Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install,
replace, or service this equipment.
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior,
locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are
working.
Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always
check.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or
makes the equipment unsafe.
Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist
floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
To prevent the MCU from overheating, do not operate it in an area that
exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 113°F
(45°C).

A fully configured SCOPIA Elite MCU chassis weighs approximately 44lbs.
(20kg.). The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install
the MCU, ensure that your site is properly prepared, so you can avoid having to
move the chassis later to accommodate for power sources and network
connections.
Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:
Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the
chassis.
Do not attempt to lift the chassis by yourself; have someone assist you.
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object
between your feet.
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you
lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you
must bend down to lift the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to
reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.
Lift the chassis from the bottom. Grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with
both hands.
