Ensure that the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded.
Observe and follow the service markings. Do not service any device except as explained in the
system documentation. Opening or removing covers marked with a triangular symbol with a

Allow the device to cool before removing covers or touching internal equipment.
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of
all switches installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for
the circuit.
