Preparation before Installation Safety Suggestions To avoid body injury and equipment damage, please carefully read the safety suggestions before you install RG-N18000. The following safety suggestions do not cover all possible dangers. General Suggestions Take security measures (such as wearing an anti-static wrist strap) to ensure safety. Keep the chassis clean, free from any dust.
The N18000 series switches are equipped with an anti-static wrist strap. For the RG-N18014 and RG-N18010 switches, the anti-static wrist strap socket locates at the lower-right corners of the front and back panels.
Figure 2-2 Preventing EMI on RG-N18010 Laser Safety Among the modules supported by RG-N18000, there are a great number of optical modules that are Class I laser products. Precautions:...
Ventilation Requirements See RG-N18014 and RG-N18010 in Product Overview for their heat dissipation and ventilation respectively. Sufficient space (10 cm at least) must be reserved at the air intakes and exhaust vents for ventilation. After connecting various cables, you should bundle the cables or place them in the cable management bracket to avoid blocking air intakes.
On the other hand, in an environment with low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, and static electricity may occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment. Humidity Requirements of the RG-N18000 Operating Humidity Storage Humidity 10% to 90% (non-condensing) 5% to 95% (non-condensing) The ambient humidity is measured at the point that is 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m before the equipment...
Power Requirements When the RG-N18000 can use the following power supplies: RG-PA1600I and RG-PA600I power modules adopt 90 to 264 VAC/ 47 to 63 Hz input. RG-PD1600I and RG-PD600I power modules adopt -40.5 to -75V DC input. Input power shall be larger than the actual power consumption of entire system. For example, the N18014 chassis is installed with two M18014-CM , two M18000-48XS-DB and two M18014-FE-D I modules, the total...
Page 78
The RG-N18000 provides N+M redundancy of power supply. You are recommended to use multiple power supplies for the equipment to ensure its continuous and stable operation by avoiding the impact of unexpected power failures on the equipment. When the dual power supply is applied, the type of the power supply should be identical. System Grounding Requirements A good grounding system is the basis for the stable and reliable operation of the RG-N18000.
Cabinet Mounting Make sure the cabinet complies with the following conditions: Install the switch in a 19-inch cabinet in 4-port form hold. Be sure the distance between two square hole strips, one on each side, is 465 mm. Figure 2-3 19-inch Cabinet ...
Be sure that the slide rail in the cabinet is enough to bear the weight of a RG-N18000 and its installation accessories. Be sure that the cabinet provides an earthing terminal for the switch to be grounded. Be sure that the front and back doors of the cabinet have porosities greater than 50% for good ventilation and heat dissipation.
Unpacking Requirements Goods Checklist Device panels are installed and operational. Chassis Carton Fans, screwdriver, anti-static wrist strap, yellow/green grounding wires, quick installation guide, packing list Modules, packing list, documentation Module Carton A normal delivery should contain the above mentioned items, which may differ from the actual delivery, depending on purchase contracts.
Product Installation RG-N18000 series Ethernet switch must be used and fixed in the room. Make sure you have carefully read part 2 and this part, and be sure that the requirements set forth in part 2 have been met. Installation Procedure Installation Verification The RG-N18000 is complicated equipment, so you must carefully plan and arrange the installation location, networking mode, power supply, and wiring before installation.
