2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
Caution
●To avoid personal injury and device damage, carefully read the safety precautions before you install the
device.
●The following safety precautions may not cover all possible dangers.
2.1.1 Installation Safety
Keep the chassis clean, free from any dust.
Do not place the device in walking areas.
During the installation and maintenance, do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or any other things that may
be hooked by the device.
Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before placing the device in a rack or removing the
device from a rack.
2.1.2 Handling Safety
Avoid handling the device frequently.
Keep balance and prevent personal injuries when handling the device.
Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the switch.
2.1.3 Electric Safety
Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant
qualifications can perform such operations.
Before installing the device, check whether there are hidden risks in the operating environment of the device.
For example, check whether the power socket is grounded and whether the ground is wet.
Be sure to know the location of the indoor emergency power supply switch before installing the device.
When an accident occurs, immediately cut off all power supplies.
Do not maintain the device by yourself when the device is powered on.
Make sure that the switch is powered off when you cut off the power supply.
Do not place the switch in a wet position, and keep the switch away from liquid.
Caution
●Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead to
severe and fatal personal injury and device damage.
●Direct contact or indirect contact through wet objects with high voltage or mains power supply may be fatal.
●If the 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 must be greater
than twice the theoretical maximum leakage current of all the power supplies in the system. For example,

RG-ES206GS-P Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparing for Installation
8
if a system is equipped with 20 identical power supplies and the leakage current of each power supply is
equal to or less than 1.5 mA, the leakage current of the system totals 30 mA. A leakage protector with 30
mA 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 30 mA rated action current supports no more than ten power supplies. In this case, the 20
power supplies in the system require at least two leakage protectors with 30 mA rated action current and
each leakage protector supports ten 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 currents 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 specifications in
Chapter 1.
2.1.4 Electrostatic Discharge Safety
To prevent damage caused by static electricity, you must pay attention to the following:
Ensure that the grounding screw on the rear panel of the device is tightened. Ensure that the AC power
socket is a single-phase three-core power socket with protective earthing conductors (PE).
Keep the indoor installation environment clean and free of dust.
Keep the indoor humidity within a certain range.
2.1.5 Laser Safety
RG-ES226GC-P, RG-ES218GC-P, RG-ES210GS-P and RG-ES206GS-P switches support various types of
optical transceivers available in the market, and these optical transceiver are Class I laser products. Improper
use of an optical transceiver may cause damage. Therefore, pay attention to the following:
Note:
When an optical transceiver is working, ensure that its port has been connected with an optical fiber or
covered by a dust cap to keep out dust and prevent it from burning your eyes.
When an optical transceiver is working, do not look into its port after removing the optical fiber. Otherwise,
your eyes may be hurt.
Caution
Do not approach or look into any optical port under any circumstances. This may cause permanent damage to
your eyes.
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the switch, the installation site must meet the
following requirements.

RG-ES206GS-P Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparing for Installation
9
2.2.1 Ventilation and Cooling Requirements
Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) around the switch for air circulation and ventilation. After
various cables are connected, bundle the cables or place them in the patch panel to avoid blocking air inlets.
Dust the device every three months to avoid blocking the ventilation openings on the housing.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolonged service life of the switch, maintain an appropriate temperature
and humidity in the equipment room. The machine room with too high or too low temperature and humidity for a
long period may damage the switch.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have poor insulation or even leak
electricity.
In an environment with too low relative humidity, the insulating strips will shrink, and static electricity is prone
to occur and damage the internal circuits of the switch.
A high ambient temperature not only deteriorates device performance but also causes various hardware
faults.
The table below lists the ambient temperature and humidity requirements of RG-ES200 series switches.
Temperature
Relative Humidity
0ºC-40ºC
10% RH to 90% RH
Note
Requirements for ambient temperature and humidity of sampling points:
The ambient temperature and humidity of the switch are measured at the point that is 1.5 m above the floor and
0.4 m before the switch rack when there is no protective plate in front or at the back of the rack.
2.2.3 Cleanliness
Dust poses a major threat to the switch. The indoor dust can cause electrostatic adhesion when falling on the
switch, causing poor contact of the metallic joint. Such electrostatic adhesion occurs more easily when the
indoor relative humidity is low, not only affecting the service life of the switch, but also causing communication
failure easily. The following table lists the requirements for the dust content and diameter in the machine room.

Apart from dust, the salt, acid, and sulfide in the air of the machine room must meet strict requirements. These
harmful substances will accelerate metal corrosion and component aging. Therefore, the machine room should
be properly protected against the intrusion of harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen
dioxide, and chlorine gas. The following table lists limit values for harmful gases.

Specification
Average refers to the average value of harmful gases measured in one week. The Maximum value is the upper
limit of the harmful gas measured in one week for up to 30 minutes every day.
2.2.4 Anti-interference
The switch is susceptible to external interference by capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic
waves, common impedance (ground) coupling, or conduction over power lines, signal lines and output lines.
Note that:
In a TN earthing system, use a 3-wire single-phase outlet that has a protective earth (PE) contact to allow
the filter circuit in the device to eliminate interference from the power grid.
The switch should be located far away from the large power radio launch pads, radar launch pads, and
high-frequency large-current devices.
Use EMI shielding such as shielded interface cables to minimize interference when necessary.
Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or
overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.
2.2.5 Grounding Requirements
A proper grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable running. It is indispensable for preventing
lightning strikes and interference. Carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to
the grounding specifications, and complete grounding properly based on the actual situation.
Note
●Effective grounding of the switches is an important guarantee for lightning protection and interference
prevention. Therefore, the switch must be properly grounded.
●The grounding wire is customer supplied.
Secure Grounding
Ensure that the rack and power distribution device are securely grounded when the switch uses the AC power
supply. Otherwise, electric shock may occur when the insulation resistance between the power supply inside
the switch and the chassis becomes small.
Note
●The building should provide a protective ground connection to ensure that the device is connected to a
protective earth.
●The O&M personnel should check whether theAC socket is reliably connected to the protective ground of
the building. If not, the O&M personnel should use a protective earth conductor from theAC outlet
protective earth terminal to the building protective earth.
●The power socket should be installed near the device and easily accessible.
●During the device installation, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.

RG-ES206GS-P Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparing for Installation
11
●The cross-sectional area of the protective ground cable should be at least 0.75 mm2(18 AWG).
●Install the switch by using 3-core power cords, with a minimum cross-sectional area of 0.75 mm2or
18AWG per pin.
Lightning Grounding
The lightning protection system of facilities is standalone, and is composed of a lightning rod, a down conductor,
and a connector connected to the grounding system. The grounding system is usually used for power reference
grounding and safe grounding of the rack. Lightning discharge grounding is required only for facilities and is not
required for the device.
EMC Grounding
Grounding required for electromagnetic compatibility includes shielded grounding, filter grounding, noise and
interference suppression, and level reference, which contribute to the overall grounding requirements. The
resistance of the grounding cable should be smaller than 1 ohm.
The switch provides one grounding connector on the back panel, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Grounding of the Switch
2.2.6 Lightning Protection Requirements
When anAC power cord is introduced from outdoors and directly connected to the power port of the switch, the
AC power port must be connected to an external lightning resistance socket to protect the switch against
lightning strokes. The lightning resistance socket is used as follows: Connect the mains AC power cable to the
lightning resistance socket and then connect the switch to the lightning resistance socket. This prevents the
current of high-voltage lightning from directly passing through the switch along the mains cable.
Note
●Surge arrestors are customer supplied.
●For details of lightning resistance sockets, see the related user guide.
2.2.7 EMI Requirements
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, either from outside or inside of the device or application system,
affect the device by capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or electromagnetic waves.
EMI occurs due to radiation or conduction, depending on the transmission path.
When the energy, often radio energy, from a component arrives at a sensitive component through space, the
energy is known as radiated interference. The interference source can be both a part of the interfered system

RG-ES206GS-P Series Switches Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparing for Installation
12
and a completely electrically isolated unit. Conducted interference occurs when interference is transferred from
one unit to another through cables which are usually electromagnetic wires or signal cables connecting the
source and the sensor. Conducted interference often affects the power supply of the switch, but this can be
controlled by a filter. Radiated interference may affect any signal path in the equipment, and is difficult to shield.
Interference prevention measures should be taken for the power supply system.
Keep the grounding device of the switch far away from the grounding device and lightning grounding device
of the power equipment.
Keep the switch far away from the high-power radio transmitter, radar launch pad, and high-frequency
large-current devices.
Take electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary.

3.3.2 Mounting the Switch on the Wall
RG-ES206GS-P, RG-ES210GS-P, RG-ES209C-P, RG-ES209GC-P, RG-ES205GC (only can be mounted
vertically), RG-ES208GC, RG-ES206GC-P, and RG-ES210GC-LP can be mounted on a wall. (Screws and wall
anchors for installation are not provided, and needs to be purchased by the customer).
When installing the switch, drill two holes on the wall based on the size and depth of the screws and wall
anchors. Make sure that the holes are large enough to accommodate the wall anchor, with only the outer edge
visible outside the wall. Additionally, ensure that the screws can be firmly fastened to the wall.
Taking RG-ES209GC-P as an example, the specific steps for mounting the switch on the wall are as follows:
Step 1. As shown in the following figure, first drill two holes with a diameter of about 5mm on the wall, with a
spacing of 112mm between the two holes. Make sure that the two holes are horizontally aligned.
Step 2. Insert one wall anchor into each hole. Make sure the outer edge of the wall anchor is level with the wall
surface.
Step 3. Inset one M4 screw (length > 12mm) into each wall anchor. Leave a clearance of 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) to
3.5 mm (0.14 in.) between the base of the screw head and the wall anchor so the switch can hang on the
screws securely.
Step 4. Align the two holes on the chassis with the screws, and hang the switch securely on the screws.
