Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Preparing for Installation Safety Precautions Note To avoid bodily injury and device damage, carefully read the safety precautions before you install the device. The following safety precautions may not cover all possible dangers. 2.1.1 General Safety Precautions ...
Installation Guide Preparing for Installation the risk of electric shock. A leakage protector should meet the following requirements: ○ The rated leakage action current of each leakage protector is greater than twice of the theoretical maximum leakage current of all the power supplies in the system. For example, if a system is equipped with 16 identical power supplies, and the leakage current of each power supply is equal to or less than 3.5 mA, then the leakage current of the system totals 56 mA.
Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Figure 2-1 Laser Product Warning Warning Do not approach or look directly into any optical port under any circumstances. This may cause permanent damage to your eyes. Installation Environment Requirements Install the device indoors to ensure its normal operation and prolonged service life. The installation site must meet the following requirements.
Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Note The operating temperature and humidity of the device are measured 1.5 m (59.06 in.) above the floor and 0.4 m (15.75 in.) before the rack when there is no protective plate in front or at the back of the rack. 2.2.5 Cleanliness Requirements Dust poses a major threat to the operational safety of the device.
Installation Guide Preparing for Installation Secure Grounding Ensure that the rack and power distribution device are securely grounded if the device uses the AC power supply. Failure to do so may result in an increased risk of electric shock, particularly when the insulation resistance between the power supply inside the device and the chassis decreases.

Installation Guide Installing the Switch During device installation, connect the grounding cable first and disconnect it last. The cross-sectional area of a protective grounding cable should be at least 2.5 mm (12 AWG). The sectional area of a grounding cable should be determined by the possible maximum current. Grounding cables with good conductors should be used.
Installation Guide Installing the Switch 3.6.2 Steps (1) Bind the drooping part of the optical cables and twisted-pair cables, and route them to both sides of the chassis for convenience. (2) On both sides of the chassis, fasten the optical fibers and twisted-pair cables to the cable management ring or cable chute.
