Mount the Switch on a DIN Rail

The switch ships with a spring-loaded latch on the rear panel for mounting on a
DIN rail.

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect console port cables with power
applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur.

This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

WARNING: Do not use the USB-mini console port in hazardous locations.

ATTENTION: Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal

damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle
this equipment:

• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

ATTENTION: This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. It must be
mounted within an enclosure suitably designed for those specific
environmental conditions and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure
must be accessible only by using a tool.

The enclosure must meet IP 54 or NEMA type 4 minimum enclosure rating

standards.

ATTENTION: To prevent the switch from overheating, make sure these
minimum clearances:

• Top and bottom: 50.8 mm (2.0 in.)
• Exposed side (not connected to the module): 50.8 mm (2.0 in.)
• Front: 50.8 mm (2.0 in.)

ATTENTION: The console ports are intended for temporary local programming
purposes only and not intended for permanent connection.

The console port cables are not to exceed 3.0 m (9.84 ft) and must not contain

hubs.
