Installing the Switch
30
Connect the power cables of different colors to the corresponding grounding connectors.
Ensure that the power cables are well grounded.
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in.) around the chassis to facilitate heat
dissipation. Do not stack the devices.
Keep the switch far away from high-frequency current devices such as high-power radio
transmitting station and radar launcher. Take electromagnetic shielding measures when
necessary, such as electromagnetic shielding cables.
Adopt indoor cabling. Outdoor cabling is prohibited to prevent damages to interfaces
due to over-voltage or over-current caused by lightning.
