CrossFire 8605 Token-Ring Fiber Switch.

➽Danger: Do not open the CrossFire 8600 Token-Ring Switch and/or the CrossFire 8605 Token-Ring

Fiber Switch. Dangerous voltages inside.

➽Danger: To avoid shock hazard the power cord must be connected to a properly wired and earthed

receptacle. Any equipment to which the CrossFire 8600 Token-Ring Switch and/orthe CrossFire 8605

Token-Ring Fiber Switch will be attached must also be connected to properly wired and earthed

receptacles.

Caution:

Observe the following power cable considerations before you begin installation of the CrossFire 8600

Token-Ring Switch and/or the CrossFire 8605 Token-Ring Fiber Switch.

1. The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

2. To prevent electrical shock, the power cord set used must comply with national regulations.

2a. The female receptacle of the cord must meet CEE-22 requirements.

2b. The cord must be UL listed, CSA labelled, and consist of three conductors with a maximum

of 15 feet in length.

Type SVT or SJT cord sets shall be used for units which stand on a desk or table. Type SJT

cord sets shall be used for units which stand on floor.

2c. The male plug for units operating at 115 VAC shall consist of a parallel blade, grounding

type attachment plug rated 15 A, 125 VAC.

The male plug for units operating at 230 VAC shall consist of a tandem blade, grounding

type attachment plug rated 15 A, 250 VAC.

The male plug for units operating at 230 VAC (outside of the United States and Canada) shall

consist of a grounding type attachment plug rated 15 A, 250 VAC and have the appropriate

safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.

➽Caution: Support the CrossFire 8600 Token-Ring Switch and/orthe CrossFire 8605 Token-Ring Fiber

Switch while you are installing the unit to avoid dropping it on the floor or any equipment beneath it in

therack. TheCrossFire 8600 Token-Ring Switch unit andthe CrossFire8605 Token-RingFiberSwitch
