Safety recommendations
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read
Compliance and Safety Manual
provided with the switch and all safety recommendations in this chapter carefully before installation.
The recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
General safety recommendations
•
Keep the switch clean and dust-free.
•
Do not place the switch on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the switch.
•
Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
•
Keep the switch 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 switch 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.
•
Remove all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
•
Do not work alone when the switch has power.
•
Before performing a task that is hazardous when power is present, make sure the switch is
completely powered off.
Handling safety
CAUTION:
Do not hold the handle of a fan tray, a power module, or a card, or the air vents of the chassis to
move the switch. Any attempt to move the switch with these parts might cause equipment damage
and even bodily injury.
Remove power modules, cards, and all external cables, including the power cords, before moving
the chassis. As a best practice, use a mechanical lift, such as forklift truck, to move the chassis.
