Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

2.1 Safety Precautions
To avoid any device impairment or bodily injury caused by
improper use, observe these rules:
Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power plug from the
switch first. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.
Do not place the switch near water or any damp area.
Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.
Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The
switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall.
Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep
the ventilation vents of the switch free of obstruction.
Make sure that the operating voltage is the same as that
labeled on the switch.
Do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or
when electrical hazards are present to avoid electrical
shocks.
When replacing interface cards, wear ESD-preventive
gloves to avoid damaging the cards.
2.2 Installation Site
The S5100 series must be used indoors. You can mount your
switch in a rack or on a tabletop/workbench, but make sure:
Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents
for ventilation.
