Installation precautions

Installation precautions

Follow all precautions when installing a device.

General precautions

DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
CAUTION
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not
restricted.
CAUTION
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
DANGER
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
If the battery dies, contact Technical Support for assistance.

Lifting precautions

DANGER
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place
lighter devices above.

Power precautions

CAUTION
Use a separate branch circuit for each power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the circuits fails.
CAUTION
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 the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the
device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the input power connectors.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
