Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Product Overview
- 11 -
Install the switch in an open cabinet as much as possible. If you install the switch inside a closed cabinet, be sure
that the cabinet has a good ventilation and heat dissipation system.
Be sure that the cabinet is firm enough to bear the weight of the M2-W6010-48GT4X switch and its installation
accessories.
Be sure that the dimensions of the cabinet is appropriate for installation of the M2-W6010-48GT4X switch that can
reserve a certain space for the front, back, left and right panels for heat dissipation.
The cabinet should be properly grounded.
2.2.2 Ventilation Requirements
For the M2-W6010-48GT4X switch switch, leave sufficient space in the front and at the back of the chassis (at least
20cm) for ventilation. After various cables are connected, bundle the cables or place them in the cable management
bracket to avoid blocking air inlets. Dust the equipment every three months to avoid blocking the ventilation openings.
2.2.3 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and a prolonged service life of the M2-W6010-48GT4X switch switch, maintain an
appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room. The equipment room with too high or too low temperature
and humidity for a long period of time may damage the equipment.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak
electricity. And sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may
get rusted.
On the other hand, in an environment with low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, and static
electricity may occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment.
In an environment with high temperature, the equipment is subjected to even greater harm, as its performance
may degrade significantly and its service life may be shortened at high temperature for long that expedites the
aging process.
Temperature and humidity requirements of the M2-W6010-48GT4X switch switch:
10% to 90% non-condensing
The ambient temperature and humidity are measured at the point that is 1.5 m above the floor and 0.4 m before
the equipment when there is no protective plate in front or at the back of the rack.
2.2.4 Cleanness Requirements
Dust poses the top threat to the running of the equipment. The indoor dust falling on the equipment may be adhered by
the static electricity, causing poor contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adherence may occur more easily
when the relative humidity is low, not only affecting the service life of the equipment, but also causing communication
faults. The following table shows the requirements for the dust content and granularity in the equipment room.
Concentration Limit (particles/m3)
Dust particles (diameter ≥0.5μm)
Dust particles (diameter ≥5μm)
