10.1 Safety notes
The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated
instrumentation.
This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar
with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read and follow all installation, operation,
and maintenance information carefully before using the product.
If this product is not used as specified, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired.
This product must be used in a normal condition (in which all means for protection are intact) only.
The types of product users are:
Responsible body
is the individual or group responsible for the use and maintenance of
equipment, for ensuring that the equipment is operated within its specifications and operating
limits, and for ensuring operators are adequately trained.
Operators
use the product for its intended function. They must be trained in electrical safety
procedures and proper use of the module. They must be protected from electric shock and
contact with hazardous live circuits.
Service personnel
are trained to work on live circuits, perform safe installations, and repair
products. Only properly trained service personnel may perform installation and service
procedures.
Operator is responsible to maintain safe operating conditions. To ensure safe operating
conditions, modules should not be operated beyond the full temperature range specified in
the datasheet. Exceeding safe operating conditions can result in shorter lifespans, improper
module performance and user safety issues. When the modules are in use and operation
within the specified full temperature range is not maintained, module surface temperatures
may exceed safe handling conditions which can cause discomfort or burns if touched. In the
event of a module exceeding the full temperature range, always allow the module to cool
before touching or removing modules from host computer or chassis.
Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal voltage may be present on cable
connector jacks or test fixtures. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock
hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30 V RMS, 42.4 V peak, or 60 V DC are present. A
good safety practice is to expect that hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit before
measuring.
Operators of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible body
must ensure that operators are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection point. In
some cases, connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product operators in these
