3.1.1 Warnings
This section contains warnings you need to consider before and during the MVB
installation.
Do not turn on the rack power before you have finished the
installation.
Never connect the MVB to, or disconnect it from, a rack with active
power, as this can damage the MVB module or other modules in the
system. Always turn off the rack power first.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic circuits. When not handling
the module at a static free workstation, ground yourself using a wrist strap
and a resistive connection cord.
