Preparing for Installation
2.1
Safety Guidelines
Note
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, review the safety guidelines in this chapter before you
begin the installation.
The following safety precautions may not include all the potentially hazardous situations.
2.1.1
General Precautions
Install the equipment in a standard 19-inch EIA rack.
Keep the chassis clear and dust free. Avoid liquid inside the equipment.
Keep the equipment far away from heat sources.
Ensure that the rack and power distribution system are properly grounded.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and an ESD-preventive glove during installation and maintenance.
Avoid disconnecting or connecting the power cord before powering off the switch.
Keep the equipment away from walk areas.
Do not wear loose clothing or ornament that may get caught in the chassis.
Keep tools and components away from areas where you or others could trip over them.
You are advised to use UPS for guaranteed power protection.
Turn off all power supplies and unplug all power cords and cables before installing or removing the switch.
2.1.2
Chassis-Lifting Guidelines
The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently.
When lifting the chassis, balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.
To prevent personal injury or equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles of
power or fan module.
The equipment must be installed in access-restricted locations.
Avoid transporting the bare equipment. Instead, transport the equipment with its packing materials.
Do not create a stack containing a greater number of chassis than what is indicated on the packing carton
during transportation. Avoid placing the chassis side up or upside down.
Do not stack bare demo units. Separate demo units using foam blocks. Do not stack over three layers, each
with a height of up to 1 meter (3.28 ft.). Lay the foam blocks side-by-side.
2.1.3
Electricity Safety
Always observe the local regulations and standards. Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed
to operate the equipment.
Carefully check your work area for possible hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables, missing
