Mounting method of a front mounting bracket
QX-S5500 Series Ethernet Switches has one front mounting position (near the network
ports) and one rear mounting position (near the power modules). It's possible to install front
mounting brackets for rear mounting position. Please choose front mounting position and
the rear mounting position according to the installation requirements.
3.1.2 Mounting the Switch on a Workbench
In many cases, standard 19-inch racks are not available. Therefore, switches are often
placed on clean workbenches. To place your switch on a workbench, you simply need to:
Make sure that the workbench is clean, flat, and sturdy.
Make sure that the environment is well ventilated and allows 10 cm of space around
the chassis for heat dissipation.
Do not place heavy objects on your switch.
The vertical distance between two switches must be at least 1.5 cm.
3.2 Connecting the Power Cords and the Grounding Cable
3.2.1 Connecting the AC Power Cable
I. AC power socket (recommended)
You are recommended to use a single-phase three-wire power socket with a neutral point
or a multifunctional PC power socket. Make sure that the socket is furnished with an
over-current protection device such as air switch and that the neutral point is well
connected to building ground. Normally, the neutral point of the power source in a building
has been buried in the ground during construction and cable routing. Still, you must make
sure that the power source of the build is reliably grounded.
