2.1.4 Static Discharge Damage Prevention
To prevent damage from static electricity, pay attention to the following:
Proper grounding of grounding screws on the back panel of the device. Use of a three-wire single-phase socket with
protective earth wire (PE) as the AC power socket.
Indoor dust prevention
Proper humidity conditions
2.1.5 Laser Safety
The RG-S2900G-E series switch supports varying models of optical modules sold on the market which are Class I laser
products. Improper use of optical modules may cause damage. Therefore, pay attention to the following when you use
them:
When a fiber transceiver works, ensure that the port has been connected with an optical fiber or is covered with a
dust cap, to keep out dust and avoid burning your eyes.
When the optical module is working, do not pull out the fiber cable and stare into the transceiver interface or you may
hurt your eyes.
Do not stare into any optical port under any circumstances, as this may cause permanent damage to your eyes.
2.2 Installation Site Requirements
To ensure the normal working and a prolonged durable life of the equipment, the installation site must meet the following
requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation Requirements
For the RG-S2900G-E series, you must ensure that sufficient space (10 cm distance from both sides and the back panel
of the cabinet) is reserved at the ventilation openings to ensure the normal ventilation. During the jumper process of the
device, prevent the cables from blocking the cellular heat dissipation holes around the device. Be especially careful for the
RG-S2928G-E device. This high-speed forwarding device adopts the fan-free design; therefore, it has high requirement
for heat dissipation of the operating environment.
Dust the device every three months to avoid blocking the ventilation
openings.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of RG-S2900G-E series, you should keep proper temperature
and humidity in the equipment room.
If the equipment room has temperature and humidity that do not meet the requirements for a long time, the equipment
may be damaged.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak electricity.
Sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may get rusted.
