General Safety Precautions
Before working on the equipment, be aware of standard safety guidelines and the hazards involved in
working with electrical circuitry to prevent accidents. Adhere to the following cautions and warnings
and those throughout the guide for safe and hazard-free installation.
Note
To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance
and Safety Information for the Cisco 6015 System document that accompanied this product.
Caution
Before you start the installation procedures, read the entire document for important information and
safety warnings.
Caution
Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco equipment. Installation and
maintenance personnel should be properly grounded by means of grounding straps to eliminate the
risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Equipment is subject to ESD damage whenever it is removed
from the chassis.
Caution
If fuses are already installed in the fuse and alarm panel, remove them. You can replace the fuses after
the system is installed. Do not power up the system while you install and connect the system.
Caution
If the power connections are improperly connected and power is applied while the cards are installed,
the cards and chassis could be damaged.
Caution
It is important that the chassis cooling fans run continuously while the system is powered.
Caution
Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt system operation.
Warning
This warning symbol means
danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you
work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar
with standard practices for preventing accidents.
