Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent. 3.4 SWITCH GROUND Black Box recommends you ground your switch. Use the EMS100G-32 in a common bond network (CBN). Connect the grounding cables as described in Install the Switch.
NOTE: Use a single type of airflow fan in your switch. Do not mix reverse and normal airflows in a single EMS100G-32 chassis. For proper ventilation, position the EMS100G-32 in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the exhaust vents.
OSP wiring. WARNING: If you install and connect the EMS100G-32 switch to a commercial AC power source, you must connect the switch to an external special protection device (SPD).
