• Leave 10.2 cm (4 in) minimum of clearance on all vented sides of the equipment to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation. Restricting airflow can damage the equipment or cause a fire. • Ensure that nothing rests on your equipment’s cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over. • Keep your equipment away from radiators and heat sources.
PAGE 3
• Do not operate the equipment within a separate enclosure unless adequate intake and exhaust ventilation are provided on the enclosure that adhere to the guidelines listed above. • Do not restrict airflow into the equipment by blocking any vents or air intakes. • Avoid placing loose papers underneath your equipment. • Do not push any objects into the air vents or openings of your equipment. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

• Do not use AC powered equipment during an electrical storm. Battery powered devices may be used if all cables have been disconnected. • Before you clean your equipment, disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Clean your equipment with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquids or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances. • Clean the air vents on the front, back, and sides of the system with a clean, damp cloth.

System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians. Installing System Components in Your Rack CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.
