Using standard fiber handling and cleaning procedures is critical when installing optical networking
equipment.
Eye safety precautions should be employed when handling fiber optic patchcords.
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature—If installed in a closed or multi-module rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient
temperature. Consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.
Reduced Air Flow—Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Do not block ventilation
holes beyond what is allowed with supplied mounting brackets.
