Safety Warnings and Cautions

Before you install the Cisco MXE 3000, observe the following safety warnings and cautions:

Warning

Only authorized technicians trained should attempt to repair this equipment. All troubleshooting and

repair procedures are detailed to allow only subassembly/module-level repair. Because of the

complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the

component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a

safety hazard.

Warning

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that: - The leveling feet are

extended to the floor.

- The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.

- The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. - The racks are coupled

together in multiple-rack installations.

- Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component

is extended for any reason.
