Temperature Control
The MSA Fabric Switch 6 is designed to work in a normal room temperature
environment, between 10º and 40º C (50º F to 104 º F).
Preventive Maintenance Solutions
To protect the switch for longer use, Compaq recommends the following:
Periodically vacuum the external surfaces of the switch to remove dust.
Do not drop fiber optic cable connectors onto hard surfaces. This can cause
internal glass fractures and intermittent signals.
Keep unused cable ends covered to prevent contamination from obscuring or
attenuating the light signals.
IMPORTANT: Always use an anti-static wrist strap while handling SFPs. These are
static-sensitive devices.
Keep unused Compaq-supported SFP connections covered to prevent
contamination from obscuring or attenuating the light signals.
Always follow the Compaq-supported SFP manufacturers recommended
procedures for cleaning the SFP. This is especially true of the type of solvent
used for cleaning optical surfaces.
Never insert foreign objects into optical transmit and receive ports.
Do not bend fiber cable to less than a 3-inch bend radius.
