Installation precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the 5300xl Switch Series devices:
WARNING:
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. The rack or cabinet should
be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Ensure a cover plate is installed on any empty switch power supply slot. A cover plate is required
for safe operation, and to ensure proper switch cooling.
To avoid energy and mechanical hazards, never allow any part of your body, jewelry, tool, or other
foreign object to enter any module or power supply slots.
NOTE:
Ensure 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 and 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. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the
switch and power supply.
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.
