Huawei S2700 - Checking the Cabinet or Rack

Table 3-1 Requirements for the installation site
Item Requirement
Cleanliness The installation site must be clean, dry, well ventilated, and free
from leaking or dripping water and dew.
Dust The installation site must be as free from dust as possible. A
buildup of dust may cause electrostatic discharge on the chassis
and impair electrical connections, which will reduce the service
life and may cause failure of the switch.
Temperature and
humidity
The switch must be installed in a temperature-controlled
environment where the temperature and humidity are within
specifications. For the operating temperature and relative humidity
ranges required for your switch, see the Hardware Description. In
environments where the relative humidity exceeds 70%, using
dehumidifiers or dehumidifying air conditioners is recommended.
Corrosive gases The installation site must be free from acidic, alkaline, or corrosive
gases.
Airflow clearance To allow sufficient airflow around the switch, leave at least 50 mm
(2.0 in.) clearance behind and on both the left and right sides of the
switch.
Surge protection
l If power and network cables of a switch need to be routed
outdoors, bury them underground or put them in steel pipes to
protect the switch from lightning strikes.
l To protect network ports from lightning, use 8-line surge
protectors (or Huawei certified 4-line surge protectors).
Connect the IN ports to terminals and the OUT ports to network
ports of the switch.
3.3 Checking the Cabinet or Rack
Table 3-2 describes the requirements for the cabinet or rack where an S2700, S3700, S5700,
or S6700 series switch will be installed.
Table 3-2 Requirements for the cabinet or rack
Item
Requirement
Width The S2700, S3700, S5700, and S6700 series switches have
standard dimensions and can be installed in a standard 19-inch
cabinet or rack (such as an N66E or N68E cabinet). If you use a
non-standard cabinet or rack, ensure that there is a sufficient space.
Depth When equipped with 1150 W PoE power modules, the switch
cannot be installed in a 600 mm (23.6 in.) deep cabinet.
