Installation Preparations

Safety Instructions

To avoid damage to human body and devices, please read the following safety recommendations
carefully before installing the S7900E series. The recommendations do not cover every possible
hazardous condition.

General Instructions

Turn OFF all the powers and remove all the power cables before opening the chassis.
Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including ring and necklace, and so on) or any other things that
could get caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.

Electrical Safety

Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as ungrounded power extension cables,
missing safety grounds, and moist floors.
Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at once
in case accident occurs.
Unplug all the power cables and external cables before moving the chassis.
Better not maintain the equipment alone when it has been powered by electricity.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Do not place the switch on a moist area and avoid liquid flowing into the switch.

Handling Safety

The S7900E series are rather big and heavy, so follow the recommendations below when moving them.
Turn off all the powers and remove all the power cables before opening the chassis.
Do not move the switch alone. Work with another person.
Move the switch slowly and stably. Never move suddenly or twist your body.
Move the switch at stable and consistent paces with your peer. Keep balance of your body.
Hold the handles on both sides of the chassis, instead of power handles or the vent of the chassis when
moving the switch. Since the power handle or the vent is not designed to bear the weight of the entire
chassis, the switch may get damaged or even your body may get hurt if you hold these parts to move
the switch.
