This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to
radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference. You are cautioned that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
your authority to operate the equipment.
You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for RJ-45 connections - Category 3 or better
for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, Category 5, 5e,
or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections. For fiber optic connections, you may use 50/125 or 62.5/

Safety Compliance
Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety
Avertissment: Ports pour fibres optiques - sécurité sur le plan optique
Warnhinweis: Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische Sicherheit
Please read the following safety information carefully before
installing the switch:
WARNING: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by qualified personnel
only.
• The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply with international
safety standards.
• Do not connect the unit to an A.C. outlet (power supply) without an earth (ground)
connection.
• The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug) must have a
configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320 appliance inlet.
• The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can only remove
power from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet.
• This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions according to
IEC 60950. The conditions are only maintained if the equipment to which it is connected
also operates under SELV conditions.
France and Peru only
This unit cannot be powered from IT†supplies. If your supplies are of IT type, this unit
must be powered by 230 V (2P+T) via an isolation transformer ratio 1:1, with the
secondary connection point labelled Neutral, connected directly to earth (ground).
†Impédance à la terre
When using a fiber optic port, never look at the transmit laser while it is
powered on. Also, never look directly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable
ends when they are powered on.
Ne regardez jamais le laser tant qu'il est sous tension. Ne regardez
jamais directement le port TX (Transmission) à fibres optiques et les
embouts de câbles à fibres optiques tant qu'ils sont sous tension.
Niemals ein Übertragungslaser betrachten, während dieses
eingeschaltet ist. Niemals direkt auf den Faser-TX-Anschluß
und auf die Faserkabelenden schauen, während diese
eingeschaltet sind.
