Site Planning; General Precautions - Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Preparing Your Site for Installation
Warning
To reduce risk of fire, explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas,
• Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not dismantle, crush, puncture, use sharp tool to remove, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire
• Do not use if battery is warped or swollen
• Do not store or use battery in a temperature > C
• Do not store or use battery in low air pressure environment <
Warning Do not touch or bridge the metal contacts on the battery. Unintentional discharge of the batteries can cause
serious burns.
Warning To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles
on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the
weight of the unit.
Warning Statement 1047 Overheating Prevention
To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended
ambient temperature of:
104° F (40° C)
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
