with wet cloth or liquid.
•
Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
•
Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in
case of a fall.
•
Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the
switch free of obstruction.
•
Make sure the power input voltage is as required by the power supply.
•
To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the
switch is just powered off.
•
During switch installation, wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the strap makes good skin
contact and is reliably grounded.
Examining the installation environment
To ensure correct operation of your switch, make sure the installation environment meets the
requirements listed in Table1-1.

1-2
Table1-1 Checking list for the installation environment
Item Requirements
Ventilation and heat dissipation
CAUTION:
To ensure correct operation of your device, make sure the installation
environment is adequately ventilated to prevent the switch from
overheating.
•Ensure a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) around the chassis.
•Do not install the device near a heat source, for example, a stove or
heater.
•Ensure air ventilation in the installation environment.
•Do not block the ventilation holes in the device or power adapter.
Anti-moisture
CAUTION:
Water or moisture might damage the circuits of the device.
•Do not place the device near water or in a damp environment.
•Install the switch in a clean, dry, and ventilated place where
temperature is controlled in a stable range.
•Make sure the installationenvironment is free from water leakage or
condensation. If required, install a dehumidification device (such as
an air conditioner with a dehumidification function or a dedicated
dehumidifier).
•Do not operate the device under or near the water source, such as
the wash basin, laundry room, or areas with high humidity.
•Do not touch the device with wet hands.
Temperature/humidity
For correct operation and long service life of your switch, maintain the
temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable ranges.
•Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity
leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal
corrosion.
•Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and
ESD and cause issues including loose mounting screws and circuit
failure.
•High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials
and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the switch, see
technical specifications inhardware information and specifications for the
switch series.
Lightning protection
CAUTION:
Ground the switch correctly and verify the grounding. For more
information, see "Grounding the switch."
•If you ground the switch by using a grounding strip, make sure the
grounding resistance of the grounding strip in the equipment room is
less than 1Ω.
•If you ground the switch by using a grounding conductor buried in
the earth ground, make sure the grounding resistance of the
grounding conductor in the ground is less than 10Ω.
•Route the signal cables along indoor walls, bury the cables in the
earth ground, or thread the cables through steel tubes. Install a
signal lightning arrester with a nominal discharge current for a
corresponding network interface.
•Keep the signal cables far from power cords and lightning rod down
conductors.
•As a best practice, route power cords indoors. If anAC power cord
is routed from outdoors, connect the AC power cord first to a power
lightning arrester before leading it to theAC power port on the

1-3
Item Requirements
switch. Make sure the power lightning arrester has a nominal
discharge current and the total length of the power cord from the
power lighting arrester to the power port on the switch is less than 5
m (16.40 ft).
•Ground the switch, rack, independent power modules, and lightning
arresters separately.
•You must ground optical fibers with reinforcing metal stiffener from
outdoors on an optical distribution frame (ODF) or fiber splice
enclosure.
Cable routing
CAUTION:
Do not run an Ethernet cable and power cord in parallel.
•Route different types of cables separately.
•Keep power cords a minimum of 5 cm (1.97 in) away from other
cables.
ESD prevention
•Ground the switch correctly.
•To avoid ESD damage to the device or components, always wear an
ESD wrist strap when you install or remove the device or
components.
•Make sure the wrist strap has good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
Cleanliness For more information, see "Cleanliness."
Corrosive gas prevention The installation site must be free from corrosive gases such as acid
gases and alkaline gases. For more information, see "Corrosive gas
limit."
EMI
•If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle
with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid.
•Keep the device far away from radio transmitting stations, radar
stations, and high-frequency devices.
•Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface
cables, when necessary.
Cleanliness
Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in
poor contact of metal connectors and contact points. This might shorten the device's lifetime and
even cause device failure in the worst case. Table1-2 describes the switch requirement for
cleanliness.
Table1-2 Switch requirement for cleanliness
Substance Particle diameter Concentration limit
Dust particles ≥ 0.5 µm ≤ 1.8 × 107particles/m3
To maintain cleanliness in the equipment room, follow these guidelines:
•
Keep the equipment room away from pollution sources. Do not smoke, eat, or drink in the
equipment room.
•
Use double-layer glass in windows and seal doors and windows with dust-proof rubber strips.
Use screen doors and window screens for doors and windows open to the outside and make
sure the external windows are air tight.
•
Use dustproof materials for floors, walls, and ceilings and use wallpaper or matt paint that does
not produce powders.

1-4
•
Clean the equipment room regularly and clean the air filters of the rack each month.
•
Wear ESD clothing and shoe covers before entering the equipment room, keep the ESD
clothing and shoe covers clean, and change them frequently.
Corrosive gas limit
Corrosive gases can accelerate corrosion and aging of metal components. Make sure the corrosive
gases do not exceed the concentration limits as shown inTable1-3.

Rack-mounting the switch by using only front mounting
brackets
All switch models except the S6520X-54HC-UPWR-EI support rack mounting by using only front
mounting brackets.
Attaching the front mounting brackets to the switch
The switch has one mounting position near the network ports and the other mounting position near
the power supplies for the front mounting brackets. Select one position as needed.
To attach the front mounting brackets to the chassis:
1. Place the wide flange of the mounting bracket against the chassis side panel. Align the
mounting bracket installation holes with the screw holes in the chassis.
To install the mounting brackets at the port-side mounting position, see Figure2-6.
To install the mounting brackets at the power supply-side mounting position, see Figure2-7.
2. Fasten the M4 screws to secure the mounting bracket to the switch.
3. Attach the front mounting bracket to the other side of the chassis in the same way.

Mounting the switch in the rack
This task requires two people.
To mount the switch in the rack:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2. Verify that the front mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis. See
"Attaching the front mounting brackets to the switch."
3. Attach cage nuts to the front rack posts.
4. One person supports the bottom of the switch, and moves the switch to an appropriate position
based on the installation positions of the front mounting brackets.

Rack-mounting the switch by using front and rear mounting
brackets
Attaching the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws to the switch
The switch provides two installation positions on its side for the front mounting brackets. One is near
the power supply side and one is near the port side. The following procedure attaches the front
mounting brackets to the installation position near the power supply side. The port-side mounting is
similar.
To attach the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws to the switch:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.

2. Align the round holes in the wide flange of one front mounting bracket with the screw holes in
the chassis. See Figure2-10.
3. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.
4. Repeat the preceding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.
5. Unpack the shoulder screws and attach them to the chassis.
Two installation positions as red-marked in Figure2-10 are available for shoulder screws.
Select one as required.

Attaching the rear mounting brackets to the rack
1. Determine the switch installation position in the rack.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the rear rack posts. Make sure the corresponding cage nuts
on the left and right rear rack posts are at the same height.
3. Orient the rear mounting brackets with the wide flange inside or outside the rack as required.
4. Use M6 screws (user-supplied) to attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear posts, as shown
in Figure2-11.
Do not fully tighten the M6 screws before mounting the switch in the rack.

3. Attach cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts. Make sure the corresponding cage
nuts on the left and right front rack posts are at the same height.
4. One person supports the chassis bottom with one hand, holds the front part of the chassis with
the other, and pushes the chassis into the rack gently. Make sure the shoulder screws rest
firmly on the upper edge of the rear mounting brackets. See Figure2-13 and Figure2-14.
5. The other person attaches the front mounting brackets with M6 screws (user-supplied) to the
front rack posts. Make sure the switch is installed securely in the rack. See Figure2-13 and
Figure2-14.
