Installation Precautions
CAUTION:
The rack or cabinet housing the switch should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
CAUTION:
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded.
CAUTION:
Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or
removing covers marked with a triangular symbol with a lighting bolt may cause electrical shock. These components are to be serviced by trained
service technicians only.
CAUTION:
Ensure the power cable, extension cable, and/or plug is not damaged.
CAUTION:
Ensure the product is not exposed to water.
CAUTION:
Do not push foreign objects into the device, as it may cause a fire or electric shock.
CAUTION:
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal equipment.
CAUTION:
Ensure 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 switches installed on the same circuit as the switch. Compare this total
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the switch, near their AC power connectors.
NOTICE:
Ensure the device is not exposed to radiators and/or heat sources.
NOTICE:
Ensure the cooling vents are not blocked.
NOTICE:
Use the device only with approved equipment.
NOTICE:
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40ºC (122ºF).
NOTICE:
Ensure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the switch is not restricted.
