General Safety Instructions The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications products. Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual. Safety Symbols This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service personnel.
PAGE 6
Handling Energized Products General Safety Practices Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous, energy hazards may still exist.
PAGE 7
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position. When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal, then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
PAGE 8
there are restrictions on the diameter of wires in the telecom cables, between the equipment and the mating connectors. Caution To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords. Attention Pour réduire les risques s’incendie, utiliser seulement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure. Some ports are suitable for connection to intra-building or non-exposed wiring or cabling only.

Installation and Operation Manual Chapter 6 Software Upgrade If a failure occurs during downloading or decompression, the new version is erased from the flash and the backup version becomes active. In this case, only one version is left stored in the flash memory. If the active software becomes corrupted, you can replace it with its backup. This procedure is used to replace the current software version with the new software release (ASMI52_2.8x.img).
