Regulatory and Safety
Before installing this equipment, ensure that it is permissible to connect to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. You must install this equipment using an acceptable connection method.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by a supplier-designated representative. If you make repairs or
alterations to this equipment, or if the equipment malfunctions, the telecommunications company may request that
you disconnect the equipment.
You should ensure, for your own protection, that the electrical ground connections for the power utility, telephone
lines, and internal water-pipe system, if present, are connected. This precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.
Caution: You should not attempt to make such connections. You should contact the appropriate inspection authority
or electrician.
Canada CS-03 Règles et règlements
Note: L’étiquette du ministère des Communications du Canada indique que l’appareillage est certifié, c’est-à-dire
qu’il respecte certaines exigences de sécuritéet de fonctionnement visant les réseaux de télécommunications. Le
ministère ne garantit pas que l’appareillage fonctionnera àla satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer l’appareillage, s’assurer qu’il peut être branchéaux installations du service de télécommunications
local. L’appareillage doit aussi être raccordéselon des méthodes acceptées.
Les réparations de l’appareillage certifiédevraient être confiées àun service désignépar le fournisseur. En cas de
réparation ou de modification effectuées par l’utilisateur ou de mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareillage, le service
de télécommunications peut demander le débranchement de l’appareillage.
Pour leur propre sécurité, les utilisateurs devraient s’assurer que les mises àla terre des lignes de distribution
d’électricité, des lignes téléphoniques et de la tuyauterie métallique interne sont raccordées ensemble. Cette mesure de
sécuritéest particulièrement importante en milieu rural.
Attention: Les utilisateurs ne doivent pas procéder àces raccordements, mais doivent plutôt faire appel aux pouvoirs
de réglementation en cause ou àun électricien, selon le cas.

Regulatory and Safety
Safety Warnings
General Warnings
The following safety warnings apply:
•Mechanical hazards and electrical shock hazards are possible if you remove one or more of the modules. There are
no operator-serviceable modules. Only qualified personnel should service this equipment.
•This equipment must be connected to a protective ground according to the instructions in this manual. Improper
grounding may result in electrical shock.
•This equipment does not provide safety isolation between any port that is connected to a digital network
termination point or any port to which terminal equipment is connected.
•The wall circuit breaker provides the main protection for this equipment. For -48 VDC operation, the equipment
must reside on its own circuit with a breaker rated for 20 A.
•Ensure that rack installation does not result in airflow blockage to power supply vents or chassis vents.
•Before installing the CVX 600 switch, ensure that the rack is sturdy and well-secured.
DC Power Supply Warnings
The DC power supply must be installed in a restricted area, such as an equipment closet or room, in compliance with
Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. The DC power source must be
isolated from the AC power source and must have a proper ground.
The grounded conductor of the DC supply circuit can be connected to the frame grounding conductor of the CVX 600
switch. In this case, the following conditions apply:
•The CVX 600 switch must be connected to the DC power supply grounded conductor or bonding jumper from the
grounding terminal bar or bus to which the DC power supply grounded conductor is connected.
•The CVX 600 switch must be located in the same area as other equipment having a connection between the
grounded conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also the point of grounding of
the DC system. The DC system must not be grounded elsewhere.
•You must not switch or disconnect devices in the grounded conductor between the DC power supply and the point
of connection of the grounding electrode conductor.
•A readily accessible disconnect device may be provided in the fixed wiring for a DC power supply. The device must
be rated for the voltage and current specified.
•Before installing equipment in a rack, consider the overall loading of the branch circuit.
For safety purposes, the DC power supply requires connection to a grounded outlet. To prevent possible injury from
voltages on the telecommunications network, disconnect all telecommunications network lines before disconnecting
the DC power supply from the grounded outlet.

Product Damage
If any part of the CVX 600 is damaged, contact the shipper to conduct an
inspection and prepare a damage report. Save the shipping container and all
packing materials until the inspection and the damage report are completed.
In addition, contact Technical Support as instructed in the previous section so that
arrangements can be made for replacement equipment. Do not return any part of
the shipment until you receive detailed instructions from a technical
representative.
Equipment Problems
If your equipment is not working properly, you should immediately remove it
from the telephone line to prevent any possible damage to the telephone network.
If the telephone company identifies a problem, they may notify you prior to
discontinuing telephone service. After notification, you will be given an
opportunity to correct the problem. You will also be informed of your right to file
a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
If repair or modification is required in order for your equipment to operate
properly, contact Technical Support. All repairs or modifications must be
completed by Nortel Networks or an authorized Nortel Networks representative.
