Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
Keep the area clear and dust-free before, during, and after installation.
Keep tools away from walkways, where you and others might trip over them.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, chains, or metal fasteners for your
clothing that could get caught in the chassis.
Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your
sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
Never attempt to lift an object that is too heavy for one person.
When lifting any heavy object:
– Lifting the chassis may require two people.
Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think
–
are too heavy for you
– Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
–
Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the
–
muscles in your back.
Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.
–
Do not perform any action that causes hazards or makes the equipment unsafe.
Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer's personnel
are not in a hazardous position.
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are
servicing the machine.
Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip,
approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open or remove chassis covers or metal parts without proper
instruction.
Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs,
using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
There must be ample clearance on all sides of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports,
as well as for access to the network interface modules (no less than 2 inches).
Remove all factory packaging before using the appliance.
