static-proof hand ring. If there is no hand ring, use the metal clip with the metal cable to
clip the unpainted metal part of the chassis. In this case, the static is discharged to the
ground through the metal cable of the clip. You can also discharge the static to the
ground through your body.
2.3 Requirements for Common Locations
This section describes the requirements for installation locations.
2.3.1 Environment
The switch can be installed on a desk or an equipment cabinet. The location of the
chassis, cabinet planning and indoor cabling are very important for normal system
function. Short distances between devices, bad ventilation and an untouchable control
plate will cause maintenance problems, systematic fault and breakdown.
For location planning and device locating, refer to section 2.3.2 “Location Configuration
Preventio
n”.
2.3.2 Location Configuration Prevention
The following preventive measures assist you to design the proper environment for the
switch.
Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical
devices is well-discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for
device cooling.
Avoid damage to devices by following electrostatic discharge prevention
procedures.
Put the chassis in a place where cool air can blow off the heat inside the
chassis. Make sure the chassis is sealed because the opened chassis will
reverse the cool air flow.
2.3.3 Cabinet Configuration
The following content describes a proper cabinet configuration:
Each device on the cabinet gives off heat when it runs. Therefore, the
sealed cabinet must have a heat-discharge outlet and the cooling fan. Do
not put the devices too close, avoiding bad ventilation.
When you install the chassis in an open cabinet, prevent the frame of the
cabinet from blocking the airway of the chassis.
Ensure that proper ventilation is provided for the devices installed in the
bottom of the cabinet.
The clapboard separates exhaust gas and inflow air, and boost the cool air
to flow in the chassis. The best location of the clapboard is decided by the
