Safety Warnings and Guidelines
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, might
harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution
when servicing.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
