Bolts should be tightened with a torque wrench and marked using red or blue color. After
the installation personnel confirm that the screws are tightened, mark the screws using
blue color.After the inspector confirms that the screws are tightened, mark the screws
using red color. (The marks should cross the edges of the screws, as shown in the
following figure.)
If there is a probability of personal injury or equipment damage during installation,
immediately stop operations on the equipment, report the case to the project owner, and
take feasible protective measures.
Before installing, operating, or maintaining a cabinet, clean up the water, ice, or other
sundries on the top of the cabinet. Then, open the cabinet door to prevent sundries from
falling into the cabinet.
Do not install, use, or operate outdoor equipment and cables (including but not limited to
moving equipment, operating equipment and cables, installing cabinets, installing power
cables, inserting and removing signal connectors connected to outdoor ports, working at
heights, and outdoor installation) in severe weather conditions such as lightning, rain,
snow, and wind of level 6.
Before installing, operating, or maintaining the equipment, remove any conductive
objects such as watches or metal jewelry like bracelets, bangles, and rings.
When installing, operating, or maintaining the equipment, wear dedicated protective
gears such as insulation gloves, safety clothing, safety helmet, and safety shoes, as
shown in the following figure.
Follow the procedures of installation, operation, and maintenance.
Before handling a conductor surface or terminal, measure the contact point voltage with
a multimeter and ensure that there is no risk of electric shock.

Ensure that all slots are installed with boards or filler panels.Avoid hazards caused by
hazardous voltages or energy on boards. Ensure that the air channel is normal, control
electromagnetic interference, and prevent dust and other sundries on the backplane,
baseplate, and boards.
After installing the equipment, remove idle packing materials such as cartons, foam,
plastics, and cable ties from the equipment area.
In the case of a fire, immediately leave the building or the equipment area, and turn on
the fire alarm bell or make an emergency call. Do not enter the building on fire in any
case.
Do not stop protective devices. Pay attention to the warnings, cautions, and related
precautionary measures in this document and on the nameplates. Promptly replace
warning labels that have worn out.
Keep irrelevant people far away from the equipment.
Use wooden or fiberglass ladders when you need to perform live working at heights.
Use insulated tools or tools with insulated handles, as shown in the following figure.
All cable holes should be sealed. Seal the cable holes with firestop putty. Seal the unused
cable holes with the caps delivered with the cabinet. The following figure shows the
criteria for correct sealing with firestop putty.

"WARNING", and "DANGER" statements in this document do not represent all the safety
instructions. They are only supplements to the safety instructions.
Symbol
Description
Indicates exposed high-voltage devices. This symbol warns
trained operation personnel that direct contact with the
power grid supply voltage or indirect contact with the power
grid voltage through damp objects or damp air will be fatal.
This symbol is attached to a position with dangerous
voltages or a power protective cover which may be removed
during maintenance.
Warns users of overheating. This symbol is attached to a
device surface that may overheat and cause scalding. It
warns users not to touch the surface during operation or
maintenance. Users should wear heat insulation gloves
before operation to prevent scalding.
or
Indicates protective grounding. This symbol is attached near
the protective ground terminal and is used beside a terminal
through which a device is connected to an external
grounding grid. A device ground cable is connected from
the protective ground terminal to the external ground bar.
Indicates equipotential bonding. This symbol is used for an
equipotential bonding terminal. That is, this symbol is
attached to each equipotential bonding terminal inside a
device.
Is an ESD symbol and attached to any areas with
electrostatic sensitivity. If you see such a symbol, wear a
pair of ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap before operating a
device.
Indicates that the device can be safely used only in areas
with an altitude lower than 2000 meters.
Indicates that the device can be safely used only in a
non-tropical climate.
or
Is used on a fan box or moving parts. It is attached to the
panel of the fan box to warn trained operation personnel not
to touch the device. Do not touch the fan blade when it is
rotating.
or
Indicates that users should refer to the instruction. This
symbol is used when the usage of a device port cannot be
clearly described. For example, this symbol can be used in
but not limited to the following scenarios:
1. For a multi-power device, use it near the power supply to
replace the multi-power supply identifier. The symbol
indicates that the device has multiple power inputs.
Therefore, when powering off the device, you must
