Chapter 2      Preparing to Install the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine

  Safety Guidelines

  –

The product has been dropped or damaged.

  –

The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating 
instructions.

  •

Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, 
do not block cooling vents.

  •

Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate 
the product in a wet environment. 

  •

Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing 
so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

  •

Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment. 

  •

Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal 
components.

  •

Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type 
of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure 
of the type of power source required, consult your service representative or 
local power company.

  •

Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power 
cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your 
system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The 
power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current 
marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current 
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product. 

  •

To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral 
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are 
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use 
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.

  •

Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all 
products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the power 
strip ampere ratings limit.

  •

Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with 
your product.

  •

To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and 
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or 
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
