problem.
i
D-Link DFE-855 Fast Ethernet Converter
CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates the potential for property
damage, personal injury, or death.
Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety
and to help protect your system from potential damage. Throughout this
safety section, the caution icon is used to indicate cautions and
precautions that you need to review and follow.
Safety Cautions
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to
the equipment, observe the following precautions:
• Observe and follow service markings.
• 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 may expose you to an electrical
shock.
• Only a trained service technician should service components
inside these compartments.
Unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace the part or
contact your trained service provider if any of the following conditions
occur:
The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged. •
•
An object has fallen into the product.
•
The product has been exposed to water.
•
The product has been dropped or damaged.
ii
D-Link DFE-855 Fast Ethernet Converter
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the
•
operating instructions.
Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not
block cooling vents.
Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate
the product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see the
appropriate section in your troubleshooting guide or contact your trained
service provider.
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can
cause a fire or an electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Use the product only with approved equipment.
Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated
on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power
source required, consult your service provider or local power company.
To help avoid damaging your system, be sure the voltage selection Switch
(if provided) on the power supply is set to match the power available at
your location:
•
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America
and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan
•
100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japa n.
•
230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the
power available in your location.
Safety Instructions (continued)
Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided with a
power cable for your system or for any A C-powered option intended for
your system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your
country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage
and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The voltage
and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked
on the product.
iii
D-Link DFE-855 Fast Ethernet Converter
To help prevent an electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power
cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These 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. If you must use
an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
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 the
extension cable or power strip.
To help protect your system from sudden increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that
they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on
any cables.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or
your power company for site modifications. Always follow your
local/national wiring rules.
When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies,
if offered with your system, observe the following guidelines:
•
Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the
power supply.
•
Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
•
If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power
from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power
supplies.
Move products with care; ensure that all casters and/or stabilizers are
firmly connected to the system. Avoid sudden stops and uneven surfaces.
General Precautions for Rack-Mountable
Products
Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer
to the rack installation documentation accompanying the system for
specific caution statements and procedures.
iv
D-Link DFE-855 Fast Ethernet Converter
Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component"
refers to any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting
hardware.
CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and
side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over,
potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain
circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers
before installing components in the rack.
After installing system/components in a rack, never pull
more than one component out of the rack on its slide
assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one
extended component could cause the rack to tip over and
may result in serious injury.
Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to
the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on
the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front
stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the
rack first.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component
from the rack.
Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a
component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a
locking position, and then slide the component into the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the
rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit
rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other
components in a rack.
v
D-Link DFE-855 Fast Ethernet Converter
NOTE: A qualified electrician must perform all connections
to DC power and to safety grounds. All electrical wiring
must comply with applicable local or national codes and
practices.
CAUTION: Never defeat the ground conductor or operate
the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground
conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable
grounding is available.
CAUTION: The system chassis must be positively
grounded to the rack cabinet frame. Do not attempt to
connect power to the system until grounding cables are
connected. Completed power and safety ground wiring
must be inspected by a qualified electrical inspector. An
energy hazard will exist if the safety ground cable is omitted
or disconnected.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To
prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before
you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor.
You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on the
chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge):
•
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping
carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing
material until you are ready to install the component in your
system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure
to discharge static electricity from your body.
•
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an
vi
D-Link DFE-855 Fast Ethernet Converter
antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible,
•
use antistatic floor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic
grounding strap.
