Disconnect all power cords before working near power supplies unless otherwise instructed by a
maintenance procedure.
Do not attempt to lift objects that you think are too heavy for you.
When installing in rack, caution should be taken to load heavier devices in lowest portions of rack to
avoid a top-heavy hazard.
High voltages capable of causing shock are used in this equipment. Check the nominal voltage set
for the equipment as indicated within operating instructions and type plate.
Be extremely careful when measuring high voltages and when servicing cards, panels, and boards
while the system is powered on.
Only use tools and equipment that are in perfect condition. Do not use equipment with visible
damage.
Protecting electrostatically sensitive devices (ESD): To protect electrostatically sensitive devices (ESD)
