  Preparing for Installation—Details
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, extension cord, 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. If you must use 
an extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.
Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all 
products plugged into the extension cord or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the extension 
cord or power strip ampere ratings limit.
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).
Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they 
cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your appliance cables or power 
cord.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site 
modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.
Safety with Equipment
The following guidelines will help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. However, this list does 
not include all potentially hazardous situations, so be alert.
Warning
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004
