Motorola WiNG 4.4, Reference Manual, Page: 19 / 598

Overview 1 - 3
A power cord is not supplied with a RFS4000, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch. Use only a correctly rated power cord
certified for the country of operation
.
1.1.1.1 Power Consumption
The power consumption for RFS7000, RFS6000, and RFS4000 are as follows:
1.1.1.2 Power Protection
To best protect the switch from unexpected power surges or other power-related problems, ensure the switch installation
meets the following guidelines:
• If possible, use a dedicated circuit to protect data processing equipment . Commercial electrical contractors are familiar
with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load balancing of dedicated circuits.
• Install surge protection . Use a surge protection device between the electricity source and the switch.
• Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) . A UPS provides continuous power during a power outage. Some UPS
devices have integral surge protection. UPS equipment requires periodic maintenance to ensure reliability.
1.1.1.3 Cabling Requirements
A minimum of one category 6 Ethernet cables (not supplied) are required to connect the switch to the LAN and WLAN. The
cable(s) are used with the Ethernet ports on the front panel of the switch.
The console cable included with the switch connects the switch to a computer running a serial terminal emulator program
to access the switch’s
Command Line Interface (CLI) for initial configuration. An initial configuration is described within
the Installation Guide shipped with each switch.
Operating Temperature 0°C - 40°C (32°F - 104°F)
Operating Humidity 5% - 85% RH, non-condensing
RFS7000 Maximum Power Consumption: 100W
RFS6000 Maximum Power Consumption: 300W
RFS4000 AC Input Voltage: 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz
Maximum Power Consumption: 120W
Switch Note: On an RFS6000 and RFS7000, Motorola Solutions recommends connecting
via the Management Ethernet (ME) interface to better ensure secure and easier manage-
ment. The ME interface is connected to the management VLAN, and is therefore separate
from production VLANs.
Switch Note: On the RFS4000 and RFS6000 the Uplink (UP) port is the preferred method
of connecting the switch to the network. The Uplink port has its own dedicated 1Gbps con-
nection which is unaffected by internal traffic across the GE ports.
