2 Preparation before Installation
2.1Safety Suggestions
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, please carefully read the safety suggestions before you install the
5/8-port plastic series switch.
The following safety suggestions do not cover all possible dangers.
2.1.1 Installation
Keep the chassis clean and free from any dust.
Do not place the equipment in a walking area.
Do not wear loose clothes or accessories that may be hooked or caught by the device during installation and
maintenance.
Turn off all power supplies and remove the power sockets and cables before installing or uninstalling the device.
2.1.2 Movement
Do not frequently move the device.
When moving the device, note the balance and avoid hurting legs and feet or straining the back.
Before moving the device, turn off all power supplies and dismantle all power modules.
2.1.3 Electricity
Observe local regulations and specifications when performing electric operations. Relevant operators must be
qualified.
Before installing the device, carefully check any potential danger in the surroundings, such as damp/wet ground or
floor.
Before installing the device, find out the location of the emergency power supply switch in the room. First cut off the
power supply in the case of an accident.
Try to avoid maintaining the switch that is powered-on alone.
Be sure to make a careful check before you shut down the power supply.
Do not place the equipment in a damp location. Do not let any liquid enter the chassis.
Any nonstandard and inaccurate electric operation may cause an accident such as fire or electrical shock, thus
causing severe even fatal damages to human bodies and equipment.
Direct or indirect touch through a wet object on high-voltage and mains supply may bring a fatal danger.
If a power supply system is equipped with a leakage protector (also referred to as"leakage current switch" or "leakage
current breaker"), the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector is greater than twice of the theoretical
maximum leakage current of all the power supplies in the system. For example, if a system is equipped with twenty
identical power supplies, the leakage current of each power supply is equal to or less than 1.5mA, and the leakage

Ruijie 5/8-Port Plastic Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
current of the system totals 30mA. A leakage protector with 30mA rated action current supports less than ten power
supplies (that is, Action current of the leakage protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply
=30/2/1.5=10). In other words, the leakage protector with 30mA rated action current supportsno more than ten power
supplies. In this case, the twenty power supplies in the system require at least two leakage protectors with 30mA
rated action current and each leakage protector supports ten power supplies. If power supplies in a system differ in
models, the rated leakageaction current ofeach leakage protector divided bytwo is greaterthan the sum ofmaximum
leakage current of all the power supplies. The rated leakage non-action current of a leakage protector shall be 50%
of the leakage action current. Take a leakage protector with 30mA rated leakage action current as an example. The
rated leakage non-action current shall be 15mA.When the leakage current is below15mA, the protector shall not act.
Otherwise, misoperation may easily occur due to high sensitivity and thus the leakage protector trips, devices are
powered off, and services are interrupted.
To guarantee personal safety, the rated leakage action current of each leakage protector in the system must be equal
to or less than 30mA (human body safety current is 30mA). When twice of the total leakage current of the system is
greater than 30mA, the system must be equipped with two or more leakage protectors.
For the leakage current value of each power supply model, see the power supply model parameter table in Chapter
1.
2.1.4 Static Discharge Damage Prevention
To prevent damage from static electricity, pay attention to the following:
Indoor dust prevention.
Proper humidity conditions.
2.2Installation Site Requirements
To ensure the normal working and a prolonged durable life of the equipment, the installation site must meet the following
requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation
Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) around the device. After various cables have been connected, they
should be arranged into bundles or placed on the cabling rack to avoid blocking the air inlets. It is recommended to clean
the switch at regular intervals (like once every 3 months). Especially, avoid dust from blocking the screen mesh on the
back of the cabinet.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity
To ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of 5/8-port plastic series switch, you should keep proper
temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
If the equipment room has temperature and humidity that do not meet the requirements for a long time, the equipment may
be damaged.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak electricity.
Sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may get rusted.

Ruijie 5/8-Port Plastic Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
In an environment with low relative humidity, however, the insulating strip may dry and shrink. Static electricity may
occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment.
In an environment with high temperature, the equipment is subject to even greater harm, as its performance may
degrade significantly and various hardware faults may occur.
Therefore, the ambient temperature and humidity of the 5/8-port plastic series switch must meet the requirements listed in
Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements of the 5/8-Port Plastic Series Switch
Temperature
Relative Humidity
0℃to 40℃(32°F to 104°F)
10% to 90%
The requirements for the sampling site of the temperature and humidity in the operating environment of the device
are as follows:
The vertical height is 1.5 m above the floor.
The distance from the front panel of the equipment is 0.4 m.
2.2.3 Cleanness
Dust poses a severe threat to the running of the equipment. The indoor dust falling on the equipment may be adhered by
the static electricity, causing bad contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adherence may occur more easily when
the relative humidity is low, not only affecting the useful life of the equipment, but also causing communication faults. Table
2-2 shows the requirements for the dust content and granularity in the equipment room.

Apart from dust, the salt, acid and sulfide in the air in the equipment room must also meet strict requirements, as such
poisonous substances may accelerate the corrosion of the metal and the aging of some parts. The equipment room should
be protected from the intrusion of harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide, sulfured hydrogen, nitrogen dioxide, and chlorine),
whose requirements are listed in Table 2-3.

2.2.4 EMI
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), from either outside or inside the equipment or application system, affects the system
in the conductive ways such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, and electromagnetic radiation.
There are two types of electromagnetic interference: radiated interference and conducted interference, depending on the
type of the transmission path.
When the energy, often RF energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component via the space, the energy is known
as radiated interference. The interference source can be either a part of the interfered system or a completely electrically
isolated unit. Conducted interference results from the electromagnetic wire or signal cable connection between the source
and the sensitive component, along which cable the interference conducts from one unit toanother. Conducted interference
often affects the power supply of the equipment, but can be controlled by a filter. Radiated interference may affect any
signal path in the equipment and is difficult to shield.
Keep the equipment away from high-power radio transmitter, radar transmitting station, and high-frequency large-
current device.
Measures must be taken to shield static electricity.
Interface cables should be laid inside the equipment room. Outdoor cabling is prohibited, avoiding damages to device
signal interfaces caused by over-voltage or over-current of lightning.

3 Product Installation
Please ensure that you have carefully read Chapter 2.
3.1Confirmations before Installation
Before installation, please confirm the following points:
Whether ventilation requirements are met for the switch
Whether the requirements of temperature and humidity are met for the switch
Whether power cables are already laid out and whether the requirements of electrical current are met
Whether related network adaption lines are already laid out
3.2Installing the 5/8-Port Plastic Series Switches
Precautions
During installation, note the following points:
Do not place any articles on the 5/8-port plastic series switch.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) around the device. Do not stack the devices.
The switch should be located at places free from the large power radio launch pad, radar launch pad, and high-
frequency large-current devices. If necessary, electromagnetic shielding should be adopted. For example, use
interface cables to shield cables.
100-meter network cables should be laid inside the equipment room and outdoor cabling of such cables is prohibited.
If outdoor cabling is necessary, take relevant measures for lightning protection.
3.2.1 Mounting the Switch on the Wall
RG-ES05, RG-ES08, RG-ES05G and RG-ES08G can be mounted on the wall. (Mounting screws and wall anchors are
customer supplied.)
In actual installation, users need to determine the size and depth of the two mounting holes on the wall based on the sizes
of wall anchors and screws. Ensure that the wall anchors can be inserted into the holes, only the outer edges of the wall
anchors are left outside the wall, and screws can be tightly fastened to the wall.
The following process takes RG-ES08/RG-ES08G as an example. The steps of mounting the switch on the wall are as
follows:
Step 1: Drill two holes 104 mm (4.09 in.) far away from each other, and the line of connecting the two holes is horizontal.
Step 2: Insert wall anchors into the holes and ensure that the outer edges of the wall anchors are aligned with the wall.
Step 3: Put screws (ST4.2x20 recommended) into the wall anchors and ensure that the distance between the inner side
of the screw head and the outer edge of the wall anchors not be smaller than 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) so that the device can be
securely mounted on the screws.
