Electrical safety This section describes electrical safety precautions against personnel and device damage during installation and maintenance of Symantec products. High voltage precautions A high-voltage power supply provides power for the device. Direct or indirect contact (through damp objects) with a high-voltage power supply (including the main power in a building) may result in fatal danger.
Safety information Electrical safety Improper operation on a high voltage power supply may result in fire and electric shock. To connect and route the AC cables through a certain area, you must follow standard rules and regulations. Personnel must have an up-to-date certificate for operating high voltage and AC power devices.
To prevent short-circuits, do not leave or drop screws in the chassis. Batteries Follow the safety precautions for operating lithium (Li-ion) batteries against personnel and device damage during installation and maintenance of Symantec products.
Safety information Lasers Be sure you are using correct replacement batteries. Otherwise, an explosion may occur. Only use batteries of the same or a similar model as recommended by the vendor. Deal with the waste batteries according to standard instructions. Do not put a lithium battery into a fire.
Safety information Use of optical fiber Do not remove or insert an optical transceiver that connects to an optical fiber without proper safety procedures. Use of optical fiber The safe use of optical fibers ensures proper running of the device and avoids personnel injuries and device damage.
Safety information Power on work Power on/off Before checking the device installation and cable connection, confirm that all power supplies to the device are shut off to prevent personnel injury or device damage caused by incorrect cable connections or loosened cables. If you need to perform hot-line operations and you need to touch power cables, you must take off the ESD-preventive wrist strap to prevent possible electrocution.
Safety information Power on work Troubleshooting Do not touch the connectors of power cables or communication cables. Otherwise, you might receive an electrical shock. Do not touch the device with bare hands in an electrostatic sensitive area. Take ESD-preventive measures, such as wearing ESD-preventive gloves or an ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid personnel injuries or device damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
