exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock
hazards.
Elevated Ambient Temperature: If the unit is installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Do not exceed
the rated maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
Reduced Air Flow: Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Reliable Earthing: Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention
to supply connections and indirect connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power
strips).
