Installation Site Requirements; Pre-Start Checklist - D-Link DGS-8010 Quick Installation Manual

Installation Site Requirements

1. Place the switch in the right place.
2. If you plan to mount a switch of the
DGS-8000 series in a cabinet, you must
make sure that the cabinet meets the
following requirements:
- Install the switch in an open cabinet if
possible. If you install the switch inside
a closed cabinet, please ensure that the
cabinet has a good ventilation and heat
dissipation system.
- Ensure that the cabinet is strong enough
to bear the weight of the switch and its
installation accessories.
- Ensure that the cabinet is big enough to
leave enough space for effective heat
dissipation around all the sides of the
chassis modules, even after the switch's
side panels have been inserted.
- The cabinet should be properly grounded.
3. The figures below show the ventilation
requirements of the DGS-8000 range of
switches. You must ensure that sufficient
spacing is reserved around the ventilation
openings to ensure effective ventilation.
All connected cables should be tied into
bundles or placed on cabling racks to
minimize blockage of the air inlets and
outlets.
4. Refer to figures 4-1 and 4-2 below for the
ventilation areas of the DGS-8010 and
DGS-8006, respectively.

Pre-start Checklist

Before powering on a DGS-8000 series switch,
make sure that:
• The fan meets current requirements. For
details, refer to the 'Fan' section below.
• The power system is suitable. For details,
refer to the 'Power Supply' section below.
• The power system is fastened properly with
screws.
• Do not power on the system during
maintenance.
• Do not work alone when potentially
hazardous conditions exist.
• Make sure that there is no potential risk in
the work area - for example, ungrounded
power and moist floors.
• Keep the chassis switch away from wet
areas.
• Be aware of the emergency power-off
switch in the room in which you are working.
If there is an accident, immediately turn off
the power switch.
• Make sure that all the power systems are
powered off when necessary.
• Ensure that the power cords are firmly
connected to the power modules.
• Ensure that the power cables are long
enough for the installation.
• Ensure that the rated current of the power
bank is not greater than 16 A and the power
bank is grounded well.
• Ensure that each power module is plugged
into a power socket of the chassis switch.
Fan
Precaution:
• The DGS-8010 and DGS-8006 use
standard fans for heat dissipation.
