Powerline Device Safety Information Follow these safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from potential damage:
For national approvals (approval schemes other than CB), relevant national standards for plug, socket-
outlet, and direct plug-in units (for example, US) shall also be consulted while testing and approving such products according to the national standards. Check the electrical current for any device plugged into the filtered AC socket. Do not exceed home and product outlet ratings and electrical requirements. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible Only power cords and allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC socket; no other equipment with a direct plug-in is allowed. Power cords needs to be a maximum of 1m long and a minimum of 0.75mm of cross-
sectional area. Do not plug devices into the Powerline Pass Thru Adapter filtered AC outlet that exceed the product ratings. The output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet that the Powerline Pass Thru Adapter is plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location. If the input AC voltage is less than 100 Vac, the device plugged into the filtered AC socket of the Powerline Pass Thru Adapter might not perform as well as expected. DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an attached power strip. The device is not intended to be used with home appliances such as air conditioners, power tools, space heaters, fans hair dryers, ovens, or refrigerators. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can expose you to electrical shock. Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments. Use the product only with approved equipment. Allow the products to cool before removing covers or touching internal components. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set o match the power available at your location:
o o o 110 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as south Korea and Taiwan 100, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100, 60Hz in western Japan 230v, 50Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East The peripheral power cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for te extension cable or power strip. To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Rack Mount Safety Instructions This information applies to the installation of all NETGEAR rack mount products Ambient operating temperature. If the switch is installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature. Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading. Circuit overloading. Consider the equipments connection to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern. Reliable grounding. This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at all times. To ensure this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips). Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable you to open the front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches) to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
