X8A Quick Installation Guide

Precautions
To ensure human safety and device security, comply with all the safety precautions marked on the device and instructed in the product document.
The "CAUTION", "WARNING", and "DANGER" marks in the product document do not cover all the safety precautions that must be obeyed. They are supplements to the safety precautions.

Installation and maintenance personnel must be trained to perform operations correctly and safely.
To prevent device damage or personal injury, ensure that all devices are grounded before being powered on.
Do not look into optical ports without eye protection. Otherwise, eyes may be hurt by laser beams.
Always wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap prior to contact with devices or before handling boards, subcards, or IC chips to prevent damage to sensitive components due to electrostatic
discharge from the human body. Ensure that the ESD wrist strap is properly grounded.

This document is developed to provide concise and quick instructions for device hardware installation. For details about the installation,
NOTE see the corresponding installation guide.
