Temperature

CAUTION:
If condensation appears on the chassis when you move it to a high-temperature environment, dry the
chassis before powering it on to avoid short circuits.
To guarantee the normal operation of the switch, the room temperature must meet the requirements
in Table 2.

Humidity

Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in
Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical
•
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts.
• Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even
ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.

Cleanness

Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.

NOTE:
Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 μm
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in
