Cleanness; Grounding; Power Supply - H3C WX3024E Installation Manual

Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including
•
loose captive screws and circuit failure.
High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
•
reliability and lifespan of the switch.

Cleanness

Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.

Dust particles
NOTE:
Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components.

Grounding

Using a good grounding system to protect your switch against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD
is essential to the operating reliability of your switch. Make sure that the resistance between the chassis
and the ground is less than 1.5 ohm. For how to ground the switch, see the chapter "Installing the switch
(page 14)."
