levels and are familiar with weight and stability precautions for rack installations. 

 

 

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous 
energy levels, only authorized service technicians should attempt to repair this 
equipment. Improper repairs can create conditions that are hazardous. 

 

 

WARNING:   To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:   

• 

Disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cords from the power 
supplies. 

•
