To prevent damage caused by the static electricity, ensure that:

■

The equipment is grounded

■

The equipment room is dust-proof

■

Adequate temperature and humidity conditions are maintained.

■

The operator wears an antistatic wrist strap while handling the module.

■

The module is placed upward on the antistatic workbench, or put into an 
antistatic bag.

■

Avoid direct contact with the elements of the circuit board.

To prevent damage by electromagnetic discharge, do the following:

■

Take effective measures against electrical interference for the power supply 
system.

■

Separate the working ground of the switch from the grounding device of the 
power equipment, or lightning conductor.

■

Adopt electromagnetic shielding if necessary.

To minimize the risk of lightning damage do the following:

■

Install a lightning arrester on the input end of a telephone cable, or other 
external line.

■

Ensure that the PGND wire of the chassis is well grounded

■

Ensure that the neutral point of the socket of AC power supply is well 
grounded

■

Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power supply

For better heat dissipation and equipment maintenance, 3Com recommends that 
you keep the front and back of the switch more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from 
the walls or other devices. The sides of the switch should be at least 0.8 meters 
(2.5 ft) away from the walls. If the optional rack is installed, the clear height of the 
room should be more than 3 meters (10 ft). 

When you open the packing case of the switch, check the contents against the 
your order contract. Contact your Service representative if you find any 
discrepancies.

To install the Switch 8800, you will need:
