where provided, is essential to safe operation and must be verified before
connecting the power supply.
Know the following safety warnings and guidelines:
¾ Dangerous Voltages
- Only qualified service personnel are allowed to perform equipment
installation or replacement.
- Only qualified service personnel are allowed to remove chassis covers and
access any of the components inside the chassis.
¾ Grounding
- Do not violate the protective grounding by using an extension cable, power
cable, or autotransformer without a protective ground conductor.
- Take care to maintain the protective grounding of this equipment during
service or repair and to re-establish the protective grounding before putting
this equipment back into operation.
Installation Site
When selecting the installation site, comply with the following:
¾ Protective Ground - The protective ground lead of the building’s electrical
installation should comply with national and local requirements.
¾ Environmental Condition – The installation site should be dry, clean, and
ventilated. Do not use this equipment where it could be at risk of contact with
water. Ensure that this equipment is operated in an environment that meets the
requirements as stated in this equipment’s technical specifications, which may be
found on this equipment’s data sheet.
Installation Requirements
WARNING:
Allow only qualified service personnel to install this equipment. The
installation must conform to all local codes and regulations.
Equipment Placement
WARNING:
Avoid personal injury and damage to this equipment. An unstable mounting
surface may cause this equipment to fall.

Important Safety Instructions
ix
To protect against equipment damage or injury to personnel, comply with the
following:
¾ Install this equipment in a restricted access location.

Important Safety Instructions
x
¾ Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
¾ Place this equipment close enough to a mains AC outlet to accommodate the
length of this equipment’s power cord.
¾ Route all power cords so that people cannot walk on, place objects on, or lean
objects against them. This may pinch or damage the power cords. Pay particular
attention to power cords at plugs, outlets, and the points where the power cords
exit this equipment.
¾ Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with this equipment.
¾ Make sure the mounting surface or rack is stable and can support the size and
weight of this equipment.
¾ The mounting surface or rack should be appropriately anchored according to
manufacturer’s specifications. Ensure this equipment is securely fastened to the
mounting surface or rack where necessary to protect against damage due to any
disturbance and subsequent fall.
Ventilation
This equipment has openings for ventilation to protect it from overheating.
To ensure equipment reliability and safe operation, do not block or cover any
of the ventilation openings. Install the equipment in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
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.

Important Safety Instructions
xi
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.
¾ Use caution when moving this equipment/cart combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
¾ 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.
¾ Avoid quick stops and starts when moving the cart.
¾ 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.

Important Safety Instructions
xii
To properly ground this equipment, follow these safety guidelines:
¾ 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.
¾ 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)
¾ Class I Mains Powered Equipment – Provided with a 3-terminal AC inlet and
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.
¾ 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.

Important Safety Instructions
xiii
