Installation
Precautions
Please review the following safety precautions before you begin to install
the AT-8000-XX Ethernet switch.
ˆ The surface on which the switch is placed should be adequately
secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
ˆ Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded.
ˆ Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any product
except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or
removing covers marked with a triangular symbol and a lighting bolt
may cause electrical shock. These components are to be serviced by
trained service technicians only.
ˆ Ensure the power cable, extension cable, and/or plug is not damaged.
ˆ Ensure the product is not exposed to water.
ˆ Ensure the device is not exposed to radiators and/or heat sources.
ˆ Do not push foreign objects into the device, as it may cause a fire or
electric shock.
ˆ Use the device only with approved equipment.
ˆ Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
equipment.
ˆ Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and
over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the
supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the device being installed. Compare this total
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are
usually printed on the switch, near their AC power connectors.
ˆ Ensure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the switch is
not restricted.
ˆ Ensure the cooling vents are not blocked.
ˆ Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating
ambient temperature might exceed 40ºC (104ºF).
Site
Requirements
The device should be placed on a table-top. Before installing the unit,
verify that the location chosen for installation meets the following site
requirements.
ˆ General — Ensure that the power supply is correctly installed.
