Safety Summaries
Cautions
The following caution statements identify conditions or practices that can result in
damage to equipment or other property
Use correct power source — Do not operate this product from a power source that
applies more than the voltage specified for the product.
Use correct voltage setting — If this product lacks auto-ranging power supplies,
before applying power ensure that the each power supply is set to match the power
source.
Provide proper ventilation — To prevent product overheating, provide equipment
ventilation in accordance with installation instructions.
Use anti-static procedures — Static sensitive components are present which may be
damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use anti-static procedures, equipment and
surfaces during servicing.
Do not operate with suspected equipment failure — If you suspec t pro duct damage or
equipment failure, have the equipment inspected by qualified service personnel.
Ensure mains disconnect — If mains switch is not provided, the power cord(s) of this
equipment provide the means of disconnection. The socket outlet must be installed
near the equipment and must be easily accessible. Verify that all mains power is
disconnected before installing or removing power supplies and/or options.
Route cable properly — Route powe r cords and other cabl es so tha t they ar not likel y
to be damaged. Properly support heavy cable bundles to avoid connector damage.
Use correct power supply co rds — P ower cord s fo r this equipmen t, i f provi ded, me et
all North American electrical codes. Operation of this equipment at voltages
exceeding 130 VAC requires power supply cords which comply with NEMA
configurations. International power cords, if provided, have the approval of the
country of use.
Use correct replacemen t batter y — This pr oduct may conta in bat teri es. To r educe t he
risk of explosion, check polarity and replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instr uctions.
Troubleshoot only to board level — Circuit boards in this product are densely
populated with surfac e mount technology (SMT) components and application specific
integrated circuits (ASICS). As a result, circuit board repair at the component level is
very difficult in the field, if not impossible. For warranty compliance, do not
troubleshoot systems beyond the board level.
