Safety Precautions
Installation Precautions
WARNING:
•
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable, tilting, or
falling. Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as possible, with the heaviest
devices at the bottom and progressively lighter devices above.
•
Do not wall-mount any switch without checking for restrictions in the Installation and Getting Started
Guide at http://www.hpe.com/networking/ResourceCenter. Wall-mount the switch with network
ports facing up or down (away from or toward the floor). Do not wall-mount the switch with the
ventilation holes facing up or down.
CAUTION:
•
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the
switch to connect to the AC power source.
•
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch and/or power
supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch's current requirements. In addition, be
sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for
power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the switch and power supply.
•
When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible
in case the switch must be powered off.
•
Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To
determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the switch, and compare the total with the rating limit for the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power
connectors.
•
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specification.
•
Ensure that the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for
cooling.
