General Safety Precautions

Setting Up the VMC 1000 Appliance

Polycom, Inc.
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Keep the area around the VMC 1000 appliance unit clean and free of
clutter and well ventilated.
• Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the
VMC 1000 appliance, ensuring that it is near a grounded power outlet.
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended
to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. Always make
sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
• In a single rack installation, attach stabilizers to the rack. In multiple rack
installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Use a regulating uninterrupted power supply (UPS) to protect the VMC
1000 appliance from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep it
operating in case of a power failure. Allow the power supply units to cool
before touching them. Always keep the rack's trays and board's closed
when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
