Safety Warnings Before installing your router, consider the following safety guidelines:
■ Switch off the power supply before connecting the cables.
■ Keep the router far away from any heat source.
■ To ensure normal heat dissipation, do not stack routers.
■ Do not keep a router in a damp place, and prevent liquid from getting into the
router.
■ Ensure that the neutral point of the power is grounded properly, to avoid
personal injury.
■ Ensure that the power is off before plugging or unplugging the interface cards,
modules and cables of the router.
■ Before removing the chassis, disconnect all the power cords and external
cables.
■ To avoid damage to the router, connect all the cables correctly. Never connect
telephone cables (including the ISDN lines) to the console or AUX port.
