CAUTION
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the fan assembly slots
empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a fan assembly fails, leave it in the
switch until it can be replaced. Maintain all fan assemblies in operational condition to provide
redundancy.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in
place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
