Installation Site Requirement

Installation Site Requirement

The DFE module must be installed in a Matrix E7, N3, N5, or N7 chassis located in a Restricted Access Location (RAL). This location should only be accessible by people that have been trained or are technically competent enough to be aware of potential risks of accessing the hazardous areas of the chassis. Locations such as a locked wiring closet or locked cabinet meet this requirement.

Warning: Install this module in a Matrix E7, N3, N5, or N7 chassis that has been installed in a Restricted Access Location only. Access to the equipment by users must be restricted through the use of a tool or lock and key or other means of security and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Advertencia: Instalar este modulo en un Matrix E7, N3, N5, o N7 que ha sido localizado en un lugar de Acceso Restringido. Aceso al equipo debe ser restringido por el responsable del sitio.

Warnhinweis: Installieren Sie dieses Modul nur in einem E7, N3, N5, oder N7 Chassis, wenn sich diese in einer zugangsgeschützten Umgebung befinden. Der Bereich zu den Komponenten sollte durch ein Schloß, einen Schlüssel oder sonstigen Sicherungen geschützt und durch einen Verantwortlichen kontrolliert werden.
