Appendix B: Safety Guidelines

Reliable Earthing

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips or extension cords.

Safety Precautions for Operating the ACS

Please read all the following safety guidelines to protect yourself and your AlterPath Console Server.

DANGER!

Do not operate your ACS with the cover removed.

DANGER!

To avoid shorting out your ACS when disconnecting the network cable, first unplug the cable from the Host Server, unplug external power (if applicable), equipment and then unplug the cable from the network jack. When reconnecting a network cable to the back equipment, first plug the cable into the network jack, and then into the Host Server equipment.

DANGER!

To help prevent electric shock, plug the ACS into a properly grounded power source. The cable is equipped with a three-prong plug to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the cable. If you have to use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

Important!

To help protect the ACS from electrical power fluctuations, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply.

Important!

Be sure that nothing rests on the cables of the ACS and that they are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

Important!

Do not spill food or liquids on the ACS.
