• Read all of these instructions. Save them for future reference.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.
• Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If the
device falls, serious damage will result.
• Do not use the device near water.
• Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers. The device cabinet
is provided with slots and openings to allow for adequate ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation, and to protect against overheating, these openings must never be
blocked or covered.
• The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as this will
block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be placed in a built-in
enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
• Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
• Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
• The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer
or local power company.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord
and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
• If an extension cord is used with this device, make sure that the total ampere rating
of all products used on this cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
Make sure that the total rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not
exceed 15 amperes.
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; be sure that nothing rests on any
cables.
• To help protect your system from sudden transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, it is recommended that you plug your devices into a Tripp Lite
Surge Suppressor, Line Conditioner, or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, observe
the following guidelines:
> Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
> Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
> If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the system
by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.
• Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a risk of fire or electrical
shock.

to qualified service personnel for repair.
> The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed.
