Preparing for Installation

 Safety Precautions

Caution

  • To avoid personal injury and device damage, carefully read the safety precautions before you install the device.
  • The following safety precautions may not cover all possible dangers.

Installation Safety

  • Keep the chassis clean, free from any dust.
  • Do not place the device in walking areas.
  • During the installation and maintenance, do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or any other things that may be hooked by the device.
  • Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before placing the device in a rack or removing the device from a rack.

Handling Safety

  • Avoid handling the device frequently.
  • Keep balance and prevent personal injuries when handling the device.
  • Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the switch.

Electric Safety

  • Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant
    qualifications can perform such operations.

  • Before installing the device, check whether there are hidden risks in the operating environment of the device. For example, check whether the power socket is grounded and whether the ground is wet.

  • Be sure to know the location of the indoor emergency power supply switch before installing the device. When an accident occurs, immediately cut off all power supplies.

  • Do not maintain the device by yourself when the device is powered on.

  • Make sure that the switch is powered off when you cut off the power supply.

  • Do not place the switch in a wet position, and keep the switch away from liquid.

Caution

  • Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead to
    severe and fatal personal injury and device damage.

  • Direct contact or indirect contact through wet objects with high voltage or mains power supply may be fatal.

  • If the power supply system is equipped with a leakage protector (also referred to as leakage current switch or leakage current breaker), the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector must be greater than twice the theoretical maximum leakage current of all the power supplies in the system. For example, if a system is equipped with 20 identical power supplies and the leakage current of each power supply is equal to or less than 1.5 mA, the leakage current of the system totals 30 mA. A leakage protector with 30 mA rated action current supports less than ten power supplies (that is, Action current of the leakage protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/1.5 = 10). In other words, the leakage protector with 30 mA rated action current supports no more than ten power supplies. In this case, the 20 power supplies in the system require at least two leakage protectors with 30 mA rated action current and each leakage protector supports ten power supplies. If power supplies in a system differ in models, the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector divided by two is greater than the sum of maximum leakage currents of all the power supplies. The rated leakage non-action current of a leakage protector shall be 50% of the leakage action current. Take a leakage protector with 30 mA rated leakage action current as an example. The rated leakage non-action current shall be 15 mA. When the leakage current is below 15 mA, the protector shall not act. Otherwise, disoperation may easily occur due to high sensitivity and thus the leakage protector trips, devices are powered off, and services are interrupted.

  • To guarantee personal safety, the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector in the system must be equal to or less than 30 mA (human body safety current is 30 mA). When twice of the total leakage current of the system is greater than http://baike.baidu.com/item/安全电流 30 mA, the system must be equipped with two or more leakage protectors.

  • For the leakage current value of each power supply model, see the power supply model specifications in Chapter 1

Electrostatic Discharge Safety

To prevent damage caused by static electricity, you must pay attention to the following:

  • Ensure that the grounding screw on the rear panel of the device is tightened. Ensure that the AC power socket is a single-phase three-core power socket with protective earthing conductors (PE).
  • Keep the indoor installation environment clean and free of dust.
  • Keep the indoor humidity within a certain range.

Laser Safety

RG-ES226GC-P, RG-ES218GC-P, RG-ES210GS-P and RG-ES206GS-P switches support various types of optical transceivers available in the market, and these optical transceiver are Class I laser products. Improper use of an optical transceiver may cause damage. Therefore, pay attention to the following:

Note:

  • When an optical transceiver is working, ensure that its port has been connected with an optical fiber or covered by a dust cap to keep out dust and prevent it from burning your eyes.
  • When an optical transceiver is working, do not look into its port after removing the optical fiber. Otherwise, your eyes may be hurt.

Caution
Do not approach or look into any optical port under any circumstances. This may cause permanent damage to your eyes.

Installation Environment Requirements

To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the switch, the installation site must meet the following requirements.

Ventilation and Cooling Requirements

Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) around the switch for air circulation and ventilation. After various cables are connected, bundle the cables or place them in the patch panel to avoid blocking air inlets. Dust the device every three months to avoid blocking the ventilation openings on the housing.

Temperature and Humidity Requirements

To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the switch, maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room. The machine room with too high or too low temperature and humidity for a long period may damage the switch.

  • In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have poor insulation or even leak electricity.
  • In an environment with too low relative humidity, the insulating strips will shrink, and static electricity is prone to occur and damage the internal circuits of the switch.
  • A high ambient temperature not only deteriorates device performance but also causes various hardware faults.

The table below lists the ambient temperature and humidity requirements of RG- ES200 series switches.

Temperature Relative Humidity
0ºC-40ºC 10% RH to 90% RH

Note
Requirements for ambient temperature and humidity of sampling points:
The ambient temperature and humidity of the switch are measured at the point that is 1.5 m above the floor and
0.4 m before the switch rack when there is no protective plate in front or at the back of the rack

Cleanliness

Dust poses a major threat to the switch. The indoor dust can cause electrostatic adhesion when falling on the switch, causing poor contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adhesion occurs more easily when the indoor relative humidity is low, not only affecting the service life of the switch, but also causing communication failure easily. The following table lists the requirements for the dust content and diameter in the machine room.

Dust Unit Maximum Quantity
Dust particles (diameter ≥ 0.5 μm) Particles/ m3 ≤ 3.5 × 106
Dust particles (diameter ≥ 5 μm) Particles/ m3 ≤ 3 × 104

Apart from dust, the salt, acid, and sulfide in the air of the machine room must meet strict requirements. These
harmful substances will accelerate metal corrosion and component aging. Therefore, the machine room should
be properly protected against the intrusion of harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen
dioxide, and chlorine gas. The following table lists limit values for harmful gases.

Gas Average (mg/m3) Maximum (mg/m3)
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) 0.3 1.0
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) 0.1 0.5
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 0.5 1.0
Chlorine gas (CI2) 0.1 0.3

Note
Average refers to the average value of harmful gases measured in one week. The Maximum value is the pper
limit of the harmful gas measured in one week for up to 30 minutes every day.

Anti-interference

The switch is susceptible to external interference by capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic waves, common impedance (ground) coupling, or conduction over power lines, signal lines and output lines.

Note that:

  • In a TN earthing system, use a 3-wire single-phase outlet that has a protective earth (PE) contact to allow the filter circuit in the device to eliminate interference from the power grid.
  • The switch should be located far away from the large power radio launch pads, radar launch pads, and high-frequency large-current devices.
  • Use EMI shielding such as shielded interface cables to minimize interference when necessary.
  • Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

Grounding Requirements

A proper grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable running. It is indispensable for preventing lightning strikes and interference. Carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to the grounding specifications, and complete grounding properly based on the actual situation.

Note

  • Effective grounding of the switches is an important guarantee for lightning protection and interference prevention. Therefore, the switch must be properly grounded.
  • The grounding wire is customer supplied.

Secure Grounding

Ensure that the rack and power distribution device are securely grounded when the switch uses the AC power supply. Otherwise, electric shock may occur when the insulation resistance between the power supply inside the switch and the chassis becomes small.

Note

  • The building should provide a protective ground connection to ensure that the device is connected to a protective earth.
  • The O&M personnel should check whether the AC socket is reliably connected to the protective ground of the building. If not, the O&M personnel should use a protective earth conductor from the AC outlet protective earth terminal to the building protective earth.
  • The power socket should be installed near the device and easily accessible.
  • During the device installation, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
  • The cross-sectional area of the protective ground cable should be at least 0.75 mm2 (18 AWG).
  • Install the switch by using 3-core power cords, with a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.75 mm2 or 18AWG per pin

Lightning Grounding

The lightning protection system of facilities is standalone, and is composed of a lightning rod, a down conductor,
and a connector connected to the grounding system. The grounding system is usually used for power reference grounding and safe grounding of the rack. Lightning grounding is required only for facilities and is not required for the switch.

EMC Grounding

Grounding required for electromagnetic compatibility includes shielded grounding, filter grounding, noise and
interference suppression, and level reference, which contribute to the overall grounding requirements. The resistance of the grounding cable should be smaller than 1 ohm.
The switch provides one grounding connector on the back panel, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Grounding of the Switch

Lightning Protection Requirements

When an AC power cord is introduced from outdoors and directly connected to the power port of the switch, the AC power port must be connected to an external lightning resistance socket to protect the switch against lightning strokes. The lightning resistance socket is used as follows: Connect the mains AC power cable to the lightning resistance socket and then connect the switch to the lightning resistance socket. This prevents the current of high-voltage lightning from directly passing through the switch along the mains cable.

Note

  • Surge arrestors are customer supplied.
  • For details of surge arrestors, see the related user guide

EMI Requirements

All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, either from outside or inside of the device or application system, affect the device by capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or electromagnetic waves. EMI occurs due to radiation or conduction, depending on the transmission path.
When the energy, often radio energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component through space, the energy is known as radiated interference. The interference source can be both a part of the interfered system and a completely electrically isolated unit. Conducted interference occurs when interference is transferred from one unit to another through cables which are usually electromagnetic wires or signal cables connecting the source and the sensor. Conducted interference often affects the power supply of the switch, but this can be controlled by a filter. Radiated interference may affect any signal path in the equipment, and is difficult to shield.

  • Interference prevention measures should be taken for the power supply system.
  • Keep the grounding device of the switch far away from the grounding device and lightning grounding device of the power equipment.
  • Keep the switch far away from the high-power radio transmitter, radar launch pad, and high-frequency large-current devices.
  • Take electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary

Note

  • For optical transceivers with a maximum cabling distance of over 40 km (including 40 km), install an optical
    attenuator to avoid overload when using short-distance SMFs.

  • An optical module is a laser transmitter. Do not look directly into the optical module to prevent it from burning your eyes.

  • To keep the optical module clean, ensure that the unused ports remain capped.

  • No additional cable needs to be connected when an SFP cable is used. You need to only plug both ends of the SFP cable into the corresponding ports of the switch.

Note
The BIDI modules must be used in pairs. For example, if you install the GE- SFP-LX20-SM1310-BIDI in the local port, you must install the GE-SFP- LX20-SM1550-BIDI in the peer port

Appendix C — Lightning Protection

Installing an AC Power Arrester (Lightning Resistance Socket)

When an AC power cord is introduced from outdoors and directly connected to the power port of the switch, the AC power port must be connected to an external lightning protection power strip to protect the switch against lightning strokes. The lightning resistance socket can be fixed on the rack, workbench, or wall in the machine room by using cable ties and screws. AC power enters the lightning protection power strip and then enters the switch.

Figure C-1 Power Arrester

Note
The power arrester is not delivered with the switch. Please purchase it based on actual requirements. Important points:

  • Make sure that the PE terminal of the power arrester is well grounded.

  • After the AC power plug of the switch is connected to the socket of the power arrester (lightning resistance
    socket), the lightning protection function is implemented only if the RUN indicator is green and the ALARM indicator is OFF.

  • If the ALARM indicator on the power arrester is red, check whether it is caused by poor grounding connection or by the reversed connection of the Null and Live lines. The detection method is as follows: Use a multimeter to measure the polarity of the power socket for the arrester when the indicator is red. If the N line is on the left and the L line is on the right (facing the socket), the arrester’s PE terminal is not grounded. If not, the polarity of the arrester power cord should be reversed. In this case, you should open the power arrester and rectify the polarity of the connection. If the indicator is still red, the arrester’s PE terminal is not grounded.

Installing the Ethernet Port Arrester

Connect an Ethernet port arrester to the switch to prevent the damage by lightning before connecting an outdoor network cable to the switch.
Tools: Phillips screwdrivers or flat-head screwdriver, multimeter, and diagonal pliers

Installation Steps:

  1. Tear one side of the protective paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the tape to the enclosure of the Ethernet port arrester. Tear the other side of the protective paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the Ethernet port arrester to the switch enclosure. The paste position for the Ethernet port arrester should be as close to the grounding terminal of the switch as possible. over any of its shares arising under its Articles of Association;
  2. According to the distance between the switch grounding terminal and the Ethernet port arrester, cut the grounding cable for the Ethernet port arrester and firmly crimp the grounding cable to the grounding terminal of the switch.
  3. Use a multimeter to check whether the grounding cable for the arrester is in good contact with the grounding terminal and the enclosure of the switch.
  4. Connect the arrester by using an adapter cable (note that the external network cable is connected to the IN end, while the adapter cable connected to the switch is connected to the OUT end) and check whether the service module LED is normal.
  5. Use a nylon cable tie to bind the power cords.

**Figure C-2 Installation of the Ethernet Port Arrester

Note

  • The Ethernet port arrester is only for the 10/100 Mbps copper ports with an RJ-45 connector

  • The Ethernet port arrester is not delivered with the switch. Please purchase it based on actual
    requirements. The Ethernet port arrester user manual contains technical parameters and maintenance
    and installation instructions for the Ethernet port arrester. Carefully read this manual before installation.

  • Pay attention to the following situations during the actual installation to avoid influencing the performance of the Ethernet port arrester:

  • Reversed installation direction of the arrester. Connect the external network cable to the “IN” end and connect the Ethernet port of the switch to the “OUT” end.

  • Poor grounding of the arrester. The grounding cable of the arrester should be as short as possible to ensure
    that it is in good contact with the grounding terminal of the switch. Use a multimeter to confirm the contact condition after grounding.

  • Incomplete arrester installation. If there is more than one port connected to the peer device on the switch, arresters need to be installed on all connection ports for the purpose of lightning protection.

Appendix D — Cabling Recommendations

When the switch is installed in a standard 19-inch rack, secure the cables around the cable management brackets. Adopt top cabling or bottom cabling according to the actual situation in the machine room. All cable connectors used for transit should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet rather than be exposed outside of the cabinet. Power cords are routed beside the cabinet, and top cabling or bottom cabling is adopted according to the actual situation in the equipment room, such as the positions of the DC power distribution box, AC socket, or lightning protection box.

Requirements for Cable Bend Radius

  • The bend radius of a fixed power cord, network cable, or flat cable should be over five times greater than
    their respective diameters. The bend radius of these cables that are often bent or plugged should be over seven times greater than their respective diameters.

  • The bend radius of a fixed common coaxial cable should be over seven times greater than its diameter. The
    bend radius of the common coaxial cable that is often bent or plugged should be over 10 times greater than its diameter.

  • The bend radius of a fixed high-speed cable (such as SFP+ cable) should be over five times greater than its diameter. The bend radius of the fixed high-speed cable that is often bent or plugged should be over 10 times greater than its diameter.

  • Requirement for the Minimum Bend Radius of an Optical Fiber

  • The diameter of a fiber tray to hold fibers should be over 25 times greater than the diameter of the fiber.

  • When an optical fiber is moved, the bend radius of the fiber should be over 20 times greater than the diameter of the fiber.

  • During cabling of an optical fiber, the bend radius of the fiber should be over 10 times greater than the diameter of the fiber.

Precautions for Bundling up Cables

  • Before cables are bundled, mark labels and stick the labels to cables wherever appropriate.

  • Cables should be neatly and properly bundled in the rack without twisting or bending, as shown in Figure D-1.
    Figure D-1 Binding Cables (1)

  • Cables of different types (such as power cords, signal cables, and ground cables) should be separated in
    cabling and bundling. Mixed bundling is disallowed. When they are close to each other, you are advised to adopt crossover cabling. In the case of parallel cabling, maintain a minimum distance of 30 mm (1.18 in.) between power cords and signal cables.

  • The cable management brackets and cabling troughs inside and outside the rack should be smooth without
    sharp corners.

  • The metal hole traversed by cables should have a smooth and fully rounding surface or an insulated lining.

  • Use cable ties to bundle up cables properly. Please do not connect two or more cable ties to bundle up cables.

  • After bundling up cables with cable ties, cut off the remaining part. The cut should be smooth and trim, without sharp corners, as shown in Figure D-2.
    **Figure D-2 Binding Cables (2)

When cables need to be bent, please bundle them up but do not tie cable them where the cables will be bent, as shown in Figure D-3.
Figure D-3 Binding Cables (3)
**

  • Cables not to be assembled or remaining parts of cables should be folded and placed in a proper position of the rack or cable trough. The proper position refers to a position that does not affect device running or damage the switch or cable.

  • Do not bind power cords to the guide rails of moving parts.

  • The power cords connecting moving parts such as door grounding cables should be reserved with some access after being assembled to avoid suffering tension or stress. After the moving part is installed, the remaining cable part should not touch heat sources, sharp corners, or sharp edges. If heat sources cannot be avoided, high-temperature cables should be used.

  • When screw threads are used to fasten cable terminals, the anchor or screw must be tightly fastened, as shown in Figure D-4.
    Figure D-4 Cable Fastening

  • Hard power cords should be fastened in the terminal connection area to prevent stress on terminal connection and cable.

  • Do not use self-tapping screws to fasten terminals.

  • Power cords of the same type and in the same cabling direction should be bundled up into cable bunches, with cables in cable bunches clean and straight.

  • Bundle up cables by using cable ties.

  • Do not tie cables or bundles in a

  • For wiring terminal sockets (such as circuit breakers) with cord end terminals, the metal part of the cord end terminal should not be exposed outside the terminal socket when
    Cable Bunch Diameter (mm)| Binding Spacing (mm)
    ---|---
    10| 80–150 mm (3.15–5.91 in.)
    10–30 mm (0.394–1.18 in.)| 150–200 mm (5.91–7.87 in.)
    30| 200–300 mm (7.87–11.81 in.)

Appendix E — Machine Room Site Selection

  • The machine room should be at least 5 km (3.11 miles) away from heavy pollution sources, such as the smelter works, coal mine, and thermal power plant. The machine room should be at least 3.7 km (2.30 miles)
    away from medium pollution sources, such as the chemical factory, rubber factory, and electroplating factory.
    The machine room should be at least 2 km (1.24 miles) away from light pollution sources, such as the food
    factory and leather plant. If the pollution source is unavoidable, the machine room should be located on the windward side of the pollution source perennially with advanced protection.

  • The machine room should be at least 3.7 km (2.30 miles) away from the sea or salt lake. Otherwise, the machine room must be sealed, with air conditioner installed for temperature control. Saline soil cannot be used for construction. Otherwise, you should select devices with advanced protection against severe environment.

  • Do not build the machine room in the proximity of livestock farms. Otherwise, the machine room should be located on the windward side of the pollution source perennially. The previous livestock house or fertilizer warehouse cannot be used as the machine room.

  • The machine room should be firm enough to withstand severe weather conditions such as windstorm and
    heavy rain as well as away from dust. If the dust is unavoidable, keep the door and window away from the pollution source.

  • The machine room should be away from the residential area. Otherwise, the machine room should meet the construction standard in terms of noise.

  • Make sure the air vent of the machine room is away from the sewage pipe, septic tank, and sewage treatment tank. Keep the machine room under positive pressure to prevent corrosive gas from entering the machine room to corrode components and circuit boards.

  • Keep the machine room away from industrial boiler and heating boiler.

  • The machine room should be on the second floor. Otherwise, the machine room floor should be 600 mm (23.62 in.) higher than the highest flood level ever recorded.

  • Make sure there are no cracks or holes in the wall and floor. If there are cable entries in the wall or window, take proper sealing measures. Ensure that the wall is flat, wear-resistant, and dust-free, which should be up to the standard for flame retarding, soundproofing, heat absorption, dust reduction, and electromagnetic shielding.

  • Keep the door and the window closed to make the machine room sealed.

  • The steel door is recommended for soundproofing.

  • Sulfur-containing materials are forbidden.

  • Keep the air conditioner from blowing wind straight toward the device or blowing water drops from the window or air vent toward the device.
