2.1 Preparation for Installation
2.1.1 Safety Precaution
The following precautions should be followed to avoid equipment damage and personal injury caused by
improper use:
Power source should be removed before cleaning switches. Do not use wet rags to wipe switches
and clean switches with liquid.
Do not place switches near water or in a wet environment, and prevent water or moisture from
entering switch chassis.
Do not place switches on an unstable case or table, since the dropping would cause serious harm to
switches.
Maintain good indoor ventilation and clear airholes of switches.
Switches shall work normally under correct voltage, so make sure the operating voltage agrees with
the voltage marked on switches.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove its enclosure when a switch is working, and don’t
do so at will even if it is not powered.
Anti-static gloves must be worn when replacing interface board to prevent static electricity from
damaging veneer.
2.1.2 Installation Site
To ensure a normal work environment, 9171 series routing switches should have the following requirements
for workplace:
Ensure that there are some spaces at the inlet and outlet of switch for heat dispersion of switch
chassis.
Ensure that rack and working platform have good ventilation and heat dispersion systems.
Ensure that rack and working platform are firm enough to support the weight of a switch and its
accessories for installation.
Ensure rack and working platform are well grounded.
