Installation Precautions
Follow these precautions when installing a Foundry device.
General Precautions
WARNING:
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
CAUTION:
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed
50
o
C (121
o
F).
CAUTION:
Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
CAUTION:
Never leave tools inside the device.
Lifting Precautions
WARNING:
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
WARNING:
Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
Power Precautions
CAUTION:
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the
circuits fails.
CAUTION:
To avoid high voltage shock, do not open the device while the power is on.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere rat-
ings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.
WARNING:
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
WARNING:
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure
you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your
country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
