DANGER:
The OC-3c Single Mode (SM) and the STM-1 Single Mode (SM) modules
contain a laser-generating device, which emits a laser light beam from
the transmit port. This port is labeled TX on the module faceplate. When
the module is inserted into an operational PSAX 20 chassis, personal
injury may result from looking into, or near, either port. Personal injury
may also result from looking into, or near, the far end of a connected
fiber optic cable. For additional laser safety information, see Appendix B
of the
OC-3c Multi-Mode and Single-Mode Module Guide
, the
OC-3c
Multi-Mode and Single-Mode 1+1 APS Module Guide
, the
STM-1 Multi-
Mode and Single-Mode Module Guide
, and the
STM-1 Multi-Mode and
Single-Mode 1+1 MSP Module Guide
.
!
DANGER:
Read all installation instructions before connecting the system to a
power source.
!
DANGER:
Do not work on the system, connect, or disconnect cables during periods
of possible lightning activity.
!
DANGER:
Do not perform any action that could create a possible hazard to others
or make the working environment and/or the equipment unsafe.
WARNING:
!
Be sure to cover all empty slots with blank faceplates to protect your
equipment.
WARNING:
!
This product relies on the building’s installation of short-circuit (over-
current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than
120 V ac, 15 A U.S. (240 V ac, 10 A international) is used on the phase
conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
WARNING:
!
Once the PSAX 20 chassis is operational (power is applied to the chassis)
and the OC-3c SM or STM-1 SM module is fully inserted into the chassis
backplane, use extreme caution during removal of the fiber optic cable
from one or both ports. Keep the protective port caps supplied with
these two types of modules nearby (for example, taped to the cable for
the port), and place said cap on the port immediately after removing the
cable from an operational module.
WARNING:
!
If you place the PSAX 20 chassis on or near the floor, dust or debris may
accumulate faster inside the chassis than it would if placed on a table or
standing structure. Therefore, if this unit is placed on or near the floor,
accelerated routine vent and air filter inspection is necessary to avoid the
risk of unit failure and/or injury to property or persons.
