WARNING
ACCIDENTAL SPILLS — To avoid electric shock or device
malfunction, liquids must not be allowed to enter the device. If
liquids have entered a device, take it out of service and have it
checked by a service technician before it is used again.
WARNING
DISCONNECTION FROM MAINS — When disconnecting the
system from the power line, remove the plug from the wall outlet
first. Then you may disconnect the power cord from the device. If
you do not observe this sequence, there is a risk of coming into
contact with line voltage by inserting metal objects, such as the pins
of leadwires, into the sockets of the power cord by mistake.
The safety tests and checkout procedures provide a method of verifying operational
and functional performance without having to disassemble the unit. Failure to attain
the prescribed results indicates a need for calibration, configuration, or repair of the
equipment.
The safety tests and checkout procedures are based on the assumption that the
equipment being tested is using known, good cables. It also requires that the user be
familiar with the operation of the system. For more information concerning the
operation of these components, refer to the operator manual associated with the
equipment.
Perform all of the checkout procedures included in this section to completely test the
system for proper function and operation.
Perform the checkout procedures upon receipt of the equipment, every year thereafter,
and each time a component is removed or replaced.
Checkout procedures need to be performed at the following times:
 When initially installing, modifying the configuration, or upgrading the software.
See Configuration checkout procedures on page 7-3.

When performing preventive maintenance.

When replacing any FRU.
The safety tests and checkout procedures are written for the GE recommended test
equipment listed for each test. If you use test equipment other than those GE
recommends, you may need to slightly modify some test steps.
