Safety recommendations

To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety
recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible
hazardous condition.
•
Before cleaning the switch, remove all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch
with wet cloth or liquid.
•
Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
•
Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in
case of a fall.
•
Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the
switch free of obstruction.
•
Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before powering on the switch.
•
Make sure the power input voltage is as required by the power module.
•
To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the
switch is just powered off.
•
During switch installation, wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the strap makes good skin
contact and is reliably grounded.

Examining the installation site

The switch must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench. Make sure
the following requirements are met:
•
Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet vents for ventilation.
•
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.
•
Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure ambient air flows into
the switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.
•
Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the
neighboring device from entering the device.
•
The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
