 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. After moving the Switch between two locations with a
large temperature variation, let the Switch stand a few hours before using it.
 Do not stack Switches.
Do not stack Switches. Doing so might damage the Switch. Furthermore, the Switch
might fall, or become unbalanced, resulting in injury.
 Do not step on the Switch, lean against it, or place anything on it.
Do not step on the Switch, lean against it, or place anything on it. Doing so might
damage the Switch. Furthermore, the Switch might fall, or become unbalanced,
resulting in injury.
 When mounting a Switch into a rack, use the guide rails or shelves.
It is not possible for the provided rack fixture alone to support the weight of a Switch.
Its purpose is merely to hold a Switch in the rack. Use the guide rails or shelves.
You must use the guide rails and shelves provided with the rack, and these must be
able to support the weight of the Switch (with the maximum number of optional
modules installed).
 Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots of the Switch. Doing so causes heat to
accumulate inside the Switch, and could result in fire. Maintain a space of at least
70 mm around the ventilation slots.
