When using this Ethernet Switch to design systems, use it after applying
appropriate measures such as setting up redundant configurations.
Communication failures might be generated due to causes such as malfunctions or
misoperations while the Ethernet Switch is being used.
When using this Ethernet Switch for applications which require extremely high
reliability, be careful to expend all possible means to ensure safety and
reliability.
This Ethernet Switch was not designed nor manufactured with the intention that it
be used for applications (in use with railways, aviation, and medical care, etc.
where the influence rate due to communication failures is extremely high in regard
to systems that directly affect systems and human lives) which require extremely
high reliability.
Be aware of glitches which are caused in the usage environments such as
age-related degradation, etc.
This may vary depending upon conditions such as utilisation rates and usage
environments, but performance might decrease due to the age-related
degradation, etc. of components. It is recommended that this Ethernet Switch be
replaced about five years after it has been installed.
Be careful in regards to environmental restrictions whereby the Ethernet
Switch can be used.
Please isolate the business power lines and communication lines. Isolate distribution
lines and other distribution lines, and low current power lines, optical fiber cables,
metallic water conduits, and gas conduits, etc. Noise may be generated in the
communication lines which might cause communication glitches.
CAUTION
