General Safety Precautions

To avoid injury and damage to the equipment, follow these safety guidelines.

• Do not try to lift objects that you think are too heavy for you.
• When you install equipment in a rack, load heavier devices in the lower half of the rack first to avoid making the rack top-heavy.
• Use only tools and equipment that are in perfect condition. Do not use equipment with visible damage.
• Route cables in a manner that prevents possible damage to the cables and avoids causing accidents, such as tripping.
• Do not place a monitor or other objects on top of the equipment. The chassis cover is not designed to support weight.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only #26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord. Use only copper conductors.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
• This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor.
