General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions when using and working with your
GSS:
Keep your GSS components away from radiators and heat sources, and do not
block cooling vents.
Do not spill food or liquids on your GSS components, and never operate the
product in a wet environment. If the GSS gets wet, see Chapter 4,
Troubleshooting the GSS Hardware or contact the Cisco Technical Assistance
Center. For instructions on contacting the Technical Assistance Center, see
the Preface.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your GSS components. Doing
so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Position cables and power cables carefully; route all cables and the power
cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that
nothing rests on your GSS cables or the power cable.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local/national
wiring rules.
To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait 5 seconds after
turning off the GSS before removing a component from the system board or
disconnecting a peripheral device from the GSS.

Assistance Center:
