
To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power
supply is set o match the power available at your location:
o
110 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries
such as south Korea and Taiwan
o
100, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100, 60Hz in western Japan
o
230v, 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

The peripheral power cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not
use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.

Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products
plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for te
extension cable or power strip.

To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a
surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Rack Mount Safety Instructions
This information applies to the installation of all NETGEAR rack mount products

Ambient operating temperature. If the switch is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the
ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of
the room. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
rated ambient temperature.

Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation
is not compromised.

Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to
uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment's connection to the power supply circuitry and the effect that
any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Consider
equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

Reliable grounding. This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at all times. To ensure this,
ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections
to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips).

Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable you to open the front
door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches) to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in
servicing.
