Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections
are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such
interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location
and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of
the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key
or other means of security. Statement 1072
Warning

Installation Guidelines
When determining where to install the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:
•
Clearance to the switch front and rear panel meets these conditions:
◦
Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.
◦
Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
◦
AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on the switch rear panel.
•
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting
fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
•
Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
•
Temperature around the unit does not exceed 113°F (45°C). If the switch is installed in a closed or
multirack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than normal room temperature.
