Attention notices
An attention notice indicates the possibility of damage to a program, device, or

notice, but is not required. A sample attention notice follows:
Attention: Do not bend a fibre cable to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in); you can
damage the cable. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they
can be easily overtightened, causing damage to the cable.
ESD precautions: Attention: Many of the field replaceable units (FRUs) are
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD), and can potentially be damaged by
improper handling. Wear a wrist grounding strap connected to chassis ground (if
the device is plugged in) or a bench ground. Store all ESD-sensitive components in
antistatic packaging.
Caution notices
A caution notice calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to
people because of some existing condition. A caution notice can be accompanied
