Grounding

Using a good grounding system to protect your switch against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD is essential to the operating reliability of your switch. Make sure that the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1.5 ohm. For how to ground the switch, see the chapter “Installing the switch (page 14).”

Power supply

To satisfy the power supply requirements of the WX3024E:

1. Calculate the system power consumption

The total power consumption of a WX3024E depends on the number of PDs connected to it. For more information about the system power consumption, see the chapter “Product overview (page 3).”

2. Check that the power supply system on the installation site satisfies the power input of the power supply modules.

Make sure the power supply system of the installation site is steady and can satisfy the input requirements of the power supply modules such as rated voltage.

Space

For adequate ventilation and ease of maintenance, adhere to the following requirements:

· Adequate space is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for heat dissipation. H3C recommends you to reserve a space greater than 10 cm (3.94 in).

· The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.

EMI

All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, take the following actions:

· If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid.

· Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices.

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

· Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or over-current caused by lightning strikes.
