Cautions

Installation Precautions (continued)

■ If the switch is to be shipped in a rack, HP Shock Rack and an HP X4504U/

7U Universal 4-Post Rack Mount Kit (J9852A) for each switch.

■ Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the

power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.

■ If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied

with the switch and power supply, be sure the cord is adequately sized

for the switch’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power

cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations

for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the

power cord can be used safely with the switch and power supply.

■ When installing the switch, note that the AC outlet should be near the

switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be

powered off.

■ Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-

current protection. Each power supply should be connected to a dedi

cated branch circuit to prevent tripping building circuit breakers. To

determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together

the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the

switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The

maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC

power connectors.

■ Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient

temperature might exceed 45°C (113°F).

■ Allow three to four inches of space around the sides and back of the

switch to make sure the air flow for the switch is not restricted.
