ABSTRACT
Personnel safety is the responsibility of the facility manager. Proper life safety procedures and equipment must be installed. Safety-related hardware includes the following:
• Emergency power off (EPO) button. EPO pushbuttons are required by safety code for various types of facilities, including data processing (DP) centers. One must be located at each principal exit from the room. Other EPO buttons may be located near operator workstations. The EPO system, intended only for emergencies, disconnects all power to the room, except for lighting.
