Equipment Placement
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment. An unstable mounting
surface may cause this equipment to fall.
To protect against equipment damage or injury to personnel, comply with the
following:
Install this equipment in a restricted access location.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Place this equipment close enough to a mains AC outlet to accommodate the
length of this equipment’s power cord.

Rack Mounting Safety Precautions
Mechanical Loading
Make sure that the rack is placed on a stable surface. If the rack has stabilizing
devices, install these stabilizing devices before mounting any equipment in the rack.
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment. Mounting this
equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not caused
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Reduced Airflow
When mounting this equipment in the rack, do not obstruct the cooling airflow
through the rack. Be sure to mount the blanking plates to cover unused rack space.
Additional components such as combiners and net strips should be mounted at the
back of the rack, so that the free airflow is not restricted.
CAUTION:
Installation of this equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of this equipment is not compromised.
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
Only install this equipment in a humidity- and temperature-controlled environment
that meets the requirements given in this equipment’s technical specifications.
CAUTION:
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient
temperature. Therefore, install this equipment in an environment
compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.
Handling Precautions
When moving a cart that contains this equipment, check for any of the following
possible hazards:
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment! Move any equipment
and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause this equipment and cart to overturn.
Use caution when moving this equipment/cart combination to avoid injury from

tip-over.
If the cart does not move easily, this condition may indicate obstructions or
cables that may need to be disconnected before moving this equipment to
another location.
Avoid quick stops and starts when moving the cart.
Check for uneven floor surfaces such as cracks or cables and cords.
Grounding
This section provides instructions for verifying that the equipment is properly
grounded.
Safety Plugs (USA Only)
This equipment may be equipped with either a 3-terminal (grounding-type) safety
plug or a 2-terminal (polarized) safety plug. The wide blade or the third terminal is
provided for safety. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type or
polarized safety plug.
To properly ground this equipment, follow these safety guidelines:
Grounding-Type Plug - For a 3-terminal plug (one terminal on this plug is a
protective grounding pin), insert the plug into a grounded mains, 3-terminal
outlet.
Note: This plug fits only one way. If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the
outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 3-terminal outlet.
Polarized Plug - For a 2-terminal plug (a polarized plug with one wide blade
and one narrow blade), insert the plug into a polarized mains, 2-terminal outlet
in which one socket is wider than the other.
Note: If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 2-terminal
outlet.
Grounding Terminal
If this equipment is equipped with an external grounding terminal, attach one end of
an 18-gauge wire (or larger) to the grounding terminal; then, attach the other end of
the wire to a ground, such as a grounded equipment rack.
Safety Plugs (European Union)
Class I Mains Powered Equipment –Provided with a 3-terminal AC inlet and

Important Safety Instructions
xiv
requires connection to a 3-terminal mains supply outlet via a 3-terminal power
cord for proper connection to the protective ground.
Note: The equipotential bonding terminal provided on some equipment is not
designed to function as a protective ground connection.
Class II Mains Powered Equipment –Provided with a 2-terminal AC inlet that
may be connected by a 2-terminal power cord to the mains supply outlet. No
connection to the protective ground is required as this class of equipment is
provided with double or reinforced and/or supplementary insulation in
addition to the basic insulation provided in Class I equipment.
Note: Class II equipment, which is subject to EN 50083-1, is provided with a
chassis mounted equipotential bonding terminal. See the section titled
Equipotential Bonding for connection instructions.
Equipotential Bonding
If this equipment is equipped with an external chassis terminal marked with the IEC
60417-5020 chassis icon ( ), the installer should refer to CENELEC standard EN
50083-1 or IEC standard IEC 60728-11 for correct equipotential bonding connection
instructions.
AC Power
Important: If this equipment is a Class I equipment, it must be grounded.
If this equipment plugs into an outlet, the outlet must be near this equipment,
and must be easily accessible.
Connect this equipment only to the power sources that are identified on the
equipment-rating label normally located close to the power inlet connector(s).
This equipment may have two power sources. Be sure to disconnect all power
sources before working on this equipment.
If this equipment does not have a main power switch, the power cord connector
serves as the disconnect device.
Always pull on the plug or the connector to disconnect a cable. Never pull on the
cable itself.
Unplug this equipment when unused for long periods of time.

Important Safety Instructions
