CHAPTER
THREE
PRECAUTIONS FOR PRODUCT USE
This section discusses considerations you must take before installing and using Avere FXT Edge Filer nodes.
3.1 Unpacking and Handling FXT Series Equipment
To prevent damage to the Avere FXT Edge Filer or components, carefully unpack and handle the FXT Series node
and related components.
Inspect the boxes the node or component was shipped in and note whether there is any damage. If the shipment
shows evidence of damage, file a damage claim with the carrier that delivered it.
3.1.1 No User-Serviceable Parts
There are no user-serviceable parts in an FXT 5000 Series node. All servicing of FXT 5000 Series
nodes must be performed by trained personnel. Refer to the
FXT 5000 Series Field Service Guide
(http://library.averesystems.com/#service) for more information.
3.1.2 Restricted Access
The FXT 5000 Series nodes must be installed in a restricted-access location. A restricted-access location is defined
as a location that can be accessed only by use of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security and is controlled by
the authority responsible for the location.
Anyone entering the restricted-access location, or installing or replacing modules in an FXT 5000 Series node, must
be trained in the potential hazards associated with the FXT 5000 Series node, including but not limited to exposure to
hazardous energy levels when the cover is removed, when modules have been removed, or when modules are being
replaced.
3.1.3 Preventing Condensation
Condensation can occur when exposing a colder product to a warmer and/or more humid environment.
