Page 61 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Warning Power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize equipment, disconnect the power cord.  E3 Warning Class I Equipment. This equipment must be earthed. The power plug must be connected to a properly wired earth ground socket outlet.
Page 62  E25 Warning The chassis may be heavy and awkward to lift. Allied Telesis recommends that you get assistance when mounting the chassis in an equipment rack.  E28 Note Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the device.
Page 63 Series Installation Guide for Stand-alone Switches Note If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Page 64 Chapter 3: Beginning the Installation Warning The temperature of an operational SFP or SFP+ transceiver may exceed 70° C (158° F).
