Warranty Warnings
WARNING:
!
When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not force-
fully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in
the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis.
Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing
the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and
allows the PSAX system time to reinitialize and display the accurate con-
figuration of the module that is inserted.
!CAUTION:
Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your
warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized
by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such
equipment.
!CAUTION:
Shipping the chassis with removable I/O, server, or CPU modules
installed may cause damage to the chassis and the modules. Damage to
any of the components in the system resulting from shipping the chassis
with removable modules installed will void your warranty.

Use of Command Description Tables
All illustrations for configuration windows in this guide for the PSAX system
console interface are followed by a command description table describing the
command functions displayed on the window (near the bottom of the win-
dow). You should read all the information in the command description table,
especially when first using a window, because these descriptions may have
special instructions or configuration constraints provided in the Function col-
umn by use of the Note: text convention (see Table 1-2).
Use of Field Description Tables
For all illustrations for configuration windows in this guide for both the
PSAX system console interface and the EMS-PSAX, the field description
tables normally follow the command description tables. Field description
tables define the editable and the display-only fields, their functions, valid
values, and constraints, if applicable. As in the command description tables,
the Note: text convention is also used, where appropriate, in the field descrip-
tion tables to alert the user to special instructions or configuration constraints
(see Figure 1-1).
