This symbol on an RJ-45 receptacle indicates a network interface connection. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug telephone or telecommunications connectors into this receptacle. This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot component. If this surface is contacted, the potential for injury exists.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or burns after removing the energy pack: • Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the energy pack. • Do not short external contacts. • Do not dispose of the energy pack in fire or water. After power is disconnected, battery voltage might still be present for 1s to 160s.
Warnings and cautions WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them. CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly grounded (earthed) before beginning any installation procedure.
