However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Installing
For installation procedures, refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with the switch or go to
pkdge.co/ms-qsg. You can also visit the Dealer Portal for current manuals and quick start
guides.
For rack installation, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
Caution: If you install the switch in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room temperature. Make
sure you install the equipment somewhere within the recommended temperature range. For
free-standing installation, make sure that the switch has at least 3.75 cm (1.5 in.) of clearance
on each side to allow for adequate air flow and cooling.
