Cautions and warnings

The FortiSwitch-AX9004G must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Only handle or work with the FortiSwitch-AX9004G at a static-free workstation. Always wear a grounded electrostatic discharge (ESD) preventive wrist strap when handling the FortiSwitch-AX9004G.

If you install the FortiSwitch-AX9004G in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Make sure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the FortiSwitch-AX9004G, it is recommended that two or more people install the FortiSwitch-AX9004G into the rack.

Do not place heavy objects on the chassis.

Ensure there is enough room (at least 100mm) around the chassis to allow for sufficient air flow.

Do not place any objects on the chassis. Doing so may damage the equipment. It may also become unbalanced and fall over, or fall and cause injury.

Use an antistatic wrist strap. Handling without an antistatic wrist strap may damage the equipment due to static electricity.

Cables should be ducted or protected by braid. In particular, optical fiber cables should have a bending radius of 100 mm or more in the long direction and 50 mm or more in the short direction, and should be protected by metal braid or the like.

Prepare the optical fiber cable considering the length (3 m) required for maintenance of the equipment in advance, and bundle the extra length of the cable and wind it near the equipment. When optical fiber cables and other interface cables are mixed, do not apply excessive force to the optical fiber cables.
