Cautions and Warnings
Cautions indicate that there is the possibility of poor equipment performance or potential damage to the
equipment. Warnings indicate that there is the possibility of injury to person. Cautions and Warnings
appear here and may appear throughout this manual where appropriate. Failure to read and understand
the information identified by this symbol could result in poor equipment performance, damage to the
equipment, or injury to persons.
Cautions
Caution
: Do not ship or store devices near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive
fields.
Caution
: When handling chassis Network Interface Devices (NIDs) observe electrostatic discharge pre-
cautions. This requires proper grounding; i.e., wear a wrist strap.
Caution
: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485,
DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intra-building (inside plant) link segments
that are not subject to lightening transients or power faults. They are not to be connected to inter-building
(outside plant) link segments that are subject to lightening.
Caution
: Do not install the NIDs in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF) exist. Failure to ob-
serve this caution could result in poor NID performance.
Caution
: Read the installation instructions before connecting the chassis to a power source. Failure to
observe this caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution
: Only trained and qualified personnel should install or perform maintenance on the ION210-A
chassis. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment
.
Warnings
Warning
: Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning
: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam or view the beam
directly with optical instruments. Failure to observe this warning could result in an eye injury or blindness.
Warning
: DO NOT connect the power supply module to external power before installing it into the chas-
sis. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
Warning
: Select mounting bracket locations on the chassis that will keep the chassis balanced when
mounted in the rack. Failure to observe this warning could allow the chassis to fall, resulting in equipment
damage and/or possible injury to persons.
Warning
: Do not work on the chassis, connect, or disconnect cables during a storm with lightning. Failure
to observe this warning could result in an electrical shock or death.
