General Safety Information
1. The M-100 should not be used in a home, school or other public area where the general
population would have access to it.
2. The manufacturer specifies that the thumbscrew should be tightened with a screwdriver.
Use of a thumbscrew is not to compromise the basic principles of safety.
• Do not use damaged equipment, including exposed, frayed or damaged power cords. Use
only the approved power cable that is rated for the equipment. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the equipment.
• Plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings to ensure that the total ampere rating of
all equipment plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent
of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• The power supplies in the M-100 may produce high voltages and potential energy
hazards. By opening the cover of the M-100 you may be exposed to a risk of electric shock.
The components inside the M-100 housing should only be serviced by Palo Alto
Networks.
• The M-100 should not be operated with the cover removed.
• Components inside the M-100 housing may become extremely hot during normal
operation. These components include the memory and CPU modules. Allow sufficient
time for components to cool before handling.
• The M-100 should not be operated in environments that can get wet. Protect the M-100 at
all times from liquid intrusion.
• If your M-100 gets wet, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker before attempting to
remove the power cables from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect power to the
equipment and to any attached devices.
