Preparing for Installation

Safety Precautions

Note

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

General Safety Precautions

• Do not place the device in a wet area, and keep it away from liquid.
• Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
• Keep the device away from heat sources.
• Do not place the device, tools, and accessories in walking areas.
• Do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or any other things that may be hooked by the chassis during the installation and maintenance.

Handling Safety

• Avoid handling the device frequently after the device is installed.
• Turn off all power supplies and unplug all power cords and cables before the instal lation or the dismantling.

Electrical Safety

Warning

• Any nonstandard and inaccurate electrical operation can lead to accidents such as fires or electric shocks, causing severe, or even fatal damage to the human body and the device.
• Direct or indirect touch through a wet object on a high voltage and mains supply can bring a fatal danger.
• Observe local regulations and specifications when performing electrical operations. Only qualified personnel should handle these tasks.
• Carefully check the work area for potential hazards, including ungrounded power systems, insufficient grounding, and wet ground.
• Locate the emergency power supply switch in the room before installation. In the case of an accident, cut off the power supply immediately.
• Carefully inspect the device and the environment before powering it on or off the device.
• Select the right leakage protector (also called “leakage current switch” or “leakage current breaker”) for the power supply system.
• This device automatically disconnects the power supply in the event of leakage and the risk of electric shock. A leakage protector should meet the following requirements.
• The rated leakage action current of each leakage protector is greater than twice the theoretical maximum leakage current of all the power supplies in the system.
• For example, if a system is equipped with 16 identical power supplies, and the leakage current of each power supply is equal to or less than 3.5 mA, then the leakage current of the system totals 56 mA. A leakage protector with a rated leakage action current of 30 mA supports no more than four power supplies (that is, the action current of the leakage protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/3.5 4.28). In this case, 16 power supplies in the system require at least four leakage protectors with a rated action current of 30 mA, with each leakage protector supporting four power supplies. Although the number of power supplies in a system differs in models, the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector divided by two must be greater than the sum of the maximum leakage current of all the power supplies.
• The rated leakage nonaction current of a leakage protector should be 50% of the leakage action current.
• For example, if a leakage protector has a rated leakage action current of 30 mA, the rated leakage non-action current should be 15 mA. The leakage protector will not activate unless the leakage current exceeds 15 mA.

Caution

• To ensure personal safety, each leakage protector in the system must have a rated leakage action current equal to or below 30 mA, which is the recognized safety threshold for the human body current.
• If the total leakage current of the system exceeds twice the 30 mA limit, the system must be equipped with two or more leakage protectors to maintain safety.
• For the leakage current value, see Technical Specifications

ESD Safety

• Properly ground both the device and the floor.
• Keep the indoor installation environment clean and free of dust.
• Maintain appropriate humidity conditions.
• Before installing any pluggable module, wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure that it is well grounded.

Installation Environment Requirements

• To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the device, it is essential to install it indoors in a location that meets the following requirements.

Bearing Requirements

• Assess the combined weight of the switch and its accessories, such as power supply modules, and verify that the installation site’s ground meets the necessary specifications to ensure safe and proper operation.

Ventilation Requirements

• Maintain adequate clearance around the device for air circulation and heat dissipation. After connecting various cables, bundle them or place them in cable management brackets to prevent them from blocking air vents.

Space Requirements

• Do not install the device directly against a wall. Instead, maintain a minimum clearance of 0.4 m (15.75 in.) around the device for heat dissipation and device maintenance.

Temperature and Humidity Requirements

• For optimal device performance and extended service life, it is essential to maintain suitable temperature and humidity conditions in the equipment room.
• Prolonged exposure to excessively high or low temperatures and humidity can potentially cause damage to the device.
• When exposed to high relative humidity, insulating materials may exhibit poor insulation capabilities, increasing the risk of electrical leakage. Furthermore, high humidity can cause mechanical changes in materials and corrosion of metallic components.
• When exposed to low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry out and shrink, increasing the risk of static electricity generation. This static electricity can pose a danger to the circuits inside the device.
• In a dry environment, static electricity is prone to occur and damage the internal circuits of the device.
• High-temperature environments can be detrimental to the device, leading to reduced performance and shorter service life. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can expedite the device’s aging process.
• Note The ambient temperature and humidity of the switch are measured 1.5 m (59.06 in.) above the floor and 0.4 m (15.75 in.) before the switch rack when there is no protective plate in front or at the back of the rack.

Cleanliness Requirements

Dust poses a major threat to the running of the device. The buildup of dust on the device can result in static electricity, causing poor contact between the metallic joints. Dust buildup is more likely to occur in environments with low relative humidity, which not only impacts the service life of the device but also increases the likelihood of communication failure. The following table shows the specifications for dust concentration and particle size in the equipment room.

Table 2-1 Requirements for Dust

• Apart from dust, the salt, acid, and sulfide in the air in the equipment room must also meet strict requirements. These harmful substances will accelerate metal corrosion and component aging.
• Therefore, the equipment 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 the limits for harmful gases.

Table 2-2 Requirements for Gases

Note Average indicates the typical level of exposure over one week, while “Maximum” refers to the highest allowable exposure level within a week, with this level being sustainable for no more than 30 minutes per day.

Grounding Requirements

• A proper grounding system is crucial for ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the device, as well as preventing lightning strikes and interference.
• To ensure proper grounding, carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to the grounding specifications, and complete grounding properly based on the actual situation.

Safety Grounding

• Ensure that the cabinet and power distribution device are securely grounded if the device uses the AC power supply.
• Failure to do so may result in an increased risk of electric shock, particularly when the insulation resistance between the power supply inside the device and the chassis decreases.

Caution

• Please adopt grounding protection connections in buildings so that the device can be connected to the protective grounding system.
• Verify that the AC socket is reliably connected to the protective grounding system of the building. If not, a protective grounding wire should be used to connect the protective grounding lug of the AC socket to the protective grounding system of the building.
• The cross-sectional area of the protective grounding wire should be at least 0.75 mm2 (18 AWG).

Lightning Grounding

• The lightning protection system of facilities is standalone and is composed of a lightning rod, a lower conductor, and a connector connected to the grounding system.
• The grounding system is usually used for power reference grounding and safety grounding of the cabinet. Lightning grounding is required only for facilities and is not required for the device

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 grounding resistance should be smaller than 1 ohm, and the grounding terminals of the cabinet should be grounded before the running of the device.

Anti-interference Requirements

• Take interference prevention measures for the power supply system.
• Keep the device away from the grounding equipment or lightning and grounding equipment of the power device as much as possible.
• Keep the device far away from high-frequency current devices such as high-power radio transmitting stations and radar launchers.
• Take electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary.

Lightning Protection Requirements

• Although the device provides a certain level of protection against lightning strikes, it remains vulnerable to exceptionally strong strikes.

The following lightning protection measures should be taken:

• Ensure that the grounding cable of the cabinet is in good contact with the ground.
• Ensure that the neutral point of the AC power socket is in good contact with the ground.
• Install a power lightning arrester in front of the power input end to enhance lightning prevention for the power supply.

Appendix

Connectors and Media

• 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T Ports
• A 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port that supports auto MDI/MDIX.
• Compliant with the IEEE 802.3ab standard, a 1000BASE-T port requires Category 5 100-ohm UTP or Category 5e UTP/STP (STP is recommended) cables with a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 ft.).
• The 1000BASE-T port uses four pairs of wires for data transmission, as shown in Figure 5-1.

In addition to the above cables, a 10BASE-T port uses Category 3, 4, and 5 100-ohm UTP/STP cables while a 100BASE-T port uses Category 5 100-ohm UTP/STP cables. Both support a maximum length of 100 meters (328 ft.).

Lightning Protection

Installing the AC Power Arrester

The AC power connector must be connected to an external lightning protection power strip to prevent the switch from being struck by lightning when the AC power cord is introduced from the outdoor and directly connected to the power connector of the switch. The lightning protection power strip can be fixed on the cabinet, workbench, or wall in the equipment room using cable ties and screws. AC power enters the lightning protection power strip and then gets to the switch.

Caution The power arrester is not delivered with the switch and needs to be purchased separately based on actual requirements.

Precautions for installation:

• Ensure that the PE terminal of the power arrester is well-grounded.
• After the switch’s AC power connector is connected to the socket of the power arrester (lightning protection power strip), the lightning protection function is effective when the RUN LED is Green and the ALARM LED is OFF.
• If the ALARM LED on the power arrester is Red, check whether it is caused by a poor grounding connection or by the reversed connection of the Null and Live lines.
• Use a multimeter to measure the polarity of the power socket for the arrester when the LED is Red. If the N line is on the left and the L line is on the right (facing the socket), the arrester PE terminal is not grounded.
• If the L line is on the left and the N line is on the right, the polarity of the arrester power cord should be reversed. In this case, open the power arrester and rectify the polarity of the connection.
• If the LED is still Red, the arrester PE terminal is not grounded.

Installing the Ethernet Port Arrester

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

Procedure:

1. Remove one side of the protective paper of the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the tape to the housing of the Ethernet port arrester. Remove the other side of the protective paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the Ethernet port arrester to the switch housing. The paste position for the Ethernet port arrester should be as close to the grounding stud of the switch as possible.
2. Based on the distance between the switch grounding stud and the Ethernet port arrester, cut the grounding wire for the Ethernet port arrester and firmly tighten the grounding wire to the grounding stud of the switch.
3. Use a multimeter to check whether the grounding wire for the arrester is in good contact with the grounding stud and the housing of the switch.
4. Connect the arrester using an adapter cable (note that the external Ethernet cable is connected to the IN end, while the adapter cable connected to the switch is connected to the OUT end) and observe whether the LED on the board is normal or not.
5. Use a nylon cable tie to bundle the power cords.

Caution

• The Ethernet port arrester is only for the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with an RJ-45 connector.
• The Ethernet port arrester is not delivered with the switch and needs to be purchased separately based on actual requirements.

During the installation, pay attention to the following:

• Reversed direction of the arrester. Connect the external Ethernet cable to the IN end and connect the Ethernet port of the switch to the OUT end.
• Poor grounding of the arrester. The grounding wire of the arrester should be as short as possible to ensure that it is in good contact with the grounding stud of the switch.
• Use a multimeter to check the contact condition after grounding.
• Insufficient arresters. If there is more than one port on the switch connected to a device, an arrester needs to be installed on each connected port for lightning protection.
