be greater than roomambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperatureof the unit.• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be suchthat the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment isnot compromised.• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be suchthat a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection ofthe equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading ofcircuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Considerequipment nameplate ratings for maximum current.• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should bemaintained. Pay particular attention to supply connections other thandirect connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
