Conventions for Alert Messages

This manual uses the following conventions to show the alert messages. An alert message
consists of an alert signal and alert statements. The alert signal consists of an alert symbol
and a signal word or just a signal word.
The following are the alert signals and their meanings:
This indicates a hazardous situation likely to result in
serious personal injury if the user does not perform the
procedure correctly.
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in serious
personal injury if the user does not perform the procedure
correctly.
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in minor
or moderate personal injury if the user does not perform
the procedure correctly. This alert signal also indicates
that damages to the product or other property, may occur if
the user does not perform the product correctly.
This indicates information that could help the user use the
product more efficiently.
In the text, the alert signal is centered, followed below by the indented message. A wider
line space precedes and follows the alert message to show where the alert message begins
and ends. The following is an example:
(Example)
While the write cache feature is enabled, a write error is reported in the
completion status of another command that is subsequent to the concerned
write command. Note that, if the host performs only retry of an error-
reporting command, data in the block in which the error has occurred is not
correctly written.
The main alert messages in the text are also listed in the “Important Alert Items.”
