Lifting precautions

DANGER

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.

DANGER

Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device
at the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.

Power precautions

CAUTION

Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of
all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for
the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input
power connectors.

DANGER

Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

CAUTION

Before plugging a cable to any port, be sure to discharge any static charge stored on the cable
by touching the electrical contacts to ground surface.

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.

Preparing the installation site

Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment.
