Safety Guidelines
General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your system:
•
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product except as explained in your
system documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with
a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments should
be serviced only by an authorized service technician.
•
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace
the part, or contact your authorized service provider:
–
The power cable, extension cord, or plug is damaged.
–
An object has fallen into the product.
–
The product has been exposed to water.
–
The product has been dropped or damaged.
–
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
•
Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents.
•
Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
•
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•
Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
•
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
•
Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source
indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service representative or local power company.
•
Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your
Content Engine or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that
is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the
voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating
of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
•
To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If
you must use an extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.
•
Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all
products plugged into the extension cord or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the extension
cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.
•
Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.
•
To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
•
Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they
cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables
or power cord.
•
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.
