Safety Guidelines

Follow these safety guidelines to ensure successful and safe operation of
the switch:
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size must conform to the
electrical rating on the switch nameplate.
• The ambient air temperature near the switch must not exceed 40 degrees
Celsius. This is particularly important to verify if the switch is installed
in a closed or multi-rack assembly.
• The volume of air flow available to the switch must be at least 50 cubic
feet per minute, and all air vents should have a minimum of 1.5 inches
of airspace.
Follow these safety guidelines for a rack-mount installation:
• The rack space should be 1U high, 19 inches wide, and 26 inches deep.
• All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit
ground connection. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
• The additional weight of the switch should not unbalance the rack or
exceed the rack's weight limits.
• The rack should be mechanically secured to insure stability in the event
of an earthquake.
For safety reasons, when installing this product in an
