3.1 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Warning Read the following safety warnings and product cautions to avoid
personal injury or product damage.
3.1.1 Preventing Injury
•
To avoid injury, be careful when lifting the chassis out of the shipping box.
• Never attempt to rack mount the RS 32000 chassis unaided. Ask an assistant to help you hold
the chassis.
• Never operate the RS 32000 with exposed power supply bays or line card slots. You can leave
the PC card slots exposed but make sure you do not insert any objects other than the appropriate
PC flash RAM card into the PC card slot.
• Never operate the RS 32000 if the chassis becomes wet or if the area in which the chassis is
installed is wet.
3.1.2 Preventing Equipment Damage
To prevent accidental product damage, observe the following precautions:
• Always use proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) gear when handling the Control Module,
backplane, line cards or other internal parts of the RS 32000.
• Make sure there are at least 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) of room above and behind the RS 32000
chassis for air flow to the cooling fans.
• Install the RS 32000 as low as possible in the rack to prevent tipping of the rack.
• If the RS 32000 is to be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack, make sure that the ambient
temperature around the unit does not exceed the temperature range listed in Table 3-1.
