Installing the Switch

Warning

In sensitive applications, to avoid shock and vibration, do not mount the switch in non-rigid racks or on top of raised floors or tables. Avoid use with high- impact doors that lack impact-reducing bumpers upon closing.

To install the switch:

1.Place the SB switch into its intended operating location.

2.Avoid blocking the ventilation holes at the back and at the bottom of the instrument.

3.Do not pull on the fibers exiting through the rear-panel strain relief. Excessive force can damage the optics.

4.Route the fiber cables in such a way as to avoid creating bends that have a radius of less than 1.5 cm; do not lay cables across sharp corners or tie bundles of cables together tightly.

5.Reattach the AC power cord and reinitialize the switch.
