WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
WARNING
There are no serviceable parts inside the Dual-Port Network Power
Switch! Do NOT attempt to repair or service this device yourself. YOU
MIGHT BE SHOCKED! Internal components must be serviced by
authorized personnel only.
This device should only be operated with the type of power source
indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of
power service available, consult your local power company.
Connect this unit only to a properly measured supply. Use only the
three-wire cord that is provided with the unit.
Reliable earthing (grounding) of this equipment must be maintained.
Give particular attention to supply connections when connecting to
power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch circuit.
CAUTION
Rackmount Installation: When installing this device in an instrument
rack, the following factors must be accounted for.
Enclosed Racks: Enclosed racks must provide adequate ventilation.
Make certain that the rack is not overly crowded and note that each unit
in the rack generates its own heat. An enclosed rack should have
louvered sides and a fan to circulate cooling air.
When mounting the unit in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at
the top of the rack, note that excessive heat generated by devices at the
bottom of the rack can be drawn upward and into the ventilation slots of
units located at the top. Provide adequate ventilation for equipment
installed at the bottom of the rack.
The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than room
ambient. When installing the unit, do not compromise the amount of air
flow required for safe operation. The maximum temperature for the
equipment in this environment is 113°F (45°C). Consider the maximum
rated ambient.
Keep the installation stable by avoiding uneven loading.
Open Racks: Make certain that the rack frame does not block the
ventilation slots on the instrument cover. If the device is installed on
sliders, check the unit when seated all the way into the rack to make
certain that ventilation slots are not blocked.
CAUTION
Ventilation: Slots in the instrument cover are provided to allow
ventilation for heat dissipation. For safe, reliable operation, these
openings must not be covered or blocked.
