2Preparation Before Installation
Safety Suggestions
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, please carefully read the safety suggestions before you
install the HS2310-16GH2GT1XS 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 ungrounded
power supply, and 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.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation Before Installation
11
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 16 identical power supplies, the leakage current of each power supply is equal to
or less than 3.5 mA, and the leakage current of the system totals 56 mA. A leakage protector with 30 mA
rated action current supports less than 5 power supplies (that is, Action current of the leakage
protector/2/Maximum leakage current of each power supply =30/2/3.5=4.28). In other words, the leakage
protector with 30 mA rated action current supports no more than 4 power supplies. In this case, the 16
power supplies in the system require at least 4 leakage protectors with 30 mA rated action current and each
leakage protector supports 4 power supplies. If power supplies in a system differ in models, the rated
leakage action current of each leakage protector divided by two is greater than the sum of maximum
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 30 mA rated leakage action current as
an example. The rated leakage non-action current shall be 15 mA. When the leakage current is below 15 mA,
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 30 mA (human body safety current is 30 mA). When twice of the total leakage current
of the system is greater than 30 mA, 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:
Proper grounding of grounding screws on the back panel of the device. Use a three-wire single-phase socket
with protective earth wire (PE) as the AC power socket.
Indoor dust prevention.
Proper humidity conditions.
Wear anti-static wrist strap before installation.
2.1.5 Laser
The HS2310-16GH2GT1XS switch supports varying models of optical modules sold on the market which are Class
I laser products. Improper use of optical modules may cause damage. Therefore, pay attention to the following
when you use them:
When a fiber transceiver works, ensure that the port has been connected with an optical fiber or is covered
with a dust cap, to keep out dust and avoid burning your eyes.
When the optical module is working, do not pull out the fiber cable and stare into the transceiver interface
or you may hurt your eyes.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation Before Installation
12
Do not stare into any optical port under any circumstances, as this may cause permanent damage to your
eyes.
2.1.6 Storage
To ensure the normal operation of the switch, please check the requirements of storage temperature and
humidity shown in the technical specifications in Chapter 1.
Installation Site Requirements
To ensure the normal working and a prolonged durable life of the equipment, the installation site must be indoor
and meet the following requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation
Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm around the device to ensure the normal ventilation. 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 HS2310-16GH2GT1XS 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.
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 HS2310-16GH2GT1XS switch must meet the
requirements listed in Table 2-1:
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements of the HS2310-16GH2GT1XS Switch
Model

Relative Humidity
HS2310-16GH2GT1XS
-10ºC to 55ºC (14ºF to 131ºF)
10% to 90%

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation Before Installation
13
The requirements for the sampling site of the temperature and humidity in the operating environment of
the device are as follows:
There is no protective plate at the front or back of the equipment rack.
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.

Density
Diameter ≥ 0.5 μm
Particles/m3

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.

Both average and maximum value are measured for a week. The switch cannot be placed in the
environment with the maximum density for over 30 minutes every day.
2.2.4 Anti-Interference
The operational switch may be subjected to interference from external factors, which affects the equipment
through capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic radiation, common impedance coupling
(including ground systems) and conduction of wires (power, signal and output lines, etc.). Therefore, pay
attention to the following.
The switch adopts the AC power distributor system with TN system. It uses a three-wire single-phase socket
with protective earth wire (PE) as the AC power socket, which can effectively suppress the interference from
power grid.
The switch should be located at places free from the large power radio launch pad, radar launch pad, and
high-frequency large-current devices.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation Before Installation
14
If necessary, electromagnetic shielding should be adopted. For example, use interface cables to shield cables.
Interface cables should be laid inside the equipment room and outdoor cabling of such cables is prohibited
to prevent the ports of the device from being damaged by overvoltage and overcurrent caused by lightning.
2.2.5 Grounding
A good grounding system is the basis for the stable and reliable operation of the HS2310-16GH2GT1XS switch. It
is the chief condition to prevent lightning stroke and resist interference. Please carefully check the grounding
conditions on the installation site according to the grounding requirements, and perform grounding operations
properly as required.
Effective grounding of the switch is an important guarantee for lightning protection and interference
resistance. Therefore, connect the grounding line of the switch properly.
Safety Grounding
The equipment using AC power supply must be grounded by using the yellow/green safety grounding cable.
Otherwise, when the insulating resistance decreases the power supply and the enclosure in the equipment,
electric shock may occur.
The building must provide protective grounding connection to ensure that the device is connected to the
protection location.
The installation and maintenance personnel must check whether the A.C. socket is well connected to the
protection location of the building, if not, they should use a protective grounding wire to connect the
grounding end of the A.C. socket to the building's protection location.
The power supply socket must be installed in a place that is near to the device and where users can operate
the device easily.
Before the installation of the device, make sure that ground connection is connected at first and
disconnected finally.
The sectional area of the protective grounding wire should be at least 0.75 mm2(18 AWG).
Use the 3-core power supply line. The sectional area of each pin should be at least 0.75 mm2or 18 AWG.
Lightning Grounding
The lightning protection system of a facility is an independent system that consists of the lightning rod, download
conductor and the connector to the grounding system, which usually shares the power reference ground and
yellow/green safety cable ground. The lightning discharge ground is for the facility only, irrelevant to the
equipment.
EMC Grounding
The grounding required for EMC design includes shielding ground, filter ground, noise and interference
suppression, and level reference. All the above constitute the comprehensive grounding requirements. The
resistance of earth wires should be less than 1 Ω. The HS2310-16GH2GT1XS switch back plane is reserved with
one grounding pole, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparation Before Installation
15
Figure 2-1 Grounding Pole
2.2.6 Lightning Resistance
When the AC power cable is imported outdoors and directly connected to the power port of the HS2310-
16GH2GT1XS switch, lightning-proof grounding connectors should be adopted to prevent the switch from being
hit by lightning shocks. Connect the AC cable to the lightning-proof grounding connectors. Then, connect the
switch to the lightning-proof grounding connectors. This can help to prevent the current of high-voltage lightning
from passing the switch directly through the mains supply cable to a certain extent.
The lightning-proof grounding connectors are not provided and should be purchased by users as required.
For the usage of lightning-proof grounding connectors, refer to their related manuals.
2.2.7 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 to another. 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.
Measures must be taken to prevent interference in power supply system.
The grounding device of the switch must not be used as the grounding device of the electrical equipment or
anti-lightning grounding device. In addition, the grounding device of the switch must be deployed far away
from the grounding device of the electrical equipment and anti-lightning grounding device.
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.
