Ground the equipment
To minimize shock hazard, the equipment switch must be connected to an electrical

cables meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
Keep away from live circuits
Operating personnel must not remove modules or otherwise tamper with the
equipment switch or related components. Component replacement and internal
adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace
components with the power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect
power and discharge circuits before removing equipment shelves or making major
modifications.
