- dados técnicos do dispositivo Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100
- nome do fabricante e ano de fabricação do dispositivo Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100
- instruções de utilização, regulação e manutenção do dispositivo Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100
- sinais de segurança e certificados que comprovam a conformidade com as normas pertinentes

Por que você não ler manuais?

Normalmente, isso é devido à falta de tempo e à certeza quanto à funcionalidade específica do dispositivo adquirido. Infelizmente, a mesma ligação e o arranque Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100 não são suficientes. O manual contém uma série de orientações sobre funcionalidades específicas, a segurança, os métodos de manutenção (mesmo sobre produtos que devem ser usados), possíveis defeitos Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100 e formas de resolver problemas comuns durante o uso. No final, no manual podemos encontrar as coordenadas do serviço Cabletron Systems na ausência da eficácia das soluções propostas. Atualmente, muito apreciados são manuais na forma de animações interessantes e vídeos de instrução que de uma forma melhor do que o o folheto falam ao usuário. Este tipo de manual é a chance que o usuário percorrer todo o vídeo instrutivo, sem ignorar especificações e descrições técnicas complicadas Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100, como para a versão papel.

Por que ler manuais?

Primeiro de tudo, contem a resposta sobre a construção, as possibilidades do dispositivo Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100, uso dos acessórios individuais e uma gama de informações para desfrutar plenamente todos os recursos e facilidades.

Após a compra bem sucedida de um equipamento / dispositivo, é bom ter um momento para se familiarizar com cada parte do manual Cabletron Systems SmartSTACK 100. Atualmente, são cuidadosamente preparados e traduzidos para sejam não só compreensíveis para os usuários, mas para cumprir a sua função básica de informação
