Safety Instructions
nLift the appliance with assistance. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the appliance by yourself.
nOpening or removing the appliance cover, while the appliance is powered on may expose you to a
risk of electric shock.
nDo not operate the appliance without the cover for more than five minutes. Operating the appliance
without the cover can result in component damage.
nMany repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. Only perform troubleshooting and
simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the technical support.
nWe recommend that you always use an antistatic mat and antistatic strap on your wrist, while
working on components inside the appliance.
nTo ensure proper operation and cooling, all bays in the appliance and cooling fans must be always
populated with a component or a blank.
For more information, see the Enterprise Products Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information
booklet supplied in the original appliance shipping carton.
Best Practice - We recommend that only experienced personnel install or remove
hardware components. Installing or removing components incorrectly can
permanently damage the Security Management Appliance.
Important - Make sure that you are electromagnetically grounded when working with
hardware components of the appliance. ESD (electrostatic discharge) can damage the
appliance.
