Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
Danger
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles
on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the
weight of the unit. Statement 1032

Danger
Before opening the unit, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network
voltages. Statement 1041
Danger
This equipment contains a ring signal generator (ringer), which is a source of hazardous voltage. Do not touch
the RJ-11 (phone) port wires (conductors), the conductors of a cable connected to the RJ-11 port, or the
associated circuit-board when the ringer is active. The ringer is activated by an incoming call. Statement 1042
