Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read the safety recommendations in this chapter carefully before installing an S3100V2 switch. The recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. General safety recommendations Keep the chassis clean and dust-free. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid. •...
Figure 14 Use an ESD-preventive wrist strap (1) Rack post Safety with laser The S3100V2 Switch Series is a line of class 1 laser products. When a transceiver module on an S3100V2 switch is operating, do not stare into the optical port because the laser light emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.
Table 3 Humidity requirements Humidity Range Operating humidity (noncondensing) 10% to 95% Storage humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95% Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts. Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even electrostatic discharge (ESD), which causes the circuits to fail.
Keep the switch far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high • frequency or high current. • Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary. Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage •...

Troubleshooting TIP: Clean your switch periodically because the noncompliant operating environments of switches may cause switch failures. At the same time, check the installation environments against the requirements in “Preparing for installation.” Make sure the switch operates in a proper environment. Additionally, periodically perform the power-on test for the spare switches.
Check the power supply system. Make sure that the power supply system works properly and outputs a Step2 voltage required by the switch. If the failure still exists, contact the local agents or technical support engineers. Step3 Troubleshooting interfaces Each interface has a corresponding LED. When an interface connected to the network works properly, the corresponding LINK LED is on.
Check the temperature of the switch. The S3100V2-TP-PWR-EI Switch Series provides the overtemperature Step3 protection mechanism. When the internal temperature of the switch exceeds 65°C (149°F), the switch performs self protection and disables PoE on all ports. When the internal temperature drops below 60°C (140°F), the switch enables PoE on all ports.
