General Safety Instructions
The following instructions serve as a general guide for the safe installation and operation of telecommunications
products.Additional instructions, if applicable, are included inside the manual.
Safety Symbols
This symbol may appear on the equipment or in the text. It indicates potential
safety hazards regarding product operation or maintenance to operator or service
personnel.
Danger of electric shock! Avoid any contact with the marked surface while the
product is energized or connected to outdoor telecommunication lines.
Protective earth: the marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building
protective earth bus.
Some products may be equipped with a laser diode. In such cases, a label with
the laser class and other warnings as applicable will be attached near the optical
transmitter. The laser warning symbol may be also attached.
Please observe the following precautions:
• Before turning on the chassis with optic module, make sure that the fiber optic
cable is intact and is connected to the transmitter.
• Do not attempt to adjust the laser drive current.
• Do not use broken or unterminated fiber-optic cables/connectors or look straight at the
laser beam.
• The use of optical devices with the equipment will increase eye hazard.
• Use of controls, adjustments or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
ATTENTION: The laser beam may be invisible!
Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation and maintenance of this
product. Only qualified and authorized service personnel should carry out adjustment, maintenance
or repairs to this product. No installation, adjustment, maintenance or repairs should be performed by
either the operator or the user.
All extension slots are not hot-swappable
Before operating modules in the electricity conditions, please be noticed that optical modules shall
be connected with optical fiber wires or shield with optical module cover for fear that laser light
harms to operator’s eyes.
Handling Energized Products
General Safety Practices
Do not touch or tamper with the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages may

www.raisecom.com User Manual
2
be present inside certain products even when the power switch (if installed) is in the OFF position or
a fuse is blown. For DC-powered products, although the voltages levels are usually not hazardous,
energy hazards may still exist.
Before working on equipment connected to power lines or telecommunication lines, remove jewelry
or any other metallic object that may come into contact with energized parts.
Unless otherwise specified, all products are intended to be grounded during normal use. Grounding
is provided by connecting the mains plug to a wall socket with a protective earth terminal. If an earth
lug is provided on the product, it should be connected to the protective earth at all times, by a wire
with a diameter of 18 AWG or wider. Rack-mounted equipment should be mounted only in earthed
racks and cabinets.
Always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last. Do not connect telecommunication
cables to ungrounded equipment. Make sure that all other cables are disconnected before
disconnecting the ground.
Connection of AC Mains
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with local codes.
Always connect the AC plug to a wall socket with a protective ground.
Always connect the power cord first to the equipment and then to the wall socket. If a power switch
is provided in the equipment, set it to the OFF position. If the power cord cannot be readily
disconnected in case of emergency, make sure that a readily accessible circuit breaker or emergency
switch is installed in the building installation.
Connection of DC Mains
Unless otherwise specified in the manual, the DC input to the equipment is floating in reference to
the ground. Any single pole can be externally grounded.
Due to the high current capability of DC mains systems, care should be taken when connecting the
DC supply to avoid short-circuits and fire hazards.
DC units should be installed in a restricted access area, i.e. an area where access is authorized only to
qualified service and maintenance personnel.
Make sure that the DC supply is electrically isolated from any AC source and that the installation
complies with the local codes.
Before connecting the DC supply wires, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Locate
the circuit breaker of the panel board that services the equipment and switch it to the OFF position.
When connecting the DC supply wires, first connect the ground wire to the corresponding terminal,
then the positive pole and last the negative pole. Switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position.
A readily accessible disconnect device that is suitably rated and approved should be incorporated in
the building installation.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Modules which can be plugged into chassis are sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Conversely, static voltages as high as 35,000V can be generated just by handling plastic or foam
packing material, or by sliding assemblies across plastic and carpets. Not exercising the proper
electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures.
To minimize the potential for ESD damage, observe the following guidelines:
• Always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good
skin contact.
• When removing or installing a component, make sure the equipment end of your antistatic strap
leash is connected to the ESD connection sockets on the front of the chassis or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis. Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. The wrist strap only
protects the component from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on your clothing can still
cause component damage.
• Always place a card component-side-up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in a
static shielding bag. If you are returning the item to the factory, immediately place it in a static
shielding bag.
• Handle Modules by the metal card carrier edges only; Avoid touching the board or any connector
pins.

¾After installing the switch following the steps above, connect the switch to 220V AC power
supply using the provided power supply cable, and then the switch is electrified.
¾After the electrifying, the indicator PWR will turn ON to indicate that the power supply of
the system is working.
¾The switch will begin its self-check and initialization in succession. All the indicators on the
front panel of the switch will turn ON during this procedure.
¾The switch will be in operating status after the self-check and initialization. The indicator
SYS will begin to flicker to indicate that the system in operating normally. The indicators for
Ethernet ports will show the status of their corresponding ports (ON or OFF according to the
settings and connection of the port).
¾Here, if the switch is connected to PC via CONSOLE interface before electrifying and the
terminal software is correctly configured, the user management interface on which users can
operate over the switch will appear on the PC (For details, please refer to the corresponding
software configuration manual.).

Chapter 5 Notes
The installation, maintenance, plugging in and pulling out of components of ISCOM2008 switch can
only be conducted by qualified technical support staff. Please place the device in a
temperature-controllable and humidity-controllable room and please be cautious of the conductivity
of the materials around the device. Please note that a room with high humidity exposes the device to
short circuit; while low humidify may lead to fire alarm. In a word, the switch must be placed in
proper surroundings.
¾The power supply of the device should be well earthed to let out the static electricity.
¾Please keep some space from other powered devices when installing the switch.
¾The cable arrangement of the switch should have all cables be placed across the live wire.
Long-distance close parallel of the cables and the live wire must be avoided.
¾Please operate following the instructions in this manual strictly.
¾Please avoid operating the switch with wet hands or hands with too much sweat.
¾Any mechanical and electrical modifications to the switch are strictly forbidden.
