Ruijie RG-NBS3100 Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation before Installation 2 Preparation before Installation 2.1 Safety Suggestions To avoid personal injury and device damage, carefully read the safety suggestions before you install the RG-NBS3100 series. The following safety suggestions do not cover all possible dangers.
Ruijie RG-NBS3100 Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation before Installation action current of the leakage protector/2/maximum leakage current of each power supply = 30/2/1 .5 = 10). In other words, the leakage protector with 30 mA rated action current supports no more than ten power supplies. In this case, the twenty power supplies in the system require at least two leakage protectors with 30 mA rated action current and each leakage protector supports ten power supplies.
Page 20
Ruijie RG-NBS3100 Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation before Installation recommended that you clean the switch at regular intervals (like once every three months). In particular, avoid dust from blocking the screen mesh on the back of the cabinet.
