Safety Guidelines
–
The product has been dropped or damaged.
–
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also,
do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate
the product in a wet environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing
so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
• Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type
of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure
of the type of power source required, consult your service representative or
local power company.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your system or for any AC-powered option intended for your
system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The
power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all
products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the power
strip ampere ratings limit.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with
your product.
• To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
