Safety Information
Safety-4
Use the Switch only with the indicated power source.
Use the Switch only with the indicated voltage of power. A fire or an electric shock
might be caused.
Ensure that the capacity for incoming current to the distribution board is
greater than the operating current of the circuit breaker.
Ensure that the capacity for incoming current to the distribution board is greater than
the operating current of the circuit breaker. 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.
For the AC power and the AC (PoE) models, the redundant power models with AC
power supplies, and the external power unit (EPU), make sure to use an outlet with a
ground terminal. Not connecting the grounded outlet to the switch can cause electric
shocks, as well as cause failures due to electrical noise.
For the DC model and the redundant power model with DC power supplies, use the
ground cable for grounding. Not connecting the grounded outlet to the switch can
cause electric shocks, as well as cause failures due to electrical noise.
A trained engineer or maintenance staff should attach and detach the DC power
cable.
Atrained engineer or maintenance staff should connect and disconnect the DC power
cable to and from the electrical power equipment. The terminals of the DC power
cable are connected to the electrical power equipment. Wrong handling of the DC
power cable can cause a fire or an electric shock.
Prior to connecting or disconnecting the DC power cable, turn off the circuit
breaker of the electrical power equipment.
Prior to connecting or disconnecting the DC power cable, turn off the circuit breaker
of the electrical power equipment. Otherwise, a fire or an electric shock might result.
Cover the G and −48 V terminals of the DC power cable with an insulation
jacket.
Cover the G and −48 V terminals of the DC power cable (on the electrical power
equipment side) with an insulation jacket. Otherwise, an electric shock might result.

Safety Information
Safety-5
Cut the DC power cable jackets to the specified length.
To use the DC power cable on the redundant power model, cut the cable jackets (on
the Switch side) to 8 to 10 mm.
Too short a sheath length might result in poor contact or a disconnected cable. On the
contrary, too long a sheath length might expose the core wire and cause an electric
shock.
Do not use the Switch with the protection cap removed.
Keep the protective cap in place except when attaching a cable. Otherwise, a fire or
an electric shock might be caused.
Note that EPU-B outputs higher voltage and the label shown below is therefore
attached near the standby power connector.
Handle power cables carefully.
Do not place anything heavy on a power cable. Do not pull, bend, or process a
cable. Doing so could damage the cable, resulting in fire or electric shock. If the
power cable is covered with a carpet or the like, it is easy to forget that the cable is
there and to place something heavy on it.
Use the supplied or a designated power cable. Using another cable could result in
fire or electric shock. In addition, do not use the supplied cable with other devices.
Doing so could result in a fire or electric shock.
If the power cable is damaged so that the wires underneath the covering are visible
or cut, stop using it, and ask maintenance personnel to replace it. Discontinue using
the cable to avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
Make sure the power plug is free of dust, and insert the plug completely up to the
base of the prongs to prevent any looseness. Using a power plug with dust on it or
one that is imperfectly connected could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not overload the power outlet.
Do not overload the power outlet by connecting multiple power plugs to the same
outlet. Overloading the outlet could result in fire or the circuit breaker tripping due to
excessive power used. This might affect other equipment.
Prior to inserting or removing the power supply unit, disconnect the power
cable.
Prior to inserting or removing the power supply unit, disconnect the power cable from
the power supply unit. When the power cable is connected, part of the circuit is
energized even though the power switch is off. Therefore, inserting or removing the
power supply unit with the power cable connected can cause a fire or an electric
shock.

Safety Information
Safety-6
Do not use an air duster near a flame.
When cleaning the optical connectors, do not use an air duster that contains
flammable gas near a flame. Doing so could result in a fire.
