Safety Recommendations
Use the following guidelines and the information in the following sections to help ensure your safety and
protect the ASA. The list of guidelines may not address all potentially hazardous situations in your
working environment, so be alert and exercise good judgement at all times.
Note
If you need to remove the chassis cover to install a hardware component, such as additional memory or
an interface card, doing so does not affect your Cisco warranty. Upgrading the ASA does not require any
special tools and does not create any radio frequency leaks.
The safety guidelines are as follows:
•
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free before, during and after installation.
•
Keep tools away from walk areas where you and others could fall over them.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, or chains, that could get caught
in the chassis.
•
Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
•
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•
Never attempt to lift an object that is too heavy for one person to handle.
