2.2 Installation Environment Requirements To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the device, the installation site must meet the following requirements. You are not advised to install the RG-S2915-L series switches in a ELV box. 2.2.1 Ventilation and Cooling Requirements Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in.) on both sides of the chassis and around the back panel of the switch for normal air...
2.2.5 Grounding Requirements A proper grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable running of the RG-S2915-L series switches and is indispensable for preventing lightning strikes and interference. Carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to the grounding specifications, and complete grounding properly based on the actual situation.
The resistance of the ground cable should be smaller than 1 ohm. Each of the RG-S2915-L series switches provides one grounding connector on the back panel, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparing for Installation Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs due to electromagnetic radiation or conduction, depending on the transmission path. When the energy, often RF energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component via the space, the energy is known as radiated interference.
The installation environment meets the temperature and humidity requirements of the device. The power supply and required current are available in the installation site. The Ethernet cables have been deployed in the installation site. 3.3 Installing the RG-S2915-L Series Switches Precautions Pay attention to the following points during installation:...
Do not place anything on the RG-S2915-L series switches. Maintain sufficient ventilation space (more than 10 cm/3.94 in.) around the device to ensure good air circulation. Do not stack the device.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Switch Figure 3-3 Securing the Switch to the Rack 3.3.2 Mounting the Switch on a Wall You can also mount the RG-S2915-L switch on a wall with the provided mounting brackets. Take out the screws (delivered with the mounting bracket) from the packaging materials. Rotate the mounting brackets by 90 degrees, and secure the mounting brackets to the switch by using the screws.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installing the Switch Use expansion screws to secure the switch to a wall. Figure 3-5 Securing the Switch to the Wall If wall mount is adopted, the device can only be mounted on a concrete or non-flammable surface. 3.3.3 Mounting the Switch on a Workbench In many cases, users do not have a standard 19-inch rack.

Appendix D — Cabling Recommendations in Installation When RG-S2915-L series switches are installed in standard 19-inch cabinets, the cables are tied in the binding rack on the cabinet by the cabling rack, and top cabling or bottom cabling is adopted according to the actual situation in the equipment room. All cable connectors should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet in an orderly manner instead of outside the cabinet easy to touch.
Page 54
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix D — Cabling Recommendations in Installation Cables of different types (such as power cords, signal cables, and grounding cables) should be separated in cabling and bundling. When they are close, crossover cabling can be adopted. In the case of parallel cabling, power cords and signal cables should maintain a space equal to or greater than 30 mm.
Page 55
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix D — Cabling Recommendations in Installation during commissioning. The power cords cannot be bundled on the guide rails of moving parts. The power cables connecting moving parts such as door grounding wires should be reserved with some access after assembled. When the moving part reaches the installation position, the remaining part should not touch heat sources, sharp corners, or sharp edges.
Page 56
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix D — Cabling Recommendations in Installation 80-150 10-30 150-200 200-300 No knot is allowed in cabling or bundling. For solder-less terminal blocks (such as air switches) of the cold pressing terminal type, the metal part of the cold pressing terminal should not be exposed outside the terminal block when assembled.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix E — Site Selection Appendix E — Site Selection The machine room should be at least 5 km away from the heavy pollution source such as the smelter, coal mine and thermal power plant, 3.7 km away from the medium pollution source such as the chemical industry, rubber industry and electroplating industry, and 2 km away from the light pollution source such as the food manufacturer and leather plant.
