Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.
Electricity safety

Clear the work area of possible hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables, missing
safety grounds, and moist floors.
•
Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at
once in case accident occurs.

Do not work alone when the switch has power.

Do not hold the handle of a fan tray, a power supply, or the back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of the
chassis to move the switch. Any attempt to carry the switch with these parts might cause equipment
damage or even bodily injury.
