12 Preface
The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are used in your
MTS manuals.
As necessary, hazard notices may be embedded in this manual. These notices
contain safety information that is specific to the task to be performed. Hazard
notices immediately precede the step or procedure that may lead to an associated
hazard. Read all hazard notices carefully and follow the directions that are given.
Three different levels of hazard notices may appear in your manuals. Following
are examples of all three levels.
Note For general safety information, see the safety information provided with
your system.
Danger notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a high level of risk which,
if ignored, will result in death, severe personal injury, or substantial property
damage.
Warning notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a medium level of risk
which, if ignored, can result in death, severe personal injury, or substantial
property damage.
Caution notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a low level of risk which,
if ignored, could cause moderate or minor personal injury, equipment damage, or
endanger test integrity.
Notes provide additional information about operating your system or highlight
easily overlooked items. For example:
Note Resources that are put back on the hardware lists show up at the end of
the list.
The first occurrence of special terms is shown in italics.
Illustrations appear in this manual to clarify text. It is important for you to be
aware that these illustrations are examples only and do not necessarily represent
your actual system configuration, test application, or software.
This manual is available as an electronic document in the Portable Document
File (PDF) format. It can be viewed on any computer that has Adobe Acrobat
