General environmental guidelines
The 2000/4000 Series platform is an industrial network appliance that is designed to be mounted in a standard
19-inch EIA rack. Follow these guidelines to adhere to safety precautions:
• Install the rack according to the manufacturer's instructions and check the rack for stability before placing
equipment in it.
• Build and position the rack so that after you install the platform, the power supply and the vents on both
the front and back of the unit remain unobstructed. The platform must have adequate ventilation around
the unit at all times.
• Do not allow the air temperature in the room to exceed 104°F (40°C).
• Do not plug the unit into a branch circuit shared by more electronic equipment than the circuit is designed
to manage safely at one time.
Important: This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). F5 Networks recommends
that you use proper ESD grounding procedures and equipment when you install or maintain the
unit.
Caution: Customers should not attempt to replace batteries. There is a risk of explosion if a battery
is replaced with an incorrect type. Field technicians should dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions.
Attention: Il y a risque d'explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect.
Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.
