Chapter 9. Removal and Replacement Procedures
Before performing any of the removal or replacement procedures in this chapter, read
the following notices.
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with a 3-wire power cable and plug for the user's safety.
Use this power cable in conjunction with a properly grounded electrical outlet to
avoid electrical shock.
CAUTION:
This unit has more than one power supply cord. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect two power supply cords before servicing.

electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags to prevent damage
caused by electrostatic discharge.

v If you have an antistatic wrist strap available, use it while handling the device.
