Safety Precautions
This manual covers safety precautions for the Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System, including the CPS-SS-4RU and the CPS-SS-4RU-EX.
Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System products contain hazardous materials:
•Only Trained Operators may remove certain field-replaceable units (FRU's).
•Only trained Service Engineers are authorized to disassemble any other part of the unit, and only when the unit is powered off.
Caution Static Charge Precautions
Computer components and disk s are sensitive to static charge. Take precautions to earth any electrostatic charge from your person before and while handling components with your hands or any tools. Please use the anti-static wrist-strap shipped with each Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System product.
Caution Lifting Precautions
Ensure correct lifting methods are used when handling Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System products. Special care should be taken when removing Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System products from their packaging and positioning them into their operational location.
Caution Securing Rack Mounts
Ensure the mounting rack is stable with wall anchors and/or stabilizing legs, and that the floor supporting the rack has sufficient strength for the overall weight loading.
Caution Rack-mounting Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System Components
When installing Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System products as rack-mounted components, ensure that all Cisco-supplied mounting fixtures are secure.
DO NOT mount any unit exclusively by the front ears. All bolts and screws should be fully tightened. Failure to comply with this may result in a Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System unit not being fully supported in the rack and could lead to the product dropping out of the rack causing personal injury or falling onto other rack components.
 |
Warning Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System products contain hazardous materials. Only a Trained Operator may remove certain field-replaceable units (FRU's). Only trained Service Engineers are authorized to disassemble any other part of the unit, and only when the unit is powered off.
|
|
Warning There are multiple power connections. Remove all power leads completely to isolate the power. Always use the IEC power cords supplied with Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System products.
|
|
Warning THERE IS RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED WITH INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON THE BATTERY, OR IN COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.
