L IMITED W ARRANTY
Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products to be
free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the
applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from
the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion,
repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar or functionally
equivalent product, during the applicable warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or
replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering
new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration
can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC Web
site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime
warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of
time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be
“Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older
technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its
product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued
products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at:
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products may be
either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries either a 30-day limited
warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever is longer. SMC is not responsible
for any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory data of
Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to SMC pursuant
to any warranty. Products returned to SMC should have any customer-installed accessory or
add-on components, such as expansion modules, removed prior to returning the product for
replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to returning
any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product returned to SMC
without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly marked on the outside
of the package will be returned to customer at customer’s expense. For warranty claims within
North America, please call our toll-free customer support number at [phone].
Customers are responsible for all shipping charges from their facility to SMC. SMC is
responsible for return shipping charges from SMC to customer.

FCC - Class A
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) cable for RJ-45 connections
— Category 3 or better for
10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5, 5e, or 6 for
1000 Mbps. Use 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cable, or 9/125 micron
single-mode fiber optic cable, for SC or ST-type connections.
War nings: 1 . Wear an anti-static wrist strap or take other suitable measures to prevent electro-
static discharge when handling this equipment.
2. When connecting this switch to a power outlet, connect the field ground lead on
the tri-pole power plug to a valid earth ground line to prevent electrical hazards.
Industry Canada - Class A
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,”
ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.

Warnhinweis: Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische Sicherheit
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

Power Cord Safety
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.
