Cisco 8500 - Compliance and Safety Information; Laser Safety

• Keep the work area clear, smoke and dust-free during and after installation. Do not allow dirt or debris
to enter into any laser-based components.
• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that could get caught in the switch or other associated
components.
• Cisco equipment operates safely when used in accordance with its specifications and product-usage
instructions.
• If potentially hazardous conditions exist, do not work alone.
• Take care when connecting multiple units to the supply circuit so that wiring is not overloaded.
• This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain about whether suitable grounding is available.
• When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
• To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to
support the weight of the unit.
• Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing.
