To avoid possible danger, read and follow the following safety statement.
  • S017
    moving parts
    CAUTION
    Hazardous moving fan blades nearby. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
  • S033
    240VA shock hazard
    CAUTION

    Hazardous energy present. Voltages with hazardous energy might cause heating when shorted with metal, which might result in spattered metal, burns, or both.

Attention
  • Read the Installation Guidelines to ensure that you work safely.
  • Static electricity that is released to internal solution components when the solution is powered-on might cause the solution to halt, which might result in the loss of data.
