    General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: • Keep the area around the 1025TC-T/1025TC-10G clean and free of clutter. • The 1025TC-T/1025TC-10G weighs approximately 40 lbs (~18.2 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.

  • Page 33: Esd Precautions

    Chapter 4: System Safety • After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards.

  • Page 34: Operating Precautions

    Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 1025TC- T/1025TC-10G is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
