Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694
Safety Guidelines
General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694:
• 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 a trained and qualified service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace
the part or contact your customer service representative:
–
The power cable 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 WAVE
appliance 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.
• Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the
power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the 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.
