connectors and cables, connect other network devices to the switch ports.
Never attempt to mount a chassis into a rack by yourself.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet must be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively
lighter devices installed above. The rack or cabinet must be
adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or
falling over.
High leakage current can be caused by multiple power supplies.
For this reason, ensure that each power supply is connected to a
separate branch circuit with a proper earth connection before you
connect it. The grounding screws are located on the back side of
the switch chassis.
Never operate the switch with exposed power supply or module
slots. Blank slot covers must be installed in any empty slots to
ensure safe operation and proper cooling. You can leave the PC
card slot in the management module exposed, but do not insert
any objects other than the appropriate PC flash RAM card into the
PC card slot.
Never operate the switch if the chassis becomes wet or if the area
in which the chassis is installed is wet.
To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part of
your body, jewelry, tool, or other foreign object to enter any
module or power supply slots.
The fiber optic connectors on the ProCurve Switch 8100fl are
Type 1 lasers. Avoid looking directly into connected optical
connectors or optical fiber cables.
