Preventing Injury
Cautions: Observe the following safety warnings to prevent accidental injury when
working with the Enterasys Xpedition (XP) hardware.
• To avoid back strain, be careful when lifting the chassis out of the shipping box.
• Never attempt to rack mount the XP chassis unaided. Ask an assistant to help you hold
the chassis.
• Never operate the XP with exposed power-supply bays or module slots. You can leave
the PC slots exposed but make sure you do not place any tools or body parts in the PC
slot.
• Never operate the XP if the chassis becomes wet or the area where the chassis is
installed is wet.
