•Disconnect all power and external cables before installing or removing a chassis.
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
