Chapter 3: Safety messages

Safety messages are an important part of the technical documentation. The messages alert you to
hazards to personnel and equipment and provide guidance for the safe operation of your equipment.
Failure to comply with the safety messages could result in equipment damage and personal injury.
Following are the most common safety messages.
Warning:
Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and follow all warning notices
and instructions marked on the product or included in the documentation.
Voltage:
This equipment relies on the building's installation for overcurrent protection. Ensure that a fuse
or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 A International) is used on
the phase conductors.
Caution:
This device is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this device can cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate measures.
Caution:
When mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the
rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting
brackets are not designed to support multiple units.

Use only power cords that have a grounding path. Without a proper ground, a person who
touches the switch is in danger of receiving an electrical shock. Lack of a grounding path to the
switch can result in excessive emissions.
