Cisco IP/TV 3400 Series Servers User Guide

OL-4467-01

Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use
antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.

Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Rack Installation Safety Guidelines

Before installing IP/TV Server in a rack, review the following guidelines:

Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.

Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).

Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper
airflow.

Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.

Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.

Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.

Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.

Connect the IP/TV Server to a properly grounded outlet.

Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of
rack-mounted devices.
