Warning!
Risk of exposure to laser radiation
Do not disassemble or remove any part of a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver
because you might be exposed to laser radiation.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
The battery can weigh up to 10.9 kg (24 lb). When you remove the battery, be prepared to
support its weight. If the battery is dropped, the impact might cause bodily injury, including
deep puncture wounds caused by the battery pins.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
If the bottom half of the cabinet is empty, do not install components in the top half of the
cabinet. If the top half of the cabinet is too heavy for the bottom half, the cabinet might fall
and cause bodily injury. Always install a component in the lowest available position in the
cabinet.

Only move a populated cabinet with a forklift or adequate help from other persons. Always
push the cabinet from the front to prevent it from falling over.
A fully populated cabinet can weigh more than 909 kg (2000 lb). The cabinet is difficult to
move, even on a flat surface. If you must move the cabinet along an inclined surface, remove
the components from the top half of the cabinet, and make sure that you have adequate help.
Warning!
Risk of fire or chemical burn
Before disposing of a used battery, review the battery warning label. The label reads: The
battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. DO NOT
disassemble, heat above 60ºC (140ºF), crush or puncture, short circuit external contacts, or
dispose of in fire or water. Use appropriate charger only. Replace only with original batteries.
Risk of bodily injury
Only move a populated cabinet with a forklift or adequate help from other persons. Attach
the stability foot before moving the cabinet. If you do not attach the stability foot, the cabinet
might become unstable, or it might fall. Always push the cabinet from the front to prevent it
from falling over.
A fully populated cabinet can weigh more than 636 kg (1420 lb). The cabinet is difficult to
move, even on a flat surface. If you must move the cabinet along an inclined surface, remove
the components from the top half of the cabinet, and make sure that you have adequate help.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
A qualified service person is required to make the DC power connection according to NEC
and CEC guidelines.
Warning!
Risk of bodily injury
An empty tray weighs approximately 56.7 kg (125 lb). Three persons are required to safely
move an empty tray. If the tray is populated with components, a mechanized lift is required to
safely move the tray.
Warning!
