one location to another, and to install the IRU(s) in a rack. Otherwise, someone could be
seriously injured. Note that IRUs should have blades and power supplies removed to
make the unit easier to lift and position.

Keep fingers and conductive tools away from high-voltage areas. Failure
to follow these precautions will result in serious injury or death. The high-voltage areas
