Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products to be free
from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the applicable
warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day limited warranty from the date of
purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. SMC may, at its own discretion, repair or

The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering
new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration
can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC Web

warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of
time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be
“Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older
technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its
product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued
products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at:

FCC - Class A

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Please read the following safety information carefully
before installing the Switch:

WARNING: Installation and removal of the unit must be carried out by

qualified personnel only.

• This guide is intended for use by network administrators who are
responsible for setting up and installing network equipment;
consequently it assumes a basic working knowledge of LANs (Local Area
Networks).

• The unit must be connected to an earthed (grounded) outlet to comply
with international safety standards.

• Do not connect the unit to an A.C. outlet (power supply) without an
earth (ground) connection.

• The appliance coupler (the connector to the unit and not the wall plug)
must have a configuration for mating with an EN 60320/IEC 320
appliance inlet.

• The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. You can
only remove power from the unit by disconnecting the power cord from
the outlet.

• This unit operates under SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) conditions
according to IEC 60950. The conditions are only maintained if the
equipment to which it is connected also operates under SELV
conditions.
