Electric shocks can cause personal injury or loss of life. Circuit breakers, switches, and fuses may
not disconnect all power to the equipment. Always refer to the wiring diagrams. Whether the AC

Printed Circuit Cards
Printed circuit boards may be damaged if removed or installed in the circuit while applying power.
Before installation and/or removing printed circuit boards, secure all power.
Always store and ship printed circuit cards in separate static bags.
