Caution: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum
clearance space of 3.81cm (1.5 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the G-Series.
Do not connect the G-Series to the AC power source until instructed to do so later in the
installation process.
Precaución: Para asegurar una buena ventilación y evitar que el sistema se
sobrecaliente, deje un espacio mínimo de 3.81cm (1.5 pulgadas) con respecto a los lados
y a la parte posterior del aparato.
No conecte el dipositivo a la fuente primaria hasta que no se le indique.
Caution: Before installing the screws as described in this installation procedure, refer to “Torque
Values” on page A-6.
Precaución: Antes de retirar los tornillos, tal como se describe en las instrucciones de instalación,
consulte “Torque Values” on page A-6.
Note: The G-Series Ethernet switch (with rubber feet installed) will exceed the 2U high Richmond
standard and will not comply with the requirements for mounting in a 19-inch (48.26-centimeter)
rack. Remove the rubber feet, if installed, before installing the switch into a rack.
