n
Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions in the latest
Installation and Getting Started
Guide
. Otherwise, you may void the switch warranty.
n
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power source by using
the power cord supplied with the switch. For more information on power cords, see
.
n
When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and be easily accessible in case the switch
must be powered off.
n
Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a tripping hazard.
n
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its specification.
See the environmental operating temperature information in the
section of this
guide.
n
Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine
the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same
circuit as the switch. Then compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings
for a device are usually printed near the device AC power connectors.
n
Do not block any ventilation openings on the front or rear of the switch.
n
Leave a minimum of 6 inches (15.24 cm) for cooling at the front and back of the switch. For the air flow direction,
see the
section of this guide.
n
If a power supply must be removed and reinstalled, wait at least 5 seconds before reinstallation. Otherwise,
damage to the switch may occur. The power supply needs this time to bleed off any retained power.
n
The switch port side transceiver slots support SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers.

Grounding the Switch
Read the following grounding guidelines prior to instaling your switch.
n
Ths equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence
of suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if
you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
n
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground must always be made first and disconnected last.
n
This equipment is intended to be grounded to comply with emission and immunity requirements. Ensure that
