Safety and Security Considerations
Electrical grounding of the 3708 is essential for safety and proper machine operation,
so be sure the power receptacle is properly grounded. If you have any questions
about the grounding of the receptacle, contact an electrician.
Since the 3708 is small and lightweight, one person can move it safely during
installation or relocation.
If the 3708 cables are not installed under a raised floor, be sure the cables are
arranged so there is adequate space for people to move around the 3708 safely.
The 3708 cables, particularly those for a direct connection using the EIA 422A
interface, are not protected against lightning. They must not be placed outdoors.
To ensure the physical security of the 3708, do the following:
• Allow only authorized persons to press switches on the 3708 and to use the
control terminal.
• Use unique passwords for port access and control terminal functions rather than
the default passwords.
• Exclude control terminal access to public ports.
