Safety Guidelines
Before you begin installing the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance, review the safety guidelines

yourself or damaging the equipment.
In addition, before replacing, configuring, or maintaining the appliance, review the safety warnings

General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your appliance:
• Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product except as explained in your
appliance documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol
with a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments
should be serviced only by an authorized service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace
the part or contact your authorized service provider:
–
The power cable or plug is damaged.
–
An object has fallen into the product.
–
The product has been exposed to water.
–
The product has been dropped or damaged.
–
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your appliance away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your appliance, and never operate the product in a wet environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your appliance. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with other equipment approved by Cisco.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source
indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service representative or local power company.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your
appliance or for any AC-powered option intended for your appliance, purchase a power cable that is
approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage
and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the
cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the appliance and power cables into properly grounded
electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper
grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.
• To help protect your appliance from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power,
use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
