Read the following guidelines to help ensure your safety and protect the

•
The installation of your CSS must comply with national and local electrical
codes. In the United States, this means the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code. In Canada,
Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CC22.1. In other countries, International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through part 7.
•
Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other
items that could get caught in the chassis.
•
The AC-powered CSS ships with a three-wire AC electrical grounding-type
plug, which only fits into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. Ensure the equipment grounding is in compliance with local and
national electrical codes.
