Product Safety Warnings
Read the product safety warnings before installing or
services a Palo Alto Networks firewall or appliance.
To avoid personal injury or death for yourself and others and to avoid damage
to your Palo Alto Networks hardware, be sure you understand and prepare for the
following warnings before you install or service the hardware. You will also see warning
messages throughout the hardware reference where potential hazards exist.
All Palo Alto Networks products with laser-based optical
interfaces comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
The following safety warnings apply to all Palo Alto Networks firewalls and
appliances, unless a specific hardware model is specified.
- When installing or servicing a Palo Alto Networks firewall or appliance hardware component that has exposed circuits, ensure that you wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap. Before handling the component, make sure the metal contact on the wrist strap is touching your skin and that the other end of the strap is connected to earth ground.French Translation: Lorsque vous installez ou que vous intervenez sur un composant matériel de pare-feu ou de dispositif Palo Alto Networks qui présente des circuits exposés, veillez à porter un bracelet antistatique. Avant de manipuler le composant, vérifiez que le contact métallique du bracelet antistatique est en contact avec votre peau et que l’autre extrémité du bracelet est raccordée à la terre.
- Use grounded and shielded Ethernet cables (when applicable) to ensure agency compliance with electromagnetic compliance (EMC) regulations.French Translation: Des câbles Ethernet blindés reliés à la terre doivent être utilisés pour garantir la conformité de l'organisme aux émissions électromagnétiques (CEM).
- (ION 7000 and ION 9000 only) At least two people are recommended for unpacking, handling, and relocating the heavier firewalls.
- Do not connect a supply voltage that exceeds the input range of the firewall or appliance. For details on the electrical range, refer to electrical specifications in the hardware reference for your firewall or appliance.French Translation: Veillez à ce que la tension d’alimentation ne dépasse pas la plage d’entrée du pare-feu ou du dispositif. Pour plus d’informations sur la mesure électrique, consulter la rubrique des caractéristiques électriques dans la documentation de votre matériel de pare-feu ou votre dispositif.
- WAN and LAN ethernet ports are suitable for interconnection to other local device ethernet ports. These ports are not designed for direct connection to Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) ports or interfaces. In addition, copper-based WAN ports, LAN ports, and copper-based modular transceivers are not rated to connect to Telecommunications Outside Plant (OSP) cabling.
- (Devices with serviceable batteries only) Do not replace a battery with an incorrect battery type; doing so can cause the replacement battery to explode. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.French Translation: Ne remplacez pas la batterie par une batterie de type non adapté, cette dernière risquerait d’exploser. Mettez au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.
- I/O ports are intended for intra-building connections only and not intended for OSP (Outside Plant) connections or any network connections subject to external voltage surge events.
