This section explains the conventions used for notes, warnings, and cautions.

Tip A Tip contains information that might help you solve a problem or save time.

Caution A Caution emphasizes a situation in which equipment can be damaged or data can be corrupted or lost.

Notes about Warnings

Warnings used in this document are translated into many languages in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Multiservice Switch Products (MGX, BPX, and SES).

There are 3 types of Warnings in hardware guides:

•EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)

•Safety

•Telecom

Warning statements are numbered. The numbering makes it clearer which Warning translation goes with which source Warning.
