Safety symbols and terms

 

The following symbols and terms may be found on the multiplexer card or used in this 

manual.

The

symbol indicates that the user should refer to the operating instructions located in 

the manual.

The

 

 symbol

 

 shows that high voltage may be present on the terminal(s). Use standard 

safety precautions to avoid personal contact with these voltages.

The 

 

WARNING

 

 heading used in this manual explains dangers that might result in personal 

injury or death. Always read the associated information very carefully before performing the 
indicated procedure.

The 

 

CAUTION

 

 heading used in this manual explains hazards that could damage the multi-

plexer card. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.

 

Specifications

 

Full Model 7999-2 specifications are included at the front of this manual.

 

Unpacking and Inspection

 

Inspection for damage

 

The Model 7999-2 is packaged in a re-sealable, anti-static bag to protect it from damage due 

to static discharge and from contamination that could degrade its performance. Before remov-
ing the card from the bag, observe the precautions on handling discussed below.

 

Handling precautions

 

Always grasp the card by the covers. Do not touch board surfaces or components.

After removing the card from its anti-static bag, inspect it for any obvious signs of 
physical damage. Report any such damage to the shipping agent immediately.

When the card is not installed and connected, keep the card in its anti-static bag, and 
store it in the original packing carton.
