Warranty Information
Software and Hardware Limited Warranties
Lucent Technologies provides a 90-day limited software warranty, and a one-
year limited hardware warranty on this product. Refer to the Software License
and Limited Warranty Agreement and the Lucent Technologies InterNetworking Sys-
tems Global Warranty that accompanied your package for more information.
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 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 to reinitialize and display the accurate configu-
ration of the module that is inserted.
!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. Only Lucent-
authorized personnel should ship the PSAX chassis with a module
installed.
Safety Warnings and Information
When installing and operating the 6-Port DS1 IMA module, follow the safety
guidelines provided in the printed PacketStar®PSAX Safety Guidelines, which
accompanies this product, to help prevent serious personal injury and dam-
age to the 6-Port DS1 IMA module. Please read all warnings and instructions
supplied before beginning installation or configuration of this module. In
addition to the general safety information provided, you should also refer to
the text in the PacketStar PSAX user and installation guides for other impor-
tant safety information and procedures.
