Starting the Switch, on page 16 Safety Before you install, operate, or service the switch, see the Regulatory, Compliance, and Safety Information for the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series for important Safety Information. Warning Statement 1071—Warning Definition IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger.
If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures. Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switches. These switches can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.
Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following information ready: • Invoice number of shipper (see the packing slip) • Model and serial number of the damaged unit • Description of damage Cisco Nexus 3400-S Hardware Installation Guide...
