Do not install the SLB unit in a rack in such a way that a hazardous stability condition results
because of uneven loading. A drop or fall could cause injury.
The ambient temperature (Tma) inside the rack may be greater than the room ambient
temperature. Make sure to install the SLB branch office manager in an environment with an
ambient temperature less than the maximum operating temperature of the SLB unit. (See
Technical Specifications on page 32
.)
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Before operating the SLB branch office manager, make sure the SLB unit is secured to the
rack.
Port Connections
Only connect the network port to an Ethernet network that supports 10Base-T/100Base-T.
Only connect device ports to equipment with serial ports that support EIA-232 (formerly RS-
232C).
Only connect the console port to equipment with serial ports that support EIA-232 (formerly RS-

To configure the SLB branch office manager using the network, or to monitor serial
devices on the network, connect at least one SLB network port to a network. See
Connecting to Network Ports (on page 36)
