• Keep the work area clear, smoke and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris
to enter into any laser-based components.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the router or other associated
components.
• Cisco equipment operates safely when used in accordance with its specifications and product-usage
instructions.
• Be sure to power down a fixed configuration PDU or modular configuration power shelf before removing
it from the chassis.
• If potentially hazardous conditions exist, do not work alone.
• Take care when connecting multiple units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.
• 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 uncertain about whether suitable grounding is available.
• When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to
support the weight of the unit.
• Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing.
• The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide
out the unit for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack may cause the rack to tip over.
