Extreme Networks strongly recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power 
Supply (UPS) that supports the Summit WM3700 wireless LAN controller power 
rating. Not using a UPS can result in data loss or equipment damage due to a power 
surge or power failure.

Verify that the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during the 
operation of the equipment.

Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces.

Do not install this equipment or work with its power circuits during thunderstorms 
or other weather conditions that could cause a power surge.
