heat dissipation of the device chassis. Ruijie devices are equipped with cooling fans. The cooling principle is as follows: cold air is drawn in from the cooling holes around the chassis and exhausted from the rear of the chassis through the fan.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installation Preparation systems. Ensure that the cabinet and workbench are strong enough to support the device and its mounting accessories. Ensure that the cabinet and workbench are well grounded. Cabinet Installation Requirements If you plan to install the device in the cabinet, confirm that the cabinet meets the following conditions: Use the 19-inch standard cabinet with four posts.
Multimeter Related devices PC, display, keyboard Note RG-AM5528-SF does not come with a tool kit, so the tools on the tool list need to be prepared by users. Installation Caution Ensure that you have carefully read the contents of Chapter 2, and the requirements described in Chapter 2 have been met.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Verifying Operation Status Confirm the location of the emergency power switch in the room. When an accident occurs, turn off the power switch immediately. Cable Connection 1.11 Warning Use the power cord that is delivered with the device to avoid safety accidents. After the device is installed in the cabinet, you need to connect the device to external device ports by the following steps: Connect the power cord delivered with the device into the system power in turn.
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Monitoring and Maintenance Configuration environment diagram Figure 1-6 Power-on 1.14 Check Before Power-on 1.14.1 Check whether the device is properly grounded. Check whether the fan module and power supply module are properly installed. Check whether the power cord is correctly connected.
The fan module that is responsible for heat dissipation of the device has a fault monitoring signal. Once a fault occurs, you will be promoted. To replace the fan, contact Ruijie Networks Customer Service Department for technical support, and Ruijie Networks technicians will use a fan of the same specification for replacement.
