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 manufacturer’s 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.
