Power Supply Disconnection Warning
Warning Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units. Statement 12
Jewelry Removal Warning
Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to a power source, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat when connected to power and ground, and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals. Statement 43
Wrist Strap Warning
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could receive a shock. Statement 94
Work During Lightning Warning
Warning Do not work on the system, or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning. Statement 1001
Installation Instructions Warning
Warning Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to a power source. Statement 1004
Chassis Warning for Rack-Mounting and Servicing
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006
Short-Circuit Protection Warning
Warning This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations. Statement 1045
SELV Circuit Warning
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Ground Conductor Warning
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor, or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or an electrician if you are not certain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Faceplates and Cover Panels Warning
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they restrict electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statements 1029 and 142
Product Disposal Warning
Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations. Statement 1040
Compliance with Local and National Electrical Codes Warning
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Grounded Equipment Warning
Warning This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use. Statement 39
Safety Cover Requirement
Warning The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards. Statement 117
