Safety Information

Maintenance Safety

When you perform maintenance procedures on Extreme Networks equipment, follow these
recommendations:
Use only original accessories and/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 Extreme Networks personnel. There are no customer
●
serviceable components in this system. Repairs to the system must be performed by an Extreme
Networks factory service technician.
Install all cables in a manner that avoids strain. Use tie wraps or other strain relief devices.
●

Cable Routing for LAN Systems

The Extreme Networks switches meet the requirements for LAN system equipment. LAN systems are
designed only for intra-building installations; that is, cable runs between devices must be in the same
building as the connected units.
This equipment can be connected between buildings if any one of the following conditions is true:
Cable runs between buildings are less then 140 feet long.
●
Cable runs between buildings are directly buried.
●
Cable runs between buildings are in an underground conduit, where a continuous metallic cable
●
shield or a continuous metallic conduit containing the cable is bonded to each building grounding
electrode system.
CAUTION
Failure follow these requirements for cable routing conditions may expose the user to electrical shock and expose
the unit to errors or damage.
WARNING!
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed
wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use
as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require
isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to
connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

PoE Devices

When connecting power over Ethernet (PoE) devices to a PoE switch, all connections between the PoE
device and the switch must remain inside the same building and use a low-voltage power distribution
system per IEEE 802.3af.
