Performing Spot Checks

At frequent intervals, you should visually check the Switch. Regular checks can give you an early warning of a possible failure; any problems can then be attended to when there will be least effect on users.

3Com recommends periodically checking the items listed in Table 1.

Table 1 Items to Check

Cabling

Check that all external cabling connections

 

are secure and that no cables are pulled

 

taut.

Cooling fan

Where possible, check that the cooling fan

 

is operating by listening to the unit. The fan

 

is fitted near to the front right hand side of

 

the unit (when viewed from the front).

 

 

If you experience any problems operating the Switch, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 73.
