Installation precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the chassis.
General precautions
DANGER
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
CAUTION
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40°C (104°F).
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not
restricted.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis
with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
CAUTION
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
Lifting precautions
DANGER
A fully populated chassis is heavy. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR
MOUNTING THESE DEVICES.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place
lighter devices above.
Power precautions and warnings
NOTE
The power supplies are hot swappable, which means they can be removed and replaced while the chassis is powered on and
running.
CAUTION
Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device. Otherwise, the power
supply or the device could be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while a power supply is being installed or
removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.)
DANGER
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord
displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your
assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
