Messages

Messages are special text that are emphasized by font, format, and icons. There are four types of messages in this book:

•Warning

•Caution

•Note

•Tip

A description of each message type with an example message follows.

Warning

Warnings tell you how to avoid physical injury to people or equipment. For people, injury includes anything from temporary conditions, such as pain, to irreversible conditions such as death. For equipment, injury means anything requiring repair. Warnings tell you what you should or should not do, and the consequences of not heeding the warning.

X-Series Hardware Installation and Safety Guide V 2.5 xi

About This Guide

Warnings have an icon to the left showing a white lightning bolt drawn inside of a red octagon. Warnings also start with the word “WARNING”, and are presented in bold face type.

WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment. Disconnect the system before servicing.

Caution

Cautions tell you how to avoid a ser ious loss that stops short of physical damage such as the loss of data, time, or security. Cautions tell you what you should or should not do to avoid such losses, and the consequences of not heeding the caution.

Cautions have an icon to the left showing a black exclamation point drawn inside of a yellow triangle. Cautions also start with the word “CAUTION”.

CAUTION: Do not type del *.* from the root (C:\) directory. Typing del *.* from the root directory will destroy all the program and configuration data that your computer needs to run, and will render your system inoperable.

Note

Notes tell you about information that might not be obvious, or that does not relate directly to the current topic, but that may affect relevant behavior.

A note has an icon to the left showing a piece of note paper, and starts with the word “Note”.

Note: Most car rental companies no longer allow cash deposits in lieu of a credit card when renting a car. Non-credit card deposits can only be arranged by a lengthy application and approval process.

Tip

Tips are suggestions about how you can perform a task more easily or more efficiently.

A tip has an icon to the left showing a light bulb drawn inside and starts with the word “Tip”.

Tip: Setting the logging parameter to “off” or “minimal” will improve your system’s processing performance, but it will make debugging very difficult in the event of a system crash. During system integration, you can set logging to “full” to ease debugging. After you have finished testing, set logging to “minimal” to improve performance.
