What precautionary messages mean

The types of precautionary messages used in NT documents include attention

boxes and danger, warning, and caution messages.

viii

297-8223-550 Standard 04.02 November 2000

An attention box identiﬁes information that is necessary for the proper

performance of a procedure or task or the correct interpretation of information

or data. Danger, warning, and caution messages indicate possible risks.

Examples of the precautionary messages follow.

ATTENTION - Information needed to perform a task

DANGER - Possibility of personal injury

WARNING - Possibility of equipment damage

ATTENTION

If the unused DS-3 ports are not deprovisioned before a DS-1/VT

Mapper is installed, the DS-1 trafﬁc will not be carried through the

DS-1/VT Mapper, even though the DS-1/VT Mapper is properly

provisioned.

DANGER

Risk of electrocution

Do not open the front panel of the inverter unless fuses F1,

F2, and F3 have been removed. The inverter contains

high-voltage lines. Until the fuses are removed, the

high-voltage lines are active, and you risk being

electrocuted.

WARNING

Damage to the backplane connector pins

Align the card before seating it, to avoid bending the

backplane connector pins. Use light thumb pressure to

align the card with the connectors. Next, use the levers on

the card to seat the card into the connectors.
