Safety Notices
Attention: When moving or relocating certain configurations of the system, the Bulk Power Regulators
(BPR’s) must be removed from the top of the rack (front and rear) to ensure product stability. Specifically,
removal of the top two BPR’s in the front and rear is required in systems that have less then 2 I/O drawers
in the rack.
A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing death or serious
personal injury. Danger notices appear on the following pages:

Rack Safety Instructions
v Do not install this unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed 35 degrees C.
v Do not install this unit in a rack where the airflow is compromised. Any side, front or back of the unit
used for air flow through the unit must not be in direct contact with the rack.
v Care should be taken to ensure that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven mechanical
loading when installing this unit in a rack. If the rack has a stabilizer it must be firmly attached before
installing or removing this unit.
v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the
correct power connection to the rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to
determine the total power requirement for the supply circuit.
v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the
system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that
the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Electrical Safety
Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices attached to
the system.

DANGER
An
electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or
station protectors for communications lines.
D06
CAUTION:
This product is equipped with a four-wire (three-phase and ground) power cable for the user’s
safety. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid electrical shock.
C27
Note:
This system can be configured for single-phase or three-phase.
DANGER
To
prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect all power cables from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
D01
CAUTION:
This unit has more than one power supply cord. Follow procedures for removal of power from the
system when directed.
C28
CAUTION:
Energy hazard, remove power before servicing.
C22
CAUTION:
Energy hazard, remove all jewelry before servicing.
