This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital devices,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own
expense. Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance to FCC part 15 could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

8.2.2 European Union

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

8.3 General Safety Guidelines

8.3.1 Installation Environment

The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the FortiSwitch-1000 during operation is
40 degrees C.
Since a chassis can be installed into a multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of 40 deg C.
Installation of the chassis in a rack assembly should be such that the amount of air flow required
for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised (that is, no blockage of intake or exhaust
registers). A minimum of 6 inches of clearance is required from the front and rear of the
FortiSwitch-1000 to ensure adequate air flow through system.

8.3.2 Mechanical

Mounting of the FortiSwitch-1000 in the rack assembly should be such that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
