Stratus ftServer 2500, 4400, and 6200 Systems: Site Planning Guide

(R609)

 

Typographical Conventions

The following typographical conventions are used in this document:

The bold font emphasizes words in text. For example: 

Before

 handling or replacing system components, make sure that you are 

properly grounded by using a grounded wrist strap. 

The italic font introduces new terms. For example:

Many hardware components are 

customer-replaceable units

 (CRUs), which 

can be replaced on-site by system administrators with minimal training or tools.
