Lifting precautions

DANGER
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.

Power precautions

CAUTION
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the device.

Preparing the installation site

Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment.
