THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL

STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE

OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant

to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required

to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not

installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital

devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television

communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its

peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits

controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

The Cisco implementation of TCP header compression is an adaptation of a program developed by the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) as part of UCB’s public

AC Power Disconnection Warning

Warning

Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units.

Statement 246

Jewelry Removal Warning

Warning

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings,

necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can

cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Statement 43

Wrist Strap Warning

Warning

During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly

touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Statement 94

Work During Lightning Activity Warning

Warning

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Statement

1001

Installation Instructions Warning

Warning

Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.

About This Guide

Chassis Warning for Rack-Mounting and Servicing

Warning

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special

precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure

your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.When mounting

this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom

of the rack.If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit

in the rack.

Statement 1006

Short-Circuit Protection Warning

Warning

This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building

installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.

Statement 1045

SELV Circuit Warning

Warning

To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network

voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some

LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

Statement 1021

Ground Conductor Warning

Warning

This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the

absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection

authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Statement 1024

Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels Warning

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)

that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not

operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Statement

1029

Product Disposal Warning

Warning

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Short-Circuit Protection Warning

Warning

This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building

installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.

Statement 1045

Compliance with Local and National Electrical Codes Warning

Warning

Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Statement 1074

TN Power Warning

Warning

The device is designed to work with TN power systems.

Statement 19

Multiple Power Cord

Warning

This unit has more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock when servicing a unit,

disconnect the power cord of the power strip that the unit is plugged into.

Statement 137

Circuit Breaker (15A) Warning

Warning

This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that

a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120

VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the

phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).

Statement 13

Grounded Equipment Warning

Warning

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during

normal use.

Statement 39

Safety Cover Requirement

Warning

The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover

installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose

a risk of fire and electrical hazards.

the button to light (because it is active or standalone), pushing the button does nothing. It stays lit. When the system software

causes the button to be off, pushing the button lights it. Pushing the button again will cause it to turn off again.
