Chapter 2  Installation Preparation

2.1  Safety Precautions

To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules:

l           Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power plug of the switch first. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.

l           Do not place the switch near water or any damp area. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.

l           Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall.

l           Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of the switch free of obstruction.

l           Make sure that the operating voltage is the same one labeled on the switch.

l           Do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when electrical hazards are present to avoid electrical shocks.

l           When replacing interface cards, wear ESD-protective gloves to avoid damaging the cards.

2.2  Installation Site

The S3610 series must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a tabletop/workbench, but make sure:

l           Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents for ventilation.

l           The rack or table/workbench has a good ventilation system.

l           The rack is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories.

l           The rack or table/workbench is well earthed.

To ensure normal operation and long service life of your VG, install it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsections.

2.2.1  Temperature/Humidity

You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Refer to Table 1-11. Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is two low, captive screws may become loose as the result of contraction of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the CMOS circuits on the device. High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates aging of insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life of your switch.

2.2.2  Cleanness

Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your device. The dust accumulated on the chassis can be adsorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal connectors or metal contact points. This can not only shorten the service life of your device but also cause communications failures. When the relative indoor humidity is low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. The contents of the dust must be limited as shown in the following table:

Table 2-1 Dust content limits in an equipment room

Substance	Unit	Content
Dust	Particles/m³	≤ 3 × 104 (No visible dust on the tabletop for three days)
Remark: the diameter of a dust particle ≥ 5 μm

 

Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the harmful gases that can accelerate the erosion and aging of metals, such as salts, acids, and sulfides, as shown in the following table.

Table 2-2 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room

Gas	Maximum (mg/m3)
SO2	0.2
H2S	0.006
NH3	0.05
Cl2	0.01

 

2.2.3  Electromagnetic Susceptibility

The operation of your switch can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling, and leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires. To eliminate the interferences, make sure to:

l           For the AC power supply that adopts TN system, use a monophase three-line power socket with Protection Earth (PE) to effectively filter interference from the power grid.

l           Keep the device far from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices.

l           Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary, for example, use shielded interface cables.

l           Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

2.2.4  Laser Safety

The S3610 series are class-1 laser devices.

When the optical ports on your switch are operating, do not stare into the optical ports because the laser light emitted by the optical fiber can hurt your retina.

 

 

2.3  Installation Tools

l           Flat-blade screwdriver

l           Phillips screwdriver

l           ESD-preventive wrist strap

Step 2: Directly insert the connector into DC-input socket on the cabinet, and then fix the screws 1 and 2 carried by the connector itself to the appropriate holes on the cabinet socket using a small flathead screwdriver, see Figure 3-13.

Step 3: Check that the RPS LED on the front panel of the switch is ON.

 

 

3.2.3  Connecting the Ground Wire

 

 

The power input end of the switch is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). This chassis ground must be securely connected to the earth ground so that the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the ground, enhancing the EMS capability of the switch.

Ground your switch as follows:

l           When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the yellow/green ground wire of the switch to the grounding screw on the grounding strip and fasten the captive nut. (Note that the fire main and lightning rod of a building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The ground wire of the switch should be connected to the grounding device for the equipment room.)

(1) Power input on the switch	(2) Grounding screw on the switch
(3) Ground wire	(4) Grounding strip

Figure 3-14 Grounding the switch through a grounding strip

l           When there is no grounding strip but earth near the equipment room that allows a grounding body to be buried, hammer an angle iron/steel pipe longer than 0.5 m into the earth, weld the yellow-green ground wire of the switch onto the angle iron/steel pipe, and process the joint against erosion.
