Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety
recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible
hazardous condition.
•
Before cleaning the switch, remove all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch
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 operating voltage is in the required range.
•
To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the
switch is just powered off.
•
When installing the switch, wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact
and is reliably grounded.
Examining the installation site
The switch must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench, but make
sure:
•
Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet vents for ventilation.
•
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.
•
Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure ambient air flows into
the switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.
•
Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the
neighboring device from entering the device.
•
The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
•
The rack or workbench is reliably grounded.
To ensure correct operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets
the requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature and humidity
Maintain 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 problems
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 different switch models, see technical
specifications in Hardware Information and Specifications.

1-3
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. Table 1-2 describes the dust concentration limits in the
equipment room for the S5560S-EI switch series. Table 1-3 describes the dust concentration limits in
the equipment room for the S5130S-HI switch series.
Table 1-2 Dust concentration limits in the equipment room for the S5560S-EI switch series
Substance Particle diameter Concentration limit
Dust particles ≥ 0.5 µm ≤ 3.5 × 106particles/m3
Dust particles ≥ 5 µm ≤ 3 × 104particles/m3
Dust (suspension) ≤75 µm ≤0.2 mg/m3
Dust (sedimentation) 75 µm to 150 µm ≤1.5 mg/(m2h)
Table 1-3 Dust concentration limits in the equipment room for the S5130S-HI switch series
Substance Particle diameter Concentration limit
Dust particles ≥ 0.5 µm ≤ 3.5 × 106particles/m3
Dust particles ≥ 5 µm ≤ 3 × 104particles/m3
Dust (suspension) ≤75 µm ≤0.4 mg/m3
Dust (sedimentation) 75 µm to 150 µm ≤15 mg/(m2h)
Sand ≥ 150 µm ≤300 mg/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.
•
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 in the equipment room do not exceed the concentration limits as shown in Table 1-4.
Table 1-4 Corrosive gas concentration limits in the equipment room
Gas Average concentration (mg/m3) Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
SO20.3 1.0
H2S 0.1 0.5
Cl20.1 0.3

1-4
Gas Average concentration (mg/m3) Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
HCI 0.1 0.5
HF 0.01 0.03
NH31.0 3.0
O30.05 0.1
NOX0.5 1.0
CAUTION:
As a best practice, control the
corrosive gas concentrations in the equipment room at their
average
values
. Make sure the corrosive gas concentrations do not exceed 30 minutes per day at their
maximum values.
To control corrosive gases, use the following guidelines:
•
As a best practice, do not build the equipment room in a place with a high concentration of
corrosive gases.
•
Make sure the equipment room is not connected to sewer, vertical shaft, or septic tank pipelines
and keep it far away from these pipelines. The air inlet of the equipment room must be away
from such pollution sources.
•
Use environmentally friendly materials to decorate the equipment room. Avoid using organic
materials that contains harmful gases, such as sulfur or chlorine-containing insulation cottons,
rubber mats, sound-proof cottons, and avoid using plasterboards with high sulfur concentration.
•
Place fuel (diesel or gasoline) engines separately. Do not place them in the same equipment
room with the device. Make sure the exhausted air of the engines will not flow into the
equipment room or towards the air inlet of the air conditioners.
•
Place batteries separately. Do not place them in the same room with the device.
•
Employ a professional company to monitor and control corrosive gases in the equipment room
regularly.
EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
•
A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
•
Inductance coupling.
•
Electromagnetic wave radiation.
•
Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
•
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 switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
•
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
•
To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, route interface cables only indoors.

Attaching the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws to the switch
You can attach the front mounting brackets at the port-side or power supply-side mounting position.
The following uses port-side mounting as an example. The power-side mounting is similar.
To attach the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws to the switch:
1. Align the round holes in the wide flange of one front mounting bracket with the screw holes in
the port-side mounting position on one side of the chassis. See Figure 2-10.
2. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the front mounting bracket to the chassis.
3. Repeat the proceeding two steps to attach the other front mounting bracket to the chassis.
4. Unpack the shoulder screws. Attach a shoulder screw to one of the two installation positions as
red-marked in Figure 2-10 at both sides of the chassis.

Attaching the rear mounting brackets to the rack
1. Determine the switch installation position in the rack.
2. Install cage nuts in the rack posts.
3. Orient the rear mounting brackets with the wide flange inside or outside the rack as required.
4. Use M6 screws to attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear posts, as shown in Figure 2-11.
Do not fully tighten the M6 screws before mounting the switch in the rack.

2. Make sure the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws are securely attached to the two
sides of the switch.
3. Attach cage nuts to the rack posts.
4. One person supports the chassis bottom with one hand, holds the front part of the chassis with
the other hand, and pushes the chassis into the rack gently.
Make sure the shoulder screws make close contact with the upper edges of the rear mounting
brackets, as shown in Figure 2-13.
5. The other person aligns the oval holes in the front brackets with the mounting holes in the front
rack posts, and attaches the front mounting brackets with M6 screws to the front rack posts.
Make sure the switch is installed securely in the rack.
