Installation Guidelines and Safety Warnings

This section includes the basic installation guidelines and safety warning statements. Read this section before
you start the installation procedure. Translations of the warning statements appear in the RCSI guide on
Cisco.com.

• The operating environment must be within the ranges listed in the "Environmental Specifications" section.

• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting

fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.

• Airflow around the device and through the vents is unrestricted

• Humidity around the device does not exceed 95 percent.

• Altitude at the installation site is not greater than 10,000 feet.

• Do not place any items on the top of the device.

• For 10/100/1000 fixed ports, the cable length from a switch to a connected device cannot exceed 328

feet (100 meters).

• Clearance to the front and rear panel meets these conditions:

• Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.

• Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
