  • Page 30: Thermal Considerations

    Revised 2015-08-05 Thermal Considerations The EL326 switches are designed to operate from -35 to +80˚C when they are installed properly. The switch is cooled via conduction and radiation. There are no fans. Instead there are various heat-sinks inside the switch to conduct the heat from the components to the heavy-gauge aluminum case.

  • Page 31: Section 3 Power And Output Wiring

    Introduction and Overview The EL326 switches are available with several power options including dual power supplies that can keep the switch running when there is a power input failure or internal power supply failure. Refer to Table 1-1 for the avail- able standard power supply options.

  • Page 32: Dd Option Operation

    Safety Grounding For the highest electrical safety the EL326 switches are provided with several grounding points. First, there are two green ground screws (see Figure 1-1) that attach directly to the switch case. These screws can be used to provide a NEBS compliant safety ground.

  • Page 33: Power Labeling

    (see Figure 1-3). If your switch does not have dual power inputs then do not connect any- thing to the terminals labeled Power 2. The power header/plug connectors are rated for 300V, 10A and 105C. Figure 1-2. Power Header and Plug Labeling Figure 1-3. Power Wiring Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...

    AWG. When tightening the screws be careful to tighten to a maximum torque of 4.5 in/lb (0.51 Nm). It is recom- mend to use a minimum of 18 AWG and 105C rated wiring for the input power and relay connections. Using 600V rated wire is preferred (300V minimum). Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...

  • Page 36: Connecting Per En/Iec 61010-1

    1. A switch or circuit-breaker must be included in the installation. 2. The switch or circuit-breaker must be suitably located and easily reached. 3. The switch or circuit-breaker must be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment. Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...

  • Page 37: Section 4 Communication Ports Wiring

    SFP (pluggable) Ethernet ports and console (serial RS232) ports. Gigabit RJ45 Ports 1-24 The EL326 switch has 24 Gigabit RJ45 copper ports that accept 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted pair cabling (shown in Figure 1-1). Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5E (or better) with standard RJ45 connectors.

  • Page 38: Rj45 Cable Distance

    Ports 21 through 24 offer flexible SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) connectors that support 100 or 1000 Mbps fiber optic SFP transceivers. On these 4 ports you can mix and match different types of SFP fiber transceivers as desired. Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...

  • Page 39: Sfp Transceivers

    The RJ45 ports will auto-sense for Full or Half duplex operation, while the fiber ports default to full duplex operation or can be configured for Full or Half duplex. Refer to the software user manual for details on the software configu- ration options. Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...

  • Page 40: Verifying Connectivity

    The switch supports a line- and ring-topology stacking configuration, or can be used stand alone. To ensure minimal disruption in case a unit or stacking cable fails, we recommend always use a ring-topology. Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...

    5. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector, tighten the retainer screws to secure the module in the slot. 6. The Module LED on the switch’s front panel should turn green to confirm that the module is correctly installed and ready to use. Sixnet Series EL326 Switch Hardware Guide...
