Caution To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 cm (3.0 in) of clearance at the front and back of the WAVE appliance.
Caution To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
- Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
- Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
- Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the WAVE appliance.
Caution To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
- Observe local occupation health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual handling.
- Obtain adequate assistance to lift and stabilize the chassis during installation or removal. The WAVE appliance is unstable when not fastened to the rails. When mounting the WAVE appliance in a rack, remove the power supplies and any other removable module to reduce the overall weight of the product.
Safety Guidelines

Safety Guidelines
General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions for using and working with the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694:
• Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product except as explained in your system 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 a trained and qualified service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your customer service representative:
– 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 system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet environment.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
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 WAVE appliance or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, 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 system components and peripheral 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.
Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the power strip ampere ratings limit.
Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.
To help protect your system components 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 system components’ 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.
