CAUTION! Risk of personal injury.

The cabinets are heavy. Additional personnel or lifting equipment may be needed
when the cabinets are moved, unpacked, or lined up. In addition, follow any local
regulations applicable to the installation.
NOTICE:
Incorrect cables and seals may not provide secured weather protection. In outdoor
installations, including the outdoor cabinet, use only tested IP55 class outdoor cables
with seals provided by NSN. This is also recommended for indoor installations. Store
all unused seals for later use.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may damage the modules. Wear an ESD wrist strap or
use a corresponding method when handling the modules.
Overbending the optical damages the cables and can detach or damage the connectors.
Do not bend the optical cables beyond the minimum radius of 70 mm.
