2.Installation Notice
To ensure the proper operation of Arctica 4806xp and your physical security, please
read carefully the following installation guide.
2.1.Environmental Requirements
■The switch must be installed in a clean area. Otherwise, the switch may be damaged
by electrostatic adherence.
■Maintain the temperature within 0 to 40 °C and the humidity within 10% to 90%, non-
condensing.
■The switch must be put in a dry and cool place. Leave sufficient spacing around the
switch for good air circulation.
■The switch must work in the range ofAC power input: 100 ~ 240VAC (50/60Hz).
■The switch must be well grounded in order to avoid ESD damage and physical injury
of people.
■The switch should avoid the sunlight perpendicular incidence. Keep the switch away
from heat sources and strong electromagnetic interference sources.
■The switch must be mounted to a standard 19’’ rack or placed on a clean level desk-
top.
2.1.1.Dust and Particles
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of Arctica 4806xp. Dust can lead to electrostatic
adherence, especially likely under low relative humidity, causing poor contact of metal
connectors or contacts. Electrostatic adherence will result in not only reduced product
lifespan, but also increased chance of communication failures. The recommended value
for dust content and particle diameter in the site is shown below:
Max Diameter (µm) 0.5 1 3 5

Table 2-1 Environmental Requirements: Dust
In addition, salt, acid and sulfide in the air are also harmful to the switch. Such harm-
ful gases will aggravate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. The site should
avoid harmful gases, such as SO2, H2S, NO2, NH3and Cl2, etc. The table below details

NH30.05 0.15
Cl20.01 0.3
Table 2-2 Environmental Requirements: Particles
2.1.2.Temperature and Humidity
Although the switch is designed to use 4 fans, the site should still maintain a desira-
ble temperature and humidity. High-humidity conditions can cause electrical resistance
degradation or even electric leakage, degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion
of internal components. Extreme low relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to
contract, making the fastening screw insecure. Furthermore, in dry environments, static
electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to internal circuits. Temperature ex-
tremes can cause reduced reliability and premature aging of insulation materials, thus
reducing the switch’s working lifespan. In the hot summer, it is recommended to use air-
conditioners to cool down the site. And the cold winter, it is recommenced to use heaters.
The recommended temperature and humidity are shown below:
Temperature Relative humidit

Long term condition Short term condition Long term condition Short term condition
15 ~ 30°C 0 ~ 40°C 40 ~ 65% 10 ~ 90%
Table 2-3 Environmental Requirements: Temperature and Humidity
Caution!
A sample of ambient temperature and humidity should be taken at 1.5m above the

Arctica 4806xp switch Installation Guide Chapter 2 Installation Notice
3
floor and 0.4m in front of the switch rack, with no protective panel covering the front and
rear of the rack. Short term working conditions refer to a maximum of 48 hours of contin-
ued operation and an annual cumulative total of less than 15 days. Formidable operation
conditions refers to the ambient temperature and relative humidity value that may occur
during an air-conditioning system failure, and normal operation conditions should be re-
covered within 5 hours.
2.1.3.Power Supply
Before powering on the power supply, please check the power input to ensure prop-
er grounding of the power supply system. The input source for the switch should be relia-
ble and secure; a voltage adaptor can be used if necessary. The building’s circuit protec-
tion system should include in the circuit a fuse or circuit-breaker of no greater than 240 V,
5A. It is recommended to use a UPS for more reliable power supplying. .
Caution!
1. Improper power supply system grounding, extreme fluctuation of the input source,
and transients (or spikes) can result in larger error rate, or even hardware damage!
2. Disconnect power supply cords before servicing!
2.1.4.Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Static electric discharges can cause damage to internal circuits, even the entire
switch. Follow these guidelines for avoiding ESD damage:
■Ensure proper earth grounding of the device;
■Perform regular cleaning to reduce dust;
■Maintain proper temperature and humidity;
■Always wear an ESD wrist strap and antistatic uniform when in contact with circuit
boards.
2.1.5.Anti-interference
All sources of interference, whether from the device/system itself or the outside envi-
ronment, will affect operations in various ways, such as capacitive coupling, inductive
coupling, electromagnetic radiation, common impedance (including the grounding sys-
tem) and cables/lines (power cables, signal lines, and output lines). The following should
be noted:
■Precautions should be taken to prevent power source interruptions;
■Provide the system with a dedicated grounding, rather than sharing the grounding

Arctica 4806xp switch Installation Guide Chapter 2 Installation Notice
4
with the electronic equipment or lightning protection devices;
■Keep away from high power radio transmitters, radar transmitters, and high frequen-
cy strong circuit devices;
■Provide electromagnetic shielding if necessary.
2.1.6.Rack Configuration
The dimensions of the Arctica 4806xp is designed to be mounted on a standard 19’’
rack, please ensure good ventilation for the rack.
■Every device in the rack will generate heat during operation, therefore vent and fans
must be provided for an enclosed rack, and devices should not be stacked closely.
■When mounting devices in an open rack, care should be taken to prevent the rack
frame from obstructing the switch ventilation openings. Be sure to check the posi-
tioning of the switch after installation to avoid the aforementioned.
Caution！
If a standard 19’’ rack is not available, the Arctica 4806xp can be placed on a clean
level desktop, leave a clearance of 100mm around the switch for ventilation, and do not
