4500 regulatory information and
safety precautions

International regulatory statements of conformity

This is to certify that the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series was evaluated to the
international regulatory standards for electromagnetic compliance (EMC) and safety and were
found to have met the requirements for the following international standards:

• EMC - Electromagnetic Emissions - CISPR 22, Class A

• EMC - Electromagnetic Immunity - CISPR 24

• Electrical Safety - IEC 60950, with CB member national deviations

Further, the equipment has been certified as compliant with the national standards as detailed
below.

National electromagnetic compliance (EMC) statements of
compliance

FCC statement (USA only)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to
take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference at their own expense.

Electrostatic discharge

This section provides information and procedures to prevent electrostatic discharge during
installation.

Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a discharge of stored static electricity that can damage
equipment and impair electrical circuitry. Electrostatic voltages can result from friction

Installation November 2010 17

Installing the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch

including, pulling cabling through conduits, walking across carpeted areas, and building static
charge in clothing. When you improperly handle electronic components, ESD damage occurs
and can result in complete or intermittent failures. While networking equipment is commonly
designed and tested to withstand common mode ESD events, voltage can sometimes
discharge to some connector pins, which can potentially damage the networking equipment.

Caution:

To protect the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch against ESD damage, take the following
measures before you connect data cables to the device:

• Always use antistatic wrist straps. Make sure you adjust the strap to provide good skin
contact.

• Ensure that you properly ground work surfaces and equipment racks for protection
against electrostatic discharge. You must connect the common point to the building
ground wire. In a properly wired building, the nearest reliable ground is typically at the
electrical outlet.

• Avoid contact between equipment and clothing. The wrist or ankle strap protects only
the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause
damage.

• Avoid touching any connector pins.

• Do not remove the wrist or ankle strap until the installation is complete.

Preventing electrostatic damage in new cable installations

With new cable installations, Avaya recommends that you use an ESD discharge cable to
reduce the potential for damage from static, that can build up in cables. The following figure
illustrates an ESD cable.

Figure 1: Job aid

To install the ESD discharge cable, perform this procedure.

18 Installation November 2010

1. Connect the ground lug on the ESD discharge cable to a safe and suitable earth
ground.

2. Connect all RJ-45 cable connectors to the female RJ-45 connector of the ESD
discharge cable for at least 5 seconds, and then connect each RJ-45 cable
connector to the switch.

3. Leave cables connected to the networking equipment. After you connect cables to
networking equipment, the cables do not build up charge.

Environmental requirements

The following table provides the environmental requirements for the individual switches in this
series. Ensure that the area where you install the switch and where it operates meets these
requirements.
