Safety Information
Grounding
Depending on the product model, your product will be classified either as a
safety class I or safety class II compliant device. Class I devices require a
connection to earth ground (3-terminal plug), while class II devices incorporate
a 2-terminal plug.
Class I: There must be an uninterruptible safety earth ground from the main
power source to the product's power cord or supplied power cord set.
Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, disconnect the
power cord until the ground has been restored.
Class II: Safety class II-compliant devices include supplemental insulation to
protect against electric shock, and do not require a connection to earth
ground.
For LAN connections:
■ If your LAN covers an area served by more than one power distribution
system, be sure their safety grounds are securely interconnected.
■ LAN cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages
(such as lightning or disturbances in the electrical utilities power grid).
Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.
