Installing a FastIron Compact Switch
Installation precautions
General precautions
All fiber-optic interfaces use Class 1 lasers.
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed 40o C
(104o F).
Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted.
Never leave tools inside the chassis.
Lifting precautions
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
Do not use the handles on the power supply units to lift or carry a Brocade device.
Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the
bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
Power precautions
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of the
circuits fails.
