● Keep this manual handy after reading it, so that it is available for later reference.
● Operate the Switch according to the instructions and procedures provided in this manual.
● Heed all warnings and cautions on the Switch and in this manual.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage, including damage to the Switch.
Unauthorized operations
Do not attempt to perform any operations that are not described in this manual.
In the event of a problem with the Switch, turn off the power, disconnect the power plug from the outlet,
and then contact the maintenance personnel.
Using common sense
The warnings and cautions provided on the Switch and in this manual have been selected after careful
consideration. Nevertheless, there is always the possibility of the unexpected occurring. Therefore,
while using a Switch, stay alert and use common sense in addition to following all instructions.

Safety-2
■ If anything seems wrong, immediately turn off the power.
If smoke or an unusual smell is emanating from the Switch, or if liquid is spilled into the Switch
or a foreign object falls into the Switch, immediately turn off the Switch as described below.
Continuing operation could result in a fire or electric shock.
● If the Switch has an AC power supply unit, unplug all power cables.
● If the Switch has a DC power supply unit, turn off all the circuit breakers of the distribution
board that supply power to the Switch.
■ Install an outlet near the Switch.
Install an outlet near the Switch so that the power plug can be easily unplugged. Do not place
any objects around the outlet.
■ Install the distribution board near the Switch.
Install the distribution board in the same room as the Switch or in a neighboring room to
ensure easy access and operation.
■ Do not remove the Switch cover.
Do not remove the Switch cover. Doing so could result in an electric shock.
■ Do not allow any foreign objects to get into the Switch.
Do not insert or drop any foreign objects, such as anything metallic or flammable, through the
Switch's ventilation slots. Doing so could result in a fire or electric shock.
■ Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the Switch.
Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the Switch. Doing so could result in electrical shock, fire,
or burns. Due to the presence of many high-voltage components inside the power unit in
particular, touching them can be extremely dangerous.
■ Do not subject the Switch to shocks.
Do not subject the Switch to excessive shocks such as dropping or hitting. If the Switch is
dropped or any of its components are damaged, power off the Switch as described below and
then contact the maintenance personnel. Using the Switch in that state could result in a fire or
electric shock.
● If the Switch has an AC power supply unit, unplug all power cables.
● If the Switch has a DC power supply unit, turn off all the circuit breakers of the distribution
board that supply power to the Switch.

Safety-3
■ Do not place any objects on the Switch.
Do not place any metallic object such as a small pin or a paper clip or any container with a
liquid, such as a vase or a flowerpot, on the Switch. Liquid or metallic objects falling into the
Switch could result in a fire or electric shock.
Do not place any optional modules or objects on the Switch. Optional modules or objects may
slip, resulting in injury. Also, depending on the weight of an object placed on the Switch, it may
cause the Switch to malfunction.
■ Use the Switch only with the indicated power supply.
Do not use the Switch at any voltage other than the indicated voltage. Depending on the
voltage, the internal components may be damaged, overheated, or deteriorated, resulting in a
fire or electric shock.
Also, use a power outlet that is compatible with the voltage and power cord you are using.
Using any other outlet may result in an electric shock.
■ Ensure that the capacity of incoming current to the distribution board is greater than the
operating current of the circuit breaker on the distribution board.
Ensure that the capacity of incoming current to the distribution board is greater than the
operating current of the circuit breaker on the distribution board. If it is not, the circuit breaker
might not operate properly in the event of a failure, which could result in a fire.
■ Ground the Switch.
● If the Switch has an AC power supply unit, always use a grounded power outlet. Using the
Switch without grounding could result in an electric shock as well as failures due to electrical
noise.
● If the Switch has a DC power supply unit, connect a grounding cable to ground the Switch.
Using the Switch without grounding could result in an electric shock as well as failures due
to electrical noise.
■ Use a DC power facility for which the primary side and the secondary side are insulated.
When using DC power, use an electric shock risk-free power facility for which the primary side
and the secondary side are insulated. Using a power facility that is not insulated could result in
electric shock.
■ Connecting and disconnecting a DC power cable must be performed by a trained
technician or maintenance personnel.
Connecting or disconnecting a DC power cable to or from a power facility must be performed
by a trained technician or maintenance personnel. Terminal connections are required for
connection of the DC power cable to the power facility. For this reason, incorrect handling of
the DC power cable could result in a fire or electric shock.
■ Turn off the circuit breaker of the distribution board before connecting or disconnecting
the DC power cable.
Turn off the circuit breaker of the distribution board before connecting or disconnecting the DC
power cable to or from the power facility. Connecting or disconnecting the DC power cable
while the circuit breaker is turned on could result in an electric shock.

■ Observe the specified stripping length of the sheath for DC power cables.
Adjust the stripping length of the sheath for the power cable (the switch end) to the specified
length. For details on the stripping length, see "2.3.3 -48 V DC power facility". If the striping
length is too short, connection might fail or the cable might become disconnected. Conversely,
if the striping length is too long, the core will be exposed, risking a fire or electric shock.
■ Use the Switch indoors.
Use the Switch indoors. Also, make sure that all interface cables to be connected to the
Switch are indoor-wired. If an outdoor-wired cable is to be connected to the Switch, ensure
that lightning protection measures have been taken before connection.
■ Handle the power cable carefully.
● Please use the designated power cable and pay attention to the following points when
handling it. Improper handling may cause the copper wire to become exposed, resulting in
overheating due to short circuit or partial breakage, and potentially leading to an electric
shock or fire.
･Do not place any object on the cable.
･Do not pull the cable.
･Do not press the cable.
･Do not bend the cable.
･Do not twist the cable.
･Do not process the cable.
･Do not use the cable near heating
appliances.
･Do not apply heat to the cable.
･Do not bundle the cable.
･Do not fix the cable with staples or the like.
･Do not use the cable if damaged.
･Do not expose the cable to continuous
ultraviolet or strong visible light.
･Avoid exposing the power cable to alkaline,
acidic, oily, or humid substances.
･Do not use the cable in a high temperature
environment.
･Do not use the cable beyond rated
specifications.
･Do not use the cable with other devices.
･Do not plug or unplug the power cord by
holding anything other than the power plug.
･Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
● Do not cover the power cable. If the power cable is covered by a carpet, it is easy to forget
that the cable is there and to place something heavy on it.
● Do not place objects around an outlet so that the power plug can be easily unplugged.
■ Be careful of poor contact and tracking of the power plug.
If the power plug is not used as follows, it may overheat due to tracking or poor contact,
resulting in a fire.
● Insert the power plug firmly all the way into an outlet.
● Make sure the power plug is free of dust or droplets before inserting the plug into an outlet. If
dust or water droplets are attached to the power plug, wipe them off with a dry cloth before
inserting it.
● Use an outlet without looseness when the power plug is inserted.
● Installation of outlets should be carried out by a technician with specialized knowledge.
