Warranty Warnings
!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:
When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not
forcefully. 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 to reinitialize and display the
accurate configuration of the module that is inserted.
!CAUTION:
Shipping the chassis with removable 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 could void your warranty. Only Lucent-
authorized personnel should ship the PSAX chassis with a module
installed.
