Warranty Information

Software and Hardware Limited Warranties

Lucent Technologies provides a 90-day limited software warranty, and a one-

year limited hardware warranty on this product. Refer to the Software License

and Limited Warranty Agreement and the Lucent Technologies InterNetworking Sys-

tems Global Warranty that accompanied your package for more information.

Warranty Warnings

!

CAUTION:

Modifying or tampering with PSAX chassis components may void your

warranty. Any modification to this equipment not expressly authorized

by Lucent Technologies may void your granted authority to operate such

equipment.

!

CAUTION:

When inserting modules into the chassis, slide them gently, not force-

fully. Excessive force may cause the modules to be seated improperly in

the chassis, and result in possible damage to the module or the chassis.

Install or remove modules one at a time. Doing this aids in preventing

the PSAX system from indicating any erroneous failure messages, and

allows the PSAX system to reinitialize and display the accurate configu-

ration of the module that is inserted.

Safety Warnings and Information

When installing and operating the 4-Port Ethernet module, follow the safety

guidelines provided in the printed PacketStar

®

PSAX Safety Guidelines, which

accompanies this product, to help prevent serious personal injury and dam-

age to the 4-Port Ethernet module. Please read all warnings and instructions

supplied before beginning installation or configuration of this module. In

addition to the general safety information provided, you should also refer to

the text in the PacketStar PSAX user and installation guides for other impor-

tant safety information and procedures.
