Examining the installation environment
To ensure correct operation of your switch, make sure the installation environment meets the requirements listed in Table1-2.
Table1-2 Checking list for the installation environment
|
Item |
Requirements |
|
Ventilation and heat dissipation |
To ensure correct operation of your device, make sure the installation environment is adequately ventilated to prevent the switch from overheating. · Ensure a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) around the chassis. · Do not install the device near a heat source, for example, a stove or heater. · Ensure air ventilation in the installation environment. · Do not block the ventilation holes in the device or power adapter. |
|
Anti-moisture |
Water or moisture might damage the circuits of the device. · Do not place the device near water or in a damp environment. · Install the switch in a clean, dry, and ventilated place where temperature is controlled in a stable range. · Make sure the installation environment is free from water leakage or condensation. If required, install a dehumidification device (such as an air conditioner with a dehumidification function or a dedicated dehumidifier). · Do not operate the device under or near the water source, such as the wash basin, laundry room, or areas with high humidity. · Do not touch the device with wet hands. |
|
Temperature/humidity |
For correct operation and long service life of your switch, maintain the temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable ranges. · Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion. · Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause issues including loose mounting screws and circuit failure. · High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch. For the temperature and humidity requirements of the switch, see technical specifications in SE-S5130 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. |
|
Lightning protection |
Ground the switch correctly and verify the grounding. For more information, see "Grounding the switch." · If you ground the switch by using a grounding strip, make sure the grounding resistance of the grounding strip in the equipment room is less than 1W. · If you ground the switch by using a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground, make sure the grounding resistance of the grounding conductor in the ground is less than 10W. · Route the signal cables along indoor walls, bury the cables in the earth ground, or thread the cables through steel tubes. Install a signal lightning arrester with a nominal discharge current for a corresponding network interface. · Keep the signal cables far from power cords and lightning rod down conductors. · As a best practice, route power cords indoors. If an AC power cord is routed from outdoors, connect the AC power cord first to a power lightning arrester before leading it to the AC power port on the switch. Make sure the power lightning arrester has a nominal discharge current and the total length of the power cord from the power lighting arrester to the power port on the switch is less than 5 m (16.40 ft). · Ground the switch, rack, independent power supplies, and lightning arresters separately. · You must ground optical fibers with reinforcing metal stiffener from outdoors on an optical distribution frame (ODF) or fiber splice enclosure. |
|
Cable routing |
Do not run an Ethernet cable and power cord in parallel. · Route different types of cables separately. · Keep power cords a minimum of 5 cm (1.97 in) away from other cables. |
|
ESD prevention |
· Ground the switch correctly. · To avoid ESD damage to the device or components, always wear an ESD wrist strap when you install or remove the device or components. · Make sure the wrist strap has good skin contact and is reliably grounded. |
|
Cleanliness |
· For more information, see "Cleanliness." |
|
Corrosive gas prevention |
The installation site must be free from corrosive gases such as acid gases and alkaline gases. For more information, see "Corrosive gas limit." |
|
EMI |
· 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 device far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices. · Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary. |
Cleanliness
Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in poor contact of metal connectors and contact points. This might shorten the device's lifetime and even cause device failure in the worst case. Table1-3 describes the switch requirement for cleanliness.
