The following warnings and cautions pertain throughout this guide.
Warning Trained service personnel only.
This EMC product has more than one power supply cord. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, disconnect all power supply cords before servicing.
Ground-circuit continuity is vital for safe operation of the machine. Never operate
the machine with grounding conductors disconnected. Remember to reconnect any
grounding conductors removed for or during any installation procedure.
Attention Resérvé au personnel autorisé.
Cet appareil EMC comporte plus d'un cordon d'alimentation. Afin de prévenir les
chocs électriques, débranchez tous les cordons d'alimentation avant de faire le
dépannage.
Un circuit de terre continu est essentiel en vue du fonctionnement sécurisé de
l'appareil. Ne mettez jamais l'appareil en marche lorsque le conducteur de mise à la
terre est débranché.
Warnung Nur für Fachpersonal.
Dieses EMC Produkt verfügt über mehrere elektrische Netzanschlüsse. Zur
Vermeidung eines elektrischen Schlages sind vor Servicearbeiten an der
Stromversorgung alle Netzanschlüsse zu trennen.
Kontinuierliche Erdung ist notwendig während der gesamten Betriebsdauer des
Gerätes. Es ist unzulässig das Gerät ohne Erdung zu betreiben. Gerät muss geerdet
werden, bevor es am Stromnetz angeschlossen wird.
Additional warnings
and cautions
Before attempting to service the EMC hardware described in this document, observe
the following additional warnings and cautions:
WARNING
The hardware enclosure contains no user-serviceable parts, so it should not be moved
or opened for any reason by untrained persons. If the hardware needs to be relocated
or repaired, only qualified personnel familiar with safety procedures for electrical
equipment and EMC hardware should access components inside the unit or move the
unit.

Warnings and Cautions
WARNING
This product operates at high voltages. To protect against physical harm, power off
the system whenever possible while servicing.
WARNING
In case of fire or other emergency, isolate the system's power involved and alert
appropriate personnel.
CAUTION
!
Trained personnel are advised to exercise great care at all times when working on
the EMC hardware.
Remember to:
◆Remove rings, watches, or other jewelry and neckties before you begin any
procedures.
◆Use caution near any moving part and any part that may start unexpectedly
such as fans, motors, solenoids, etc.
◆Always use the correct tools for the job.
◆Always use the correct replacement parts.
◆Keep all paperwork, including incident reports, up to date, complete, and
accurate.
Static precautions EMC incorporates state-of-the-art technology in its designs, including the use of LSI
and VLSI components. These chips are very susceptible to damage caused by static
discharge and need to be handled accordingly.
CAUTION
!
Before handling printed circuit boards or other parts containing LSI and/or VLSI
components, observe the following precautions:
◆Store all printed circuit boards in antistatic bags.
◆Use a ground strap whenever you handle a printed circuit board.
◆Unless specifically designed for nondisruptive replacement, never plug or
unplug printed circuit boards with the power on. Severe component damage
may result.
