Safety Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to help ensure your safety and protect the appliance. The list of guidelines
may not address all potentially hazardous situations in your working environment, so be alert and
exercise good judgement at all times.
Note
Removing the chassis cover to install a hardware component does not affect your Cisco warranty.
Upgrading the appliance does not require any special tools and does not create any radio frequency leaks.
The safety guidelines are as follows:
•
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free before, during and after installation.
•
Keep tools away from walk areas where you and others could fall over them.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, or chains, that could get caught
in the chassis.
•
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
•
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•
Never attempt to lift an object that is too heavy for one person to handle.
Electricity Safety Guidelines
Warning

disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.
