Safety Guidelines
Review the recommendations in this section before you install the Alcatel-Lucent
SafeGuard Controller.
General Safety Recommendations
The following recommendations will help ensure your safety and prevent damage to the
equipment:
■ Always be careful when lifting and moving heavy or awkward objects. The
SafeGuard Controller weighs 20 pounds and may require two people to
maneuver it when you install it in a rack.
■ Always begin loading a rack from the bottom to the top, especially when you
are installing only one SafeGuard Controller.
■ Populate the bottom of the rack with the heaviest component.
■ While installing the SafeGuard Controller, take the necessary precautions to avoid
bodily injury. Make sure that the SafeGuard Controller can be held in a stable
position when lifting, mounting, or servicing it.
■ Do not wear jewelry when you work on electrical or mechanical equipment.
■ If you plan to stack several SafeGuard Controllers, take care that the SafeGuard
Controllers are properly installed in a rack or on a table.
Safety with Electricity
Follow these recommendations when you are working around electrical equipment:
■ To be able to disconnect the power cords when needed, make sure that the sockets
are easily accessible.
■ Disconnect all power cables before you install or remove the SafeGuard
Controller.
■ Never assume that the source power for the SafeGuard Controller is off; always
check.
■ When you connect or disconnect power, always connect ground first and
disconnect ground last.
WARNING: The SafeGuard Controller is a Class 1 Laser device.
