Safety Instructions
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its
compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free life. However, the
life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treatment during unpacking and
installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron
product, you are requested to conform with the following guidelines.

All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel only.

Do not connect a switch port to a telephone line.
WARNING
For installation in a Hot-Plug system, observe the safety instruc-
tions specific to the system. Read the relevant documentation.
CAUTION
Electric Shock
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power
cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn
off the power supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its
source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off the system
power switch does not remove power to components.
Caution, Laser Light!
Laser light from fiber-optic transmission cables and components can damage
your eyes. The laser components plugged into the switch are Class 1 laser compo-
nents. Class 1 laser is considered incapable of producing damaging radiation lev-
els during normal operation or maintenance.
To avoid damaging your eyes and to continue safe operation in case of abnormal
circumstances:
• Never look directly into the outlets of fiber-optic transmission components
or fiber-optic cables with unprotected eyes.
• Never allow fiber-optic transmission path to operate until all the connec-
tions have been made.
• Always fit protective plugs to any unused ports of the switch.
