CAUTION

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference. In such an environment, the user is required to take adequate safety measures.
Class A products are products that have received EMC Class A certiﬁcation.
During equipment transport and installation, prevent the equipment from colliding with objects like doors, walls, or shelves.

NOTE
Figures in the document are for reference only and may be different from actual devices.

Site Environment

Switches can be pole- or wall-mounted outdoors.
The temperature and humidity in the site must be within the operating temperature and humidity ranges required for the switches. For the operating temperature and relative humidity ranges required for the switches, see the. S5700 Hardware Description
Grounding the switch helps protect it from lightning, electromagnetic interference, and electrostatic discharge. For a PoE-capable switch, grounding the switch also ensures that it can properly supply power to powered devices (PDs).

Surge Protection

Network cables used outdoors must be buried underground or routed through steel pipes to protect the switches from lightning. Do not route network cables overhead.
If the network ports on the switches are connected to devices on a street pole, no surge protector needs to be installed. If the network ports are connected to devices on a tower, a network port surge protector must be installed.
To protect network ports from lightning, use 8-line surge protectors or Huawei certiﬁed 4-line surge protectors.
When installing a network port surge protector, connect the IN ports to network devices and connect the OUT ports to network ports of the switches.
If ﬁber reinforcing ribs are used, ensure that they are properly grounded to protect the switches from lightning.
To prevent the switch or the interconnected device from being damaged, ground the switch before powering it on. The ground resistance must be less than 10 ohms.

Commissioning the Switch

If the switch needs to be commissioned, do so before it is pole- or wall- mounted.
