Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
Preparing for Installation
50
⚫
Do not stare at any optical port.
Caution
Do not approach or stare at any fiber port under any circumstances, as this may cause permanent damage to
your eyes.
2.2
Installation Environment Requirements
Install the switch indoors to ensure its normal operation and prolonged service life.
The installation site must meet the following requirements.
2.2.1
Bearing Requirements
Evaluate the weight of the switch and its accessories (for example, the cabinet, chassis, and power supply
modules), and ensure that the ground of the installation site meets the requirements.
2.2.2
Ventilation Requirements
Reserve sufficient space in front of the air vents to ensure normal heat dissipation. After various cables are
connected, bundle the cables or place them in the cable management bracket to avoid blocking air inlets.
2.2.3
Space Requirements
To dissipate heat and maintain the switch, do not install it against walls. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm
(3.94 in.) around the chassis to facilitate heat dissipation.
2.2.4
Temperature/Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the RG-ES1 series switches, maintain an
appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
The equipment room with too high or too low temperature and humidity for a long period may damage the
switch.
⚫
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have poor insulation or even leak
electricity.
⚫
In an environment with low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, loosening screws.
⚫
In a dry environment, static electricity is prone to occur and damage the internal circuits of the switch.
⚫
Too high temperatures can accelerate the aging of insulation materials, greatly reducing the reliability of the
switch and severely affecting its service life.
For details about the operating temperature and humidity requirements of the switch, see section
1.2.5
Instruction
The ambient temperature and humidity of the switch are measured at the point that is 1.5 m (59.06 in.) above
the floor and 0.4 m (15.75 in.) before the switch rack when there is no protective plate in front or at the back of
the rack.
