Safety and Regulatory Information for HP PS1810-8G Switch

To avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the installation precautions and guidelines below.

Installation PrecautionsWarnings

■Do not wall-mount any switch without checking for restrictions in the Installation and Getting Started Guide.

■Wall-mount the switch with network ports facing up or down (away from or toward the floor).

■If mounting the switch under HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8s, stack no more than two servers on top of the switch.

Cautions

■Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the in-line power adapter and power cord, or wall mount power adapter supplied with the switch to connect to the AC power source.

■If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the power adapter, be sure the cord is adequately sized for the switch’s current requirements. In addition, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country/region. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch and power adapter.

■When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.

■Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the AC power connectors, and are included under “Product Specifications” on page 7.

■Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient temperature exceeds its specification.

■Ensure the air flow around the switch is not restricted. Leave at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) for cooling.
