General Safety Cautions
● 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)
always wear a wristband before carrying out any work on PC boards and modules. Transport PC
boards only in electrostatic packaging. Always place PC boards on a grounded surface before
working on them.
● Laying cables: Lay cables so as to prevent any risk of them being damaged or causing accidents,
such as tripping.
