2.1.1 Safety precautions
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by
improper use of the S1216/1224, take the precautions listed below:
z
Before cleaning the switch, unplug the switch connector first.
Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.
z
Do not place the switch near water or in any damp area.
Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.
z
Keep the switch to operate in a clean environment. Heavy
dust will not only affect the life span of the device, but also
cause communication failure due to the static absorption in
the environment.
z
The S1216/1224 performs the cooling with a fan as it
generates a large amount of heat. Keep the switch in good
ventilation condition. Do not place one switch on another.
z
The switch can only operate normally under proper voltage
input. Make sure that the operating voltage is consistent with
that labeled on the switch.
z
Do not open the chassis while the switch is in operation. Do
not open the chassis if not necessary, even when the switch
is not powered on.
