Panasonic Electric Works Networks Co., Ltd.
Denotes that “Minor injuries might be sustained, or property damage might occur”.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any problems occurring when the following conditions are not satisfied.
Observe the following items when using the product.
（1） Use the bundled power cord （AC 100 – 240 V specifications）.
Deviation could lead to electric shock, malfunction, and/or equipment failure.
（2） Unplug the power cord in case of equipment failure.
Deviation, such as keeping connected for a long time, could lead to fire.
（3） Be sure to connect the ground cable.
Otherwise this might cause electrical shocks, misoperations and malfunctions.
Connect the Ethernet Switch via the supplied power cord to the outlet which is connected to the ground.
If the outlet is not connected to a ground, connect the ground cable to the ground terminal screw.
（4） Connect the power cord firmly to the power port.
Otherwise this might cause electrical shocks and malfunctions.
（5） Unplug the power cord if the STATUS/ECO LED (Status/ECO mode) or FAN LED (Fan sensor)
blinks in orange (system fault).
Deviation, such as keeping connected for a long time, could lead to fire.
（6） Handle the Ethernet Switch carefully so that fingers or hands may not be damaged by twisted pair port, SFP extension slot,
console port or power cord hook block.
（7） When mounting the Ethernet Switch on a wall, mount it securely using wall mount brackets to prevent the Ethernet Switch from
falling due its weight and that of the connection cables.
Deviation could lead to falling, injury and/or equipment failure.
（8） If the device is going to be mounted onto a rack, use the 2 installation brackets(for 19-inch rack mounting) which include
the 19 inch rack mounting brackets (for 1 rack) and the 8 screws (for the rack installation brackets and for
the main unit connections), and install the installation brackets into each of the 4 horizontal holes in the device,
then securely secure it and set it up.
If it is not firmly secured, then deviation could lead to falling, injury and/or equipment failure.
（9） Up to two Ethernet Switches can be connected by using the connection brackets and connection bracket screws.
Attach the connection brackets to the connection bracket screw holes on the front and back panels to securely fix the Switching
Hubs before installation.
If the Ethernet Switches are not fixed securely, they may fall, leading to injury and/or equipment failure.
（10） Check whether the optical fiber cable connectors are contaminated with dust, etc.
This might cause the optical signal to not be transmitted normally, and cause misoperations and malfunctions. If they are
contaminated, make sure to clean them off, then connect them to the optical fiber ports.
（11） This Ethernet Switch is to be periodically serviced in order to maintain its performance.
Please choose a product administrator, and have them be sure to implement periodic maintenance. When doing maintenance,
check the inspection chart that is posted on our website which has the requisite items listed on it.
（12） When using this Ethernet Switch to design systems, use it after applying appropriate measures such as setting up redundant
configurations.
Communications failures might be generated due to causes such as malfunctions or misoperations while the Ethernet Switch is
being used.
（13） 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. whereas the influence rate due to communications failures is extremely high in regard to systems
that directly affect systems and human lives） which require extremely high reliability.
