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.
