The information in this chapter is intended for the system administrator, network equipment technician,

Only qualified service personnel should install, maintain, or remove a switch, chassis, or its
components. Qualified service personnel have had appropriate technical training and experience that is
necessary to be aware of the hazards to which they are exposed when performing a task and of
measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other people.
