To ensure personal safety and to prevent the laser beam from inadvertently 
switching on during servicing, power to the laser diode is switched off when the 
front cover or upper right cover is opened. Four safety switches are installed in 
series on the LD5 V line from the power supply unit (PSU) via the BICU board.
