• Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as metal flakes.
• Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly and that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the switch.
• Follow the prescribed ESD prevention procedures to avoid damaging the equipment. Static discharge can cause components to fail completely or intermittently over time.
• Install the device in a secure area, so that only authorized personnel can access the device.
