The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low as
possible, with the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively
lighter devices installed above.
For safe operation, do not install the switch with the back face of the
switch (with the fan vents) facing either downward or upward.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then
use the power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power
source.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the switch, 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. The mark is your assurance that the power cord
can be used safely with the switch.
When installing the switch, note that 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 might exceed 55 ° C (131 ° F).
Make sure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is
not restricted.
