NOTE:
Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 μm
To eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, the equipment room must also meet limits on
salts, acids, and sulfides, as shown in

Cooling
The device uses left to right airflow for heat dissipation. Plan the installation site for adequate ventilation.
•
H3C recommends that you leave a minimum of 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance around the air vents.
Make sure the rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.

ESD prevention
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:
Ground the device reliably.
•
Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. For more information, see "Cleanliness."
•
•
Maintain the humidity and temperature at acceptable levels. For more information, see
