Chapter 3: Safety Precautions
Safety messages
Safety messages are an important part of the technical documentation. The messages alert
you to hazards to personnel and equipment and provide guidance for the safe operation of
your
equipment. Failure to comply with the safety messages could result in equipment damage
and personal injury.
Following are the most common types of safety messages.
Warning:
Installation must be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and follow all warning
notices and instructions marked on the product or included in the documentation.
Voltage:
This
equipment relies on the building's installation for overcurrent protection. Ensure that a
fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 16 A International) is
used on the phase conductors.
Caution:
This device is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this device can cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take appropriate measures.
Caution:
When
mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the
rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting
brackets are not designed to support multiple units.
