Preparing for installation
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, unplug 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 proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch
free of obstruction.
•Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before power-on.
•Make sure that 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 replacing transceiver modules, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the
units.
Examining the installation site
The HP 3600 v2 Switch Series must be used indoors. You can mount the switch in a rack or on a
workbench, but make sure:
•Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.
•The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.
•The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
•The rack or workbench is well earthed.
To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the
requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature/humidity
Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
•Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property
change of materials, and metal corrosion.
8

•Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including
loose captive 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 “Environmental
specifications”.
Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis may 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.
Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (
p
articles/m³)
Dust ≤3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)
NOTE:
Dust 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 Table 3.

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To
prevent EMI, take the following actions:
•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.
•Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or
overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

Cooling requirements
The built-in fans in the 3600 v2 switches blow air from the left to the right of the chassis for heat
dissipation, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15 Airflow through the 3600 v2 switches
(1) Air intake (2) Air exhaust
For adequate heat dissipation, plan the installation site according to the airflow of your switch, and
adhere to the following requirements:
•Leave a clearance of at least 10 cm (3.94 in) around the air intake and exhaust vents.
•Consider the heat dissipation of the installation site when determining air-conditioning
requirements to ensure that cool air can enter the switch.
•Make sure the hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack is not drawn in the intake
of the equipment above.
•The installation site has a good cooling system.
Laser safety
The 3600 v2 switches are Class 1 laser devices.
CAUTION:
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li
g
ht emitted from the optical fiber
may hurt your eyes.
Installation tools
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Phillips screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
All these installation tools are user supplied.

Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack
The 3600 v2 switch is available with one pair of mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 17.

Attaching the mounting brackets to the chassis
The 3600 v2 switch provides one front mounting position and one rear mounting position. You can install
the mounting brackets as needed.
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap makes good skin contact
and is well grounded.
2. Align one mounting bracket with the screw holes in the front-mounting position (Figure 18) or the
rear-mounting position (Figure 19)..
3. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the mounting bracket to the switch chassis.
4. Repeat the proceeding steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.

Rack-mounting an 3600 v2 switch
This installation task requires two persons. To mount the switch in a rack:
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded.
2. Check that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis.
3. Install cage nuts (user-spplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
4. One person holds the switch chassis and aligns the mounting brackets with the mounting holes in
the rack posts, and the other person fixes the mounting brackets with anti-rust screws (user-supplied)
to the rack.
5. Check that the switch chassis is horizontal and tighten the screws.

Mounting the switch on a workbench
If a standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can place an 3600 v2 switch on a clean, flat workbench,
as follows:
1. Check that the workbench is sturdy and well grounded.

2. Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
3. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
IMPORTANT:
•Ensure good ventilation and 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.
•Avoid placing heavy objects on the switch.
Grounding the switch
W
ARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the
chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis
ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to
minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions
available at the installation site:
•Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
•Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord
•Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground
Grounding cable
The 3600 v2 Switch Series is provided with a yellow-green grounding cable. One end of the cable has
an OT terminal, and the other end is naked and soldered, as shown in Figure 21.

Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the
grounding strip.
CAUTION:
•The supplied grounding cable of the 3600 v2 Switch Series does not have an auxiliary OT terminal.
•Connect the

cable to the earthin

system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire
main or lightning rod.
Connecting the grounding cable to the switch
Follow these steps to connect the grounding cable:
1. Remove the grounding screw on the rear panel of the switch chassis.
2. Attach the grounding screw to the OT terminal of the grounding cable.
3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding screw hole.

Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip
Follow these steps to connect the grounding cable to a grounding strip:
1. Remove the hex nut from the grounding strip.
2. Cut the grounding cable to a proper length according to the distance between the switch and the
grounding strip.
3. Make the connector on the grounding cable:
