In thunderstorm weather, a sudden strong current may damage the switch. To protect your switch
from lightning strike or strong current, please:
Make sure the switch, rack, installation desktop, and power socket on the wall all are
well-grounded.
Route the switch cables properly.
If you need to route cables outdoors, it is advised to use a lightning arrester.
