CAUTION:
• If your installation requires a dierent power cord than the one supplied with the switch and power
supply, be sure that the cord is adequately sized for the current switch requirements. In addition, be
sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that denes the regulations for
power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the switch and power supply.
• Do not ship any switch in a rack without checking for restrictions. Otherwise, you may void the
switch warranty. See the latest Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch model.
• Ensure that the power source circuits are properly grounded. Then connect the switch to the power
source by using the power cord supplied with the switch. For more information on power cords, see
Power cords.
• When installing the switch, ensure that the AC outlet is near the switch. Make it easily accessible in
case the switch must be powered o.
• Ensure that the power cord and network cables at the switch mounting location do not create a
tripping hazard.
• Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its
specication. For operating temperature information, see the latest version of the Installation and
Getting Started Guide for your switch.
• Ensure that the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection at
your installation site. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere
ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch. Then compare the total with the
rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are printed on the devices near the AC
power connectors.
• Avoid blocking any ventilation openings on the sides, rear, or front of the switch.
• Ensure that the air ow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for
cooling. For the air ow direction, see the latest Installation and Getting Started Guide for your switch
model.
CAUTION: If a power supply must be removed, and then reinstalled, wait at least 5 seconds before
reinstallation. Otherwise, damage to the switch may occur. The power supply needs this time to bleed
o any retained power.
CAUTION: Install a cover plate on any slot in the switch that is not in use.
