  • Page 203: Cautions And Warnings

    CAUTION: All devices with DC power supplies (NetIron MLX-4, -8, -16, and -32) are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
  • Page 204 CAUTION: For a DC system (NetIron MLX-4, -8, and -16), use a grounding wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 6 AWG wire should be attached to an agency- approved crimp connector (provided on the NetIron MLX-16 chassis), crimped with the proper tool.
  • Page 205 CAUTION: Carefully follow the mechanical guides on each side of the power supply slot and make sure the power supply is properly inserted in the guides. Never insert the power supply upside down. December 2008 © 2008 Foundry Networks, Inc.
