Cautions and Warnings
Definitions
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
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 precautions. 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 observe 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
x6010
. Failure to
observe this caution could result in poor performance or damage to the equipment.
Caution
: Do not let optical fibers come into physical contact with any bare part of the body since they are fragile,
and difficult to detect and remove from the body.
Caution
: Do not bend any part of an optical fiber/cable to a diameter that is smaller than the minimum permitted
according to the manufacturer’s specification (usually about 65 mm or 2.5 in)!
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
look 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 chassis. 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.

Appendix A
for Electrical Safety Warnings translated into multiple languages.
