2.1 Preparation for Installation
2.1.1 Safety Precaution
The following precautions should be followed to avoid equipment damage and personal injury caused by
improper use:
 Power source should be removed before cleaning switches. Do not use wet rags to wipe switches
and clean switches with liquid.
 Do not place switches near water or in a wet environment, and prevent water or moisture from
entering switch chassis.
 Do not place switches on an unstable case or table, since the dropping would cause serious harm to
switches.
 Maintain good indoor ventilation and clear airholes of switches.
 Switches shall work normally under correct voltage, so make sure the operating voltage agrees with
the voltage marked on switches.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove its enclosure when a switch is working, and don’t
do so at will even if it is not powered.
 Anti-static gloves must be worn when replacing interface board to prevent static electricity from
damaging veneer.
2.1.2 Installation Site
To ensure a normal work environment, 9171 series routing switches should have the following requirements
for workplace:
 Ensure that there are some spaces at the inlet and outlet of switch for heat dispersion of switch
chassis.
 Ensure that rack and working platform have good ventilation and heat dispersion systems.
 Ensure that rack and working platform are firm enough to support the weight of a switch and its
accessories for installation.
