Safety Measures

Observe the following safety measures when you install the system:

•

Use caution when you remove the system from the shipping crate. Failure to handle the
system carefully can result in personal injury or property damage.

Caution: Ensure that the shipping crate is positioned close to its destination before you
unpack the crate.

Warning:

Employ a minimum of two people to lift an IRU, to move the IRU(s) from

one location to another, and to install the IRU(s) in a rack. Otherwise, someone could be
seriously injured. Note that IRUs should have blades and power supplies removed to
make the unit easier to lift and position.

•

Do not move the system while it is connected to power.

Warning:

Keep fingers and conductive tools away from high-voltage areas. Failure

to follow these precautions will result in serious injury or death. The high-voltage areas
of the system are indicated with high-voltage warning labels.

Ensure that a qualified electrician has properly installed the power receptacles.

•

Set all PDU circuit breakers to the OFF (

O

) position before you plug in the system power

cord.
