Caution  -  Equipment Loading. Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom to the top so that the rack does not become top heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack's anti-tilt legs to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

Caution  -  Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature. If the switch is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment only in an environment compatible with the ambient temperature specified for the switch.

Caution  -  Reduced Air Flow. Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow is adequate for the safe operation of the equipment.

Caution  -  Mechanical Loading. Mount the equipment in the rack so that the weight is distributed evenly. A hazardous condition can exist with uneven mechanical loading.

Caution  -  Circuit Overloading. Do not overload the power supply circuits. Before connecting the switch to the supply circuit, review the equipment nameplate power ratings and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

Caution  -  Reliable Grounding. Maintain reliable grounding of rackmounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
