Please read this guide completely before using your Switch. z Keep this guide handy after reading it, so that it is available for later reference. z Operate the Switch according to the instructions and procedures provided in this manual. z Heed all warnings and cautions for the Switch in this guide.
Safety Information If anything seems wrong, immediately turn off the power. If smoke or an unusual smell is emanating from the Switch, or if liquid is spilled into the Switch or a foreign object falls into the Switch, immediately turn off power to the Switch as described below. Continuing operation could result in fire or electric shock. z For a Switch with an AC power supply unit installed, turn off the Switch power before unplugging the power cable from the outlet.
Safety Information Ensure that the capacity for incoming current to the distribution board is greater than the operating current of the circuit breaker. Ensure that the capacity for incoming current to the distribution board is greater than the operating current of the circuit breaker. If it is not, the circuit breaker might not operate properly in the event of a failure, which could result in fire. Ground the Switch. When connecting the Switch to a 100 V AC power supply, each Switch has at most 3.
Safety Information Place an insulation cover over the 0 V and −48 V terminals of a DC power cable. Place an insulation cover over the 0 V and −48 V terminals of a DC power cable before using them. Using the terminals without an insulation cover could result in fire or electric shock. Do not use a DC power supply with the cover of the terminal board removed. After attaching a power cable, attach the cover to the terminal board when using a DC power supply.
Safety Information Handle power cables carefully. Do not place anything heavy on a power cable. Do not pull, bend, or modify a cable. Doing so could damage the cable, resulting in fire or electric shock. If the power cable is covered with a carpet or the like, it is easy to forget that the cable is there and to place something heavy on it. Use the supplied or a designated power cable. Using another cable could result in fire or electric shock.
Safety Information When pressing the reset button, do not use anything with a fragile tip, or anything that might become caught in the Switch, such as a pin or paper clip. When pressing the reset button on the front panel, do not use anything with a fragile tip, or anything that might become caught in the Switch, such as a pin or paper clip. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. When adding or replacing a power supply unit, disconnect the power supply cable.
Safety Information Do not install the Switch in a dusty or humid location. Do not install the Switch in a dusty or humid location. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock. Condensation might form on the surfaces and the inside of the Switch if it is moved from a cold location to a warm location. Using the Switch in this condition could result in fire or electric shock.
Safety Information Do not allow hair or objects near the ventilation slots. Because a Switch is equipped with internal cooling fan units, do not allow anything near ventilation slots. Doing so causes heat to accumulate inside the Switch and could cause a failure. Do not allow hair or other light material or objects near the ventilation slots because they might be sucked into the Switch, resulting in injury. When moving a Switch, do not hold the handles of optional modules.
Safety Information When removing a fan unit, do not place your hands near the fan if it is rotating. Immediately after a fan unit is removed, the blades might still be rotating. While the fan blades are rotating, do no place your hands near them. Doing so might result in injury. The following label is attached to a fan unit. Handle the power cable carefully. Do not place a power cable near a heat-generating apparatus, because the heat could melt the cable coating, resulting in fire or electric shock.
Safety Information Cleaning Remove dust on and around the Switch regularly. In addition to causing the switch to stop, accumulated dust could result in fire or electric shock.
Safety Information Do not turn off the Switch power while software is being updated (when the ppupdate command is being executed). When the ppupdate command is executed, the Switch restarts automatically. Do not turn off the Switch until it is restarted (until the STATUS LED on the basic control unit changes from blinking green to constant green). Failure to do so could result in a Switch failure. If the ACC LED is lit, do not remove the memory card or turn off the power.
Safety Information When replacing a fan unit with the Switch turned on, observe the time limit. When replacing a fan unit with the Switch on, you must remove and replace the unit within one minute. If the operation takes longer than one minute, the temperature inside the Switch will rise and possibly cause a failure. When carrying or packing a Switch and an optional module, wear a wrist strap to protect against static electricity. Be sure to wear an antistatic wrist strap.
Safety Information Install an optional module carefully. Follow the procedure below when you install an optional module. Failure to do so could result in a failure or a malfunction of the Switch. 1. Open the levers as shown in the figure. 2. While holding the levers, push the optional module carefully until the levers touch the Switch. 3. Use the levers to push the optional module as far as it will go. When moving a lever, move it slowly (for one second or longer) without exerting strain.
Safety Information Do not use a TV or a radio near a Switch. Placing a Switch near a TV or a radio could affect both devices. If you hear noise on the TV or radio, do the following: z Place the Switch as far away as possible from the TV or radio. z Adjust the orientation of the TV or radio antenna. z Use separate outlets. Do not place a Switch where it will be exposed to hydrogen sulfide or salt.
