Preparing for Installation
Safety Precautions
Note
- To avoid device damage and physical injury, please read the safety precautions carefully before installing the device.
- The following safety precautions may not cover all possible dangers.
General Safety Precautions
- Install the device in a standard 19-inch cabinet.
- Do not place the device in a wet position, and keep the device away from liquid. Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
- Place the device away from heat sources.
- Make sure that the cabinet and the power distribution system are properly grounded.
- Do not place the device in walking areas.
- Do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or other items that may be hooked by the chassis during installation and maintenance.
- Keep the tools and components away from walking areas.
Handling Safety
- Avoid handling the device frequently after installation.
- Cut off all power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving and handling the device.
- Do not handle the device alone. At least two persons are needed. Keep balance and prevent personal injuries when handling the device.
Electric Safety
Warning
-
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 or indirect contact with high voltage or mains supply through wet objects may cause fatal dangers.
-
Observe local rules and regulations when performing electric operations. Only personnel with relevant qualifications can perform such operations.
-
Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is grounded, whether the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.
-
Learn about the position of the indoor emergency power switch before installation. Cut off the power switch in case of accidents.
-
Check the device carefully before shutting down the power supply.
-
Select a correct leakage protector (also referred to as “leakage current switch” or “leakage current breaker”) for the power supply system. When there is a risk of leakage and electric shock, the power supply is automatically disconnected. A correct leakage protector should meet the following requirements:
-
The rated leakage action current of each leakage protector is greater than twice of the theoretical maximum leakage current of all the power supplies in the system. For example, if a system is equipped with16 identical power supplies, the leakage current of each power supply is equal to or less than 3.5 mA, and the leakage current of the system totals 56 mA. A leakage protector with 30 mA rated action current supports less than five power supplies (that is, Action current of the leakage protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/3 .5 ≈ 4.28). In other words, the leakage protector with 30 mA rated action current supports no more than four power supplies. In this case, the 16 power supplies in the system require at least four leakage protectors with 30 mA rated action current and each leakage protector supports four 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.
-
Caution
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 30 mA, the system must be equipped with two or more leakage
protectors.
For the leakage current value, see Section 1.3 Technical Specifications.
Electrostatic Discharge Safety
- Ensure that the device is properly grounded.
- Keep the indoor installation environment free of dust.
- Maintain proper humidity conditions in the installation environment.
- Before installing various pluggable modules, please wear an anti-static wrist strap and ensure that the anti-static wrist strip is properly grounded.
Installation Environment Requirements
The device must be installed indoors. To ensure its normal operation and
prolonged service life, the installation site must meet the following
requirements.
Bearing Requirements
Evaluate the weight of the switch and its accessories (for example, the
cabinet, chassis, and power supply modules), and ensure that the ground of the
installation site meets the requirements.
Ventilation Requirements
Maintain a proper clearance around the device for air circulation and normal
heat dissipation. After various cables are connected, bundle the cables or
place them in the cable management bracket to avoid blocking air inlets.
Space Requirements
- It is recommended that the width of the equipment room corridor be greater than 0.8 m (31.50 in.) to ensure enough space for chassis handling and module maintenance.
- Please do not install the device against the wall. Instead, maintain a minimum clearance of 0.4 m (15.75 in.) around the device for heat dissipation and device maintenance.
Temperature/Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the device,
maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
The equipment room with too high or too low temperature and humidity for a
long period may cause damage to the device.
- In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have poor insulation or even leak electricity.
- In an environment with low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, loosening screws.
- In a dry environment, static electricity is prone to occur and damage the internal circuits of the device.
- Too high temperatures can accelerate the aging of insulation materials, greatly reducing the reliability of the device and severely affecting its service life.
Note
The ambient temperature and humidity of the device are measured at the point
that is 1.5 m (59.06 in.) above the floor and 0.4 m (15.75 in.) before the
device 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 device. The indoor dust takes on a positive
or negative static electric charge when falling on the device, causing poor
contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adhesion may occur more
easily when the relative humidity is low, not only affecting the service life
of the device, but also causing communication faults. The following table
describes the requirements for the dust content and granularity in the server
room.
Table 2-1 Requirements for Dust
Dust | Unit | Content |
---|---|---|
Dust particles (diameter ≥ 0.5 μm) | Particles/m3 | ≤ 3.5 × 106 |
Dust particles (diameter ≥ 5 μm) | Particles/m3 | ≤ 3.5 × 104 |
Apart from dust, the salt, acid, and sulfide in the air in the server room must 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 limit values for harmful gases.
Table 2-2 Requirements for Gases
Gas | Average (mg/m 3 ) | Maximum (mg/m 3 ) |
---|---|---|
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. Maximum refers to the upper limit of harmful gases measured in one week,
and the maximum value lasts up to 30 minutes every day.
Grounding Requirements
A proper grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable running and 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

Lightning Protection
Installing AC Power Arrester (lightning protection cable row)
The AC power port 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 port
of the switch. The lightning protection power strip can be fixed on the
cabinet, workbench, or wall in the equipment room by using cable ties and
screws. AC power enters the lightening protection power strip and then gets to
the switch.
Figure 5-5 Power Arrester
Caution
The power arrester is not delivered with the switch. Please purchase it based
on actual requirements.
Precautions for installation
- Make sure that the PE terminal of the power arrester has been well-grounded;
- After the switch AC power plug is connected to the socket of the power arrester (lightning protection cable row), lightning protection function implements if 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 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 has not been grounded.
Installing the Ethernet Port Arrester
Please 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
- Tear one side of the protective paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the tape to the housing 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 housing. The paste position for the Ethernet port arrester should be as close to the ground terminal of the switch as possible.
- Based on the distance between the switch grounding stud and the Ethernet port arrester, cut the grounding cable for the Ethernet port arrester and firmly tighten the grounding cable to the grounding stud of the switch.
- Use a multimeter to check whether the grounding cable for the arrester is in good contact with the grounding stud and the housing of the switch.
- Connect the arrester by 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 borad is normal or not.
- Use a nylon cable tie to bundle the power cords.
Caution
- The Ethernet port arrester is only for the 10/100M copper Ethernet ports with the RJ-45 connector
- The Ethernet port arrester is not delivered with the switch. Please purchase it based on actual requirements.
During the actual installation, pay attention to the following items
- Reversed installation 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 cable 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 confirm the contact condition after the 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.
