Hazardous Area Installation Warnings

Read and understand the warnings in this section before installing the switch in a hazardous environment.


Caution

When installed in a Class I. Div/Zone 2 hazardous location environment, this equipment must be installed in a min. IP54 certified enclosure.


Caution

Airflow around the switch must be unrestricted. To prevent the switch from overheating, there must be the following minimum clearances:

  • Top and bottom: 1 RU (1.75 in. or 4.4 cm)

  • Sides: 1 RU

  • Front: 1 RU

Contact your Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) if tighter spacings are required.

Caution

When installed in a Class I. Div/Zone 2 hazardous location environment. This equipment must be installed in a pollution degree 2 environment per IEC 60664-1)


Caution

This equipment is suitable for use in Class I. Division 2. Groups A, B, C, D, or only nonhazardous locations.

Caution

Do not install or remove SFP or SFP+ modules when an explosive atmosphere may be present.

Caution

Do not install or remove power supplies when an explosive atmosphere may be present.

Caution

Do not use the USB Console Service Port when an explosive atmosphere may be present.

Caution

Do not install or remove the SD card when an explosive environment may be present.

Caution

Do not use the USB type-A host port when an explosive atmosphere may be present

Warning

Statement 1017—Restricted Area

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. Only skilled, instructed, or qualified personnel can access a restricted access area.


Warning

Use twisted-pair copper wire (16- to 14-AWG or 1.31- to 2.08-mm2) to connect from the power input terminal to the high-voltage AC or DC power supply module. Use 12-AWG or 3.31-mm2 (minimum) for the low-voltage DC power supply module. For power source connections, use wires rated for at least 194°F (90°C).


Note

This equipment has been tested by UL for the explosion, fire, shock, and casualty hazards required by the applicable hazardous locations standards. UL certification does not cover the performance or reliability of any GPS hardware, GPS operating software, or other GPS-related aspects of equipment covered under this category. Accordingly, UL makes no representations, warranties or certifications regarding the performance or reliability of any GPS-related functions of equipment covered under this category.

North American Hazardous Location Approval

The following information applies when operating this equipment in hazardous locations:

English:

Products marked "Class I, Div 2, GP A, B, C, D" are suitable for use in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations and nonhazardous locations only. Each product is supplied with markings on the rating nameplate indicating the hazardous location temperature code. When combining products within a system, the most adverse temperature code (lowest "T" number) may be used to help determine the overall temperature code of the system. Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the time of installation.

Informations sur l'utilisation de cet équipement en environnements dangereux:

Les produits marqués "Class I, Div 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne conviennent qu'à une utilisation en environnements de Classe I Division 2 Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. Chaque produit est livré avec des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui indiquent le code de température pour les environnements dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combinés dans un système, le code de température le plus défavorable (code de température le plus faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le code de température global du système. Les combinaisons d'équipements dans le système sont sujettes à inspection par les autorités locales qualifiées au moment de l'installation.

EMC Environmental Conditions for Products Installed in the European Union

This section applies to products to be installed in the European Union.
