Chapter 2 Switch Installation
2.1 Preparation for Installation
2.1.1 Safety Precaution
The following precautions should be followed to avoid equipment damage and personal injury caused by improper use.
• Power source should be removed before cleaning switches. Do not use wet rags to wipe switches and clean switches with
liquid.
• Do not place switches near water or in a wet environment, and prevent water or moisture from entering switch chassis.
• Do not place switches on an unstable case or table, since the dropping would cause serious harm to switches.
• Maintain good indoor ventilation and clear airholes of switches.
• Switches shall work normally under correct voltage, so make sure the operating voltage agrees with the voltage marked on
switches.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove its enclosure when a switch is working, and don’t do so at will even if it
is not powered.
• Anti-static gloves must be worn when replacing interface board to prevent static electricity from damaging veneer.
2.1.2 Installation Site
To ensure a normal work environment, FS S8050 series switch should have the following requirements for workplace.
• Ensure that there are some spaces at the inlet and outlet of switch for heat dispersion of switch chassis.
• Ensure that rack and working platform have good ventilation and heat dispersion systems.
• Ensure that rack and working platform are firm enough to support the weight of a switch and its accessories for installation.
• Ensure rack and working platform are well earthed.
Temperature/Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal work and service life of switches, certain temperature and humidity should be maintained inside switch
rooms. Longtime higher humidity inside switch rooms may easily lead to poor insulation or even electric leakage of dielec-
trics, and sometimes cause material changes in mechanical features and corrosion of metal parts; if the relative humidity is
lower, insulation pads could dry shrink to make fastening screws loose. Meanwhile, in the dry climate, lower relative humidity
could easily cause static electricity which will impose harms to the circuit of switch; higher temperature would be even more
harmful, long time high temperature would accelerate aging process of insulation materials to greatly reduce the reliability of
switches and severely affect their service life.
