To comply with NEBS requirements and protect againstlightning surges and commercial power disturbances, the intrabuilding portsmust not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP orits wiring. The intrabuilding ports on the switch are suitable for connectionto intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The addition of primaryprotectors is not sufficient protection for connecting these interfacesmetallically to OSP wiring.CAUTION: Before removing or installing components of a switch, attach anESD strap to an ESD point and place the other end of the strap around yourbare wrist. Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage to the switch.• Install the J-EX Series switch in compliance with the following local, national, andinternational electrical codes:• United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United StatesNational Electrical Code.• Other countries—International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) 60364, Part 1through Part 7.229
