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.
