When selecting the installation site, comply with the following:
Protective Ground - The protective ground lead of the building’s electrical installation
should comply with national and local requirements.
Environmental Condition – The installation site should be dry, clean, and ventilated. Do
not use this equipment where it could be at risk of contact with water. Ensure that this
equipment is operated in an environment that meets the requirements as stated in this
equipment’s technical specifications, which may be found on this equipment’s data sheet.
Installation Requirements
WARNING:
Allow only qualified service personnel to install this equipment. The installation must
conform to all local codes and regulations.
Equipment Placement
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment. An unstable mounting surface
may cause this equipment to fall.
To protect against equipment damage or injury to personnel, comply with the following:
Install this equipment in a restricted access location.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Place this equipment close enough to a mains AC outlet to accommodate the length of this
equipment’s power cord.
Route all power cords so that people cannot walk on, place objects on, or lean objects
against them. This may pinch or damage the power cords. Pay particular attention to
power cords at plugs, outlets, and the points where the power cords exit this equipment.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with this equipment.
Make sure the mounting surface or rack is stable and can support the size and weight of
this equipment.
The mounting surface or rack should be appropriately anchored according to
manufacturer’s specifications. Ensure this equipment is securely fastened to the mounting
surface or rack where necessary to protect against damage due to any disturbance and
subsequent fall.

Important Safety Instructions, Continued
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment! Move any
equipment and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause this equipment and cart to
overturn.
Rack Mounting Safety Precautions
Mechanical Loading
Make sure that the rack is placed on a stable surface. If the rack has stabilizing devices, install
these stabilizing devices before mounting any equipment in the rack.
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment. Mounting this equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not caused due to uneven mechanical
loading.
Reduced Airflow
When mounting this equipment in the rack, do not obstruct the cooling airflow through the
rack. Be sure to mount the blanking plates to cover unused rack space. Additional
components such as combiners and net strips should be mounted at the back of the rack, so
that the free airflow is not restricted.
CAUTION:
Installation of this equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of this equipment is not compromised.
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
Only install this equipment in a humidity- and temperature-controlled environment that
meets the requirements given in this equipment’s technical specifications.
CAUTION:
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
install this equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum
rated ambient temperature.
Handling Precautions
When moving a cart that contains this equipment, check for any of the following possible
hazards:
Use caution when moving this equipment/cart combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Continued on next page
viii 4038501 Rev C
Important Safety Instructions, Continued
If the cart does not move easily, this condition may indicate obstructions or cables that may
need to be disconnected before moving this equipment to another location.
Avoid quick stops and starts when moving the cart.
Check for uneven floor surfaces such as cracks or cables and cords.
Grounding
This section provides instructions for verifying that the equipment is properly grounded.
Safety Plugs (USA Only)
This equipment is equipped with either a 3-terminal (grounding-type) safety plug or a 2terminal (polarized) safety plug. The wide blade or the third terminal is provided for safety.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type or polarized safety plug.
To properly ground this equipment, follow these safety guidelines:
Grounding-Type Plug - For a 3-terminal plug (one terminal on this plug is a protective
grounding pin), insert the plug into a grounded mains, 3-terminal outlet.
Note: This plug fits only one way. If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 3-terminal outlet.
Polarized Plug - For a 2-terminal plug (a polarized plug with one wide blade and one
narrow blade), insert the plug into a polarized mains, 2-terminal outlet in which one socket
is wider than the other.
Note: If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 2-terminal outlet.
Grounding Terminal
If this equipment is equipped with an external grounding terminal, attach one end of an 18gauge wire (or larger) to the grounding terminal; then, attach the other end of the wire to a
ground, such as a grounded equipment rack.
Safety Plugs (European Union)
Class I Mains Powered Equipment – Provided with a 3-terminal AC inlet and requires
connection to a 3-terminal mains supply outlet via a 3-terminal power cord for proper
connection to the protective ground.
Note: The equipotential bonding terminal provided on some equipment is not designed to
function as a protective ground connection.
Class II Mains Powered Equipment – Provided with a 2-terminal AC inlet that may be
connected by a 2-terminal power cord to the mains supply outlet. No connection to the
protective ground is required as this class of equipment is provided with double or
reinforced and/or supplementary insulation in addition to the basic insulation provided in
Class I equipment.
Note: Class II equipment, which is subject to EN 50083-1, is provided with a chassis
mounted equipotential bonding terminal. See the section titled Equipotential Bonding for
connection instructions.
