aging of insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life
of your switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different models, refer to section
1.10 "Features of the S3600 Series".

2.2.2 Cleanness

Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your device. The dust accumulated on the
chassis can be adsorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal
connectors or metal contact points. This can not only shorten the service life of your
device but also cause communications failures. When the relative indoor humidity is
low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. The contents of the dust must be
limited as shown in Table 2-1:

Dust
Remarks: The diameter of dust particles should be greater than or equal to 5 μm.
Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the harmful gases that can accelerate the
erosion and aging of metals, such as salts, acids, and sulfides, as shown in Table 2-2.

2.2.3 Electromagnetic Susceptibility
The operation of your switch can be affected by external interferences, such as
conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic
wave radiation, and common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling,
and leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires. To eliminate the
interferences, make sure to:
