Safety and Compliance
Compliance and Safety Information
The Cisco 12006 and Cisco 12406 routers are designed to meet the regulatory
compliance and safety approval requirements. Refer to the Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 12000 Series Router
(Document Number 78-4347-xx) if you require additional compliance
information (see “Cisco Technical Support and Documentation Website” section
on page -xxfor site information).
Laser Safety
Single-mode Cisco 12000 Series Router line cards are equipped with lasers. The
lasers emit invisible radiation. Do not stare into open line card ports. Observe the
following warning to prevent eye injury:
Warning
Avoid exposure to laser radiation. Do not stare into an open aperture, because
invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture when a cable is not
inserted in the port.
Lifting Guidelines
A fully configured Cisco 12006 or Cisco 12406 Router weighs approximately
205 pounds (93 kg). Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly
prepared so that you will not have to move the router later to accommodate power
source and/or network connections.
Caution To prevent damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using the handles
on the blower module or line cards. These handles do not support the weight of
the chassis.
Whenever you lift any heavy or awkward equipment, follow these precautions to
avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:
• When using moving equipment, such as a safety hand truck, pallet jack, or
forklift to move the equipment to another location, use only moving
equipment that is capable of preventing the router from tipping.
