A Safety Information
WARNING!
Read the following safety information thoroughly before installing any BlackDiamond 10K or Aspen switch. Failure to
follow this safety information can lead to personal injury or damage to the equipment.

General Information

Installation, maintenance, and removal of a switch, chassis, or any of its components must be performed
by trained and qualified service personnel only! Trained and qualified service personnel are persons
having appropriate technical training and experience necessary to be aware of the hazards to which
they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves and/or
other persons.
The following should be considered before unpacking all equipment:
Install the equipment in a secured, enclosed, and restricted-access area, ensuring that only trained
and qualified service personnel have access to the equipment.
Install the equipment only in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area that is free of
airborne materials that can conduct electricity. Too much humidity can potentially cause a fire. Too
little humidity can potentially produce electrical shock and/or fire.
When handling the equipment on modular switches, put on the ESD-preventive wrist strap to
reduce the risk of electronic damage to the equipment. 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.
The wall socket outlet must be near the unit and easily accessible. You can remove power from the
unit only by disconnecting the power cable from the outlet. This unit operates under Safety Extra
Low Voltage (SELV) conditions according to the IEC 950 standard. The conditions are maintained
only if the equipment to which it is connected also operates under SELV conditions.
The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must have a configuration
for mating with an EN60320/IEC320 appliance inlet.
France and Peru only:
This unit cannot be powered from IT† supplies. If your supplies are of IT type, this unit must be
powered by 230 V (2P+T) via an isolation transformer ratio 1:1, with the secondary connection
point labeled Neutral and connected directly to ground.
Building codes vary worldwide; therefore, Extreme Networks strongly recommends that you consult an
electrical contractor to ensure proper equipment grounding and power distribution for your specific
installation.
