2. Installation Notice
To ensure the proper operation of Arctica 4806xp and your physical security, please
read carefully the following installation guide.
2.1.Environmental Requirements
■
The switch must be installed in a clean area. Otherwise, the switch may be damaged
by electrostatic adherence.
■
Maintain the temperature within 0 to 40 °C and the humidity within 10% to 90%, non-
condensing.
■
The switch must be put in a dry and cool place. Leave sufficient spacing around the
switch for good air circulation.
■
The switch must work in the range of AC power input: 100 ~
240VAC
(
50/60Hz)
.
■
The switch must be well grounded in order to avoid ESD damage and physical injury
of people.
■
The switch should avoid the sunlight perpendicular incidence. Keep the switch away
from heat sources and strong electromagnetic interference sources.
■
The switch must be mounted to a standard 19’’ rack or placed on a clean level desk-
top.
2.1.1.Dust and Particles
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of Arctica 4806xp. Dust can lead to electrostatic
adherence, especially likely under low relative humidity, causing poor contact of metal
connectors or contacts. Electrostatic adherence will result in not only reduced product
lifespan, but also increased chance of communication failures. The recommended value
for dust content and particle diameter in the site is shown below:

In addition, salt, acid and sulfide in the air are also harmful to the switch. Such harm-
ful gases will aggravate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. The site should
avoid harmful gases, such as SO
