Safety Precautions
Be sure that you follow all safety precautions when
you diagnose system problems.
WARNINGS: Hazardous energy exists within the
CoreBuilder 3500 system. Always be careful to avoid
electric shock or equipment damage. Many
installation and troubleshooting procedures should be
performed only by trained technical personnel.
When the system is on, never insert a metal object
such as a screwdriver or a finger with jewelry into
open module slots or into the system backplane.
When the system is on, do not touch any connections
within the chassis with your hands or fingers.
When removing or replacing the system processor,
modules, fan trays, and power supplies, observe all
electrostatic precautions. Before handling the system
processor or modules, always wear an ESD wrist strap
that makes good skin contact and is connected to a
proper ground.
