Safety warnings
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed
incorrectly, might harm you or damage the equipment. A caution or warning symbol
precedes each safety statement. The safety warnings provide safety guidelines that you
should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or
telephone wiring.
The portable (mechanical) lift tool described in “Appendix B: Field lift tool and accessory
kit” on page 168 is recommended as a safety precaution when lifting EMC components
into an EMC or customer-provided rack. As described in the appendix, many of the EMC
components are too heavy to be lifted by one person or in some cases by two persons. As
a result, this portable (mechanical) lift tool is a necessary safety requirement, especially
when lifting EMC components like the 3U, 120 and the 4U, 60 DAEs.
