Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2.1 Precautions
To avoid any device impairment and body injury resulting from improper use, please
take the following precautions:
Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power. Do not clean the switch with wet
cloth or liquid.
Keep the switch away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk, because the switch might be
damaged severely in case of a fall.
Keep the switch room drafty and the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction.
The switch can operate normally only under correct voltage input. Make sure that
the operating voltage is consistent with that labeled on the switch.
To prevent electric shock, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating,
and do not open the chassis arbitrarily even when the switch is powered off.
Before changing interface cards, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to prevent
the cards from being damaged by electrostatic discharge.
2.2 Requirements on Environment
S3100 Series Ethernet Switches must be used indoors. When you install your switch in
a cabinet or on a desk, you must ensure:
Enough space is reserved near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the
switch for heat dissipation of the switch chassis.
The cabinet or the workbench takes good ventilation and heat dissipation system.
The cabinet or the desk is solid enough to bear the weight of the switch and the
accessories.
The cabinet or the desk is well grounded.
To ensure normal operation and to prolong the life span of the switch, the following
requirements on the installation site must also be satisfied.
2.2.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements
You should keep your equipment room within the proper temperature and humidity
ranges to ensure the normal operation and working life of your switch. If the humidity in
the equipment room is too high for a long time, it may decrease the insulation attribute
of insulating material or even cause electric leakage of insulating material, and,
sometimes, may change the mechanical performance of material and cause the
