|
Hot surface |
Use caution when working near the hot
surface. If the switch has a hot surface sign |
|
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. For the temperature and humidity requirements of the switch, see the hardware information and specifications for the switch. |
|
Lightning protection |
· If a grounding strip is available, make sure the grounding resistance of the device grounding connection to the equipment room's grounding strip must be less than 1 ohm. · If no grounding strip is available and a grounding body (such as an angel iron) is buried into the earth, make sure the grounding resistance of the buried grounding body is less than 10 ohms. Properly ground the switch and check the grounding effectiveness. · 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 |
· Route different types of cables separately. · Keep power cords a minimum of 5 cm (1.97 in) away from other cables.
Do not run an Ethernet cable and power cord in parallel. |
|
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. |
|
