■ Follow the prescribed ESD prevention procedures to avoid damaging the
equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or
intermittently over time.
■ Install the switch in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access
the switch.

Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines for EX Series Switches
Table 19 on page 45 describes the factors you must consider while planning the
electrical wiring at your site.
WARNING: It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded and shielded
environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
Table 19: Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
GuidelinesSite Wiring Factor
If your site experiences any of the following problems, consult
experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding:
■
Improperly installed wires cause radio frequency
interference (RFI).
■
Damage from lightning strikes occurs when wires exceed
recommended distances or pass between buildings.
■
Electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by lightning
damages unshielded conductors and electronic devices.
