Safety Precautions for Operating the ACS
Please read all the following safety guidelines to protect yourself and your
AlterPath Console Server.
DANGER!
Do not operate your ACS with the cover removed.
DANGER!
To avoid shorting out your ACS when disconnecting the network
cable, first unplug the cable from the Host Server, unplug external
power (if applicable), equipment and then unplug the cable from the
network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to the back
equipment, first plug the cable into the network jack, and then into the
Host Server equipment.
DANGER!
To help prevent electric shock, plug the ACS into a properly grounded
power source. The cable is equipped with a three-prong plug to help
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the
grounding prong from the cable. If you have to use an extension cable,
use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
Important!
To help protect the ACS from electrical power fluctuations, use a surge
suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply.
Important!
Be sure that nothing rests on the cables of the ACS and that they are
not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Important!
Do not spill food or liquids on the ACS.
