DANGER
This warning symbol indicates danger. You are in a situation
that could cause physical injury. Before you work on any
equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical
circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for
preventing accidents.
DANGER: This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A
restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock
and key, or other means of security.
DANGER: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install,
replace, or service this equipment.
DANGER: A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Switch
Note: Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the
lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight
and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and
components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power
supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the
chassis. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
CAUTION: When handling switch components, wear an ESD strap and handle
modules by the carrier edges only. An ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For
the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be grounded either through the
power cable, the chassis ground, or metal-to-metal contact with a grounded rack.
