ages are present within the device when the power cord is connected.

•

For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall be a
listed Limited Power Source The mains outlet that is utilized to power the
device shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, shall be easily
accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker in compliance with local regu­latory requirements.

•

For AC powered devices, ensure that the power cable used meets all appli­cable standards for the country in which it is to be installed.

•

For AC powered devices which have 3 conductor power plugs (L1, L2 &
GND or Hot, Neutral & Safety/Protective Ground), the wall outlet (or
socket) must have an earth ground.

•

For DC powered devices, ensure that the interconnecting cables are rated
for proper voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and
mechanical serviceability.

•

WAN, LAN & PSTN ports (connections) may have hazardous voltages
present regardless of whether the device is powered ON or OFF. PSTN
relates to interfaces such as telephone lines, FXS, FXO, DSL, xDSL, T1, E1,
ISDN, Voice, etc. These are known as “hazardous network voltages” and
to avoid electric shock use caution when working near these ports. When
disconnecting cables for these ports, detach the far end connection first.

•

Do not work on the device or connect or disconnect cables during periods of
lightning activity

This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be
repaired by qualified service personnel.

SmartNode 4300 Quick Start Guide

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical cir­cuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled

CAUTION

and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Do the following to prevent
ESD:

•

Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing
cards.

•

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin con­tact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely
channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground.

•

To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord
must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by
touching the metal part of the chassis.

General observations

• Clean the case with a soft slightly moist anti-static cloth

• Place the unit on a flat surface and ensure free air circulation

• Avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight and other heat sources

• Protect the unit from moisture, vapors, and corrosive liquids

Airflow requirements – To ensure proper airflow through the SmartNode, follow these recommendations
when you are installing your unit:

– If placed on a desktop, leave 7.62 cm (3 inches) of minimum clearance on both the left and right sides of

the unit.

– If mounted in a rack, leave a one-rack unit (1U) of minimum clearance above and below the unit for

proper airflow.

Note

The SmartNode 4900 model is available for racks that require tighter
spacing requirements than what the SN4300 model allows for mini­mum clearance.
