Cautions and Warnings
Definitions
Cautions indicate that there is the possibility of poor equipment performance or potential
damage to the equipment. Warnings indicate that there is the possibility of injury to person.
Cautions and Warnings appear here and may appear throughout this manual where
appropriate. Failure to read and understand the information identified by this symbol could result
in poor equipment performance, damage to the equipment, or injury to persons.
Cautions
Do not
ship or store devices near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or
radioactive fields.
Caution
: When handling chassis cards, observe electrostatic discharge precautions.
This requires proper grounding (i.e., wear a wrist strap).
Caution
: Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232,
RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intra-building
(inside plant)
link segments that are not subject to lightening transients or power faults. They are
not
to be connected to inter-building
(outside plant)
link segments that are subject to lightening.
Caution
:
Do not
install the
x4120
in areas where strong electromagnetic fields (EMF)
exist. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor x4120 performance.
Caution
: Read the installation instructions before connecting the chassis to a power
source. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor performance or damage to the
equipment.
Caution
: Only trained and qualified personnel should install or perform maintenance on
the ION219-A chassis. Failure to observe this caution could result in poor performance or
damage to the equipment.
Caution
: Do not let optical fibers come into physical contact with any bare part of the body since
they are fragile, and difficult to detect and remove from the body.
Caution
: Do not bend any part of an optical fiber/cable to a diameter that is smaller than the
minimum permitted according to the manufacturer’s specification (usually about 65 mm or 2.5 in)!
