Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
•
Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.
Electricity safety
•
Clear the work area of possible electricity hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables,
missing safety grounds, and wet floors.
•
Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation so you can quickly shut power
off when an electrical accident occurs.
•
Unplug all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
•
Do not work alone when the switch has power.
•
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

injury.
