Mounting The Switch On A Workbench; Grounding The Switch; Grounding The Switch By Using A Grounding Strip - H3C S1600V2 Series Installation Manual

Mounting the switch on a workbench

If you do not have a 19-inch standard rack or do not need to mount a switch on a wall. In this case,
you can mount the switch on a clean workbench, which is a simple operation.
1. Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
2. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom. This step is required for a
switch model with the rubber feet.
3. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
Follow these restrictions and guidelines during operation:
•
Keep the workbench stable.
•
Reserve a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) around the chassis for heat dissipation.
•
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.

Grounding the switch

NOTE:
This task is required only for the models that come with a grounding cable.
WARNING!
• Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and ESD and EMI
protection. You must connect the grounding cable correctly and reliably for the switch.
• For information about lightning protection for the switch, see H3C Network Devices Lightning
Protection Guide.
To ensure correct operation of electrical devices and personal safety, you must ground electrical
devices reliably. Use a grounding cable to connect the device to the earthing facility at the installation
site.
Reliable grounding of devices brings the following benefits:
•
Protects human body from electric shocks.
•
Protects devices and power and data lines from damages.
•
Prevents electrical fires, lightning strokes, electromagnetic coupling interferences, ESD
damages, and ensures correct operation of the power system.
Select a grounding method based on the installation environment.
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.

Grounding the switch by using a grounding strip

CAUTION:
• Connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a
fire main or lightning rod.
• To guarantee the grounding effect and avoid switch damage, use the grounding cable provided
with the switch to connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room.
