Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
-
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
-
Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified
-
service personnel have access to the equipment.
Establish at least 3 inches clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct
•
the air intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away
from heat sources.
Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power
•
consumption and component heat dissipation specifications.
Make sure that your power supplies meet the site DC power or AC power requirements of
•
all network equipment.
Maintenance Safety
When you perform maintenance procedures on your equipment, follow these recommendations:
Use only original accessories or components approved for use with this system. Failure
•
to follow these instructions may damage the equipment or violate required safety and
EMC regulations.
The chassis cover should only be removed by NETGEAR personnel. This system
•
contains no customer serviceable components. Repairs to the system must be performed
by a factory service technician.
To remove power from the system, you must unplug all power cords from wall outlets.
•
The power cord is the disconnect device to the main power source.
Disconnect all power before removing the back panel of any NETGEAR switch, unless
•
otherwise instructed by a product specific maintenance procedure.
Disconnect all power cords before working near power supplies, unless otherwise
•
instructed by a product-specific maintenance procedure.
When you handle modules, optical devices, power supplies, or other modular
•
accessories put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap to reduce the risk of electronic damage
to the equipment. Connect the other end of the strap to the ESD connector on the front of
the chassis. Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently attached to the chassis
so that it is always available when you need to handle ESD-sensitive components.
Install all cables in a manner that avoids strain. Use tie wraps or other strain relief
•
devices.
Replace a power cord immediately if it shows any signs of damage.
•
