CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Preparing for Installation
Warning:
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
periods of lightning activity. Read the installation instructions before you connect
the system to its power source.
To turn power
off
the switch, you must disconnect the power cord; there is no
ON/OFF switch. Note that if the switch is connected to an external Redundant
Power Supply Unit (RPSU), the power cord must be removed from both units.
Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are
working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off
the power.
Before working on the system, unplug the power cord. To avoid the possibility
of electrical shock, unplug the power cord from the outlet before detaching the
power cord from the switch.
Disconnect all power before doing the following:
Installing or removing a chassis
Working near power supplies
Performing a hardware upgrade
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,
ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
Unplug the power cord(s).
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the
condition of the victim and then call for help.
Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac
compressions; then take appropriate action.
