Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installation Preparation
10
1.6.4
Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operating of the device and prolong its service life, maintain certain
temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
If the equipment room is in the environment that does not meet the temperature/humidity
requirements for a long time, the device may be damaged.
When the relative humidity is too high, it is easy to cause poor insulation of insulating
materials and even mechanical properties such as leakage.
When the relative humidity is too low, the insulating washer may dry out and cause
loosening of the fastening screws.
In dry environment, it is easy to generate static electricity and harm the internal circuit of
the device.
In the high-temperature environment, the aging process of insulating materials will be
accelerated, the reliability of the device will be greatly reduced, and its service life will be
seriously affected.
Note
The temperature and humidity of the working environment of the device are measured at 1.5 m
above the floor and 0.4 m in front of the device rack when there is no protective plate before
and after the rack.
1.6.5
Cleanliness Requirements
Dust is a major hazard to device operating. Indoor dust falling on the device body will cause
electrostatic adsorption and poor contact of metal contacts. Especially when the indoor
relative humidity is low, it is more likely to cause electrostatic adsorption, which will not only
affect the service life of the device, but also cause communication failures. The dust content
and granule size requirements in the equipment room are as follows:
Table 1-4
Dust requirements
Dust
Unit
Content
Dust granule (diameter ≥0 .5
um) Number of granules/m³ ≤3.5 x 10^6
Dust granule (diameter ≥
5
um) Number of granules/m³ ≤3.5 x 10^4
In addition to dust, the equipment room must strictly meet the requirements on the salt, acid
and sulfide contained in the air. These harmful substances can accelerate metal corrosion

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installation Preparation
11
and component aging. The equipment room should prevent the intrusion of harmful gases
(such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, and chlorine), and the specific
limits are as follows:
Table 1-5
Gas requirements
Gas
Average (mg/m³)
Maximum (mg/m³)
Sulfur dioxide 0.2 1.5
Hydrogen sulfide 0.006 0.03
Nitrogen dioxide 0.04 0.15
Ammonia gas 0.05 0.15
Chlorine 0.01 0.3
Note
The average is the average value within a week. The maximum value is the upper limit within a
week, which does not exceed 30 minutes per day.
1.6.6
Grounding Requirements
A good grounding system is the basis for the stable and reliable operating of the device, and
is the primary condition for preventing lightning strikes and resisting interference. Carefully
check the grounding conditions of the installation site according to the requirements of the
device grounding specifications, and properly ground the device according to the actual
situation.
Safe grounding
For the device using AC power, the cabinet and power distribution box must be fully
grounded; otherwise, when the insulation resistance between the power supply in the device
and the chassis becomes small, electric shock injury may be caused.
Caution
The building shall provide a protective earth connection to ensure that the device is connected
to the protective earth.
Lightning protection
The lightning protection system of a facility is an independent system consisting of a lightning
rod, a lower conductor and a connector connected to the grounding system. This grounding
system is usually shared with the grounding used as the power reference ground and the

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installation Preparation
12
cabinet safety ground. Lightning discharge grounding is only used for facilities, and devices
do not have this requirement.
Electromagnetic compatibility grounding
The grounding is required for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design, including shield
grounding, filter grounding, noise and interference suppression, and level reference.
These are comprehensive grounding requirements. The grounding resistance should be less
than 1 Ω. The grounding terminal of the cabinet should be grounded before the device is
operated.
1.6.7
Anti-interference Requirements
Take effective measures to prevent grid interference to the power feeding system.
It is not recommended to use the device working ground together with the ground device
of electrical equipment or lightning protection ground device, and separate them as far as
possible.
Keep away from high-frequency current devices such as high-power radio transmitters
and radar transmitters.
Take electromagnetic shielding measures if necessary.
1.6.8
Lightning Protection Requirements
Lightning protection has been designed on the device, but as an electrical device,
excessive lightning strike may still cause damage. The following lightning protection
measures need to be taken: ensure that the ground cable of the cabinet is in good contact
with the ground.
Ensure that the neutral point of the AC power socket is in good contact with the ground.
To enhance the lightning protection effect of the power supply, consider adding a power
lightning arrester to the input end of the power supply.
1.6.9
Checking the Installation Conditions
The following conditions must be met no matter whether the device is installed in a cabinet or
placed on a workbench:
Ensure that there is space reserved at the air inlets and vents of the device to facilitate the
heat dissipation of the device chassis.
Ruijie devices are equipped with cooling fans. The cooling principle is as follows: cold air is
drawn in from the cooling holes around the chassis and exhausted from the rear of the
chassis through the fan. Therefore, there should be at least 15 cm space around the heat
dissipation holes to ensure sufficient heat dissipation. It is recommended to install the
device in a 19-inch standard cabinet. If the 19-inch standard cabinet is unavailable, place
the device horizontally on a clean surface. In hot areas, air conditioning is recommended.
Ensure that the cabinet and workbench have good ventilation and heat dissipation

Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Installation Preparation
13
systems.
Ensure that the cabinet and workbench are strong enough to support the device and its
mounting accessories.
Ensure that the cabinet and workbench are well grounded.
1.7
Cabinet Installation Requirements
If you plan to install the device in the cabinet, confirm that the cabinet meets the following
conditions:
Use the 19-inch standard cabinet with four posts.
The spacing between the left and right square hole bars of a 19-inch standard cabinet is
465 mm.
Figure 1-5
19-inch standard cabinet diagram
The distance between the square hole strip of the cabinet post and the outside of the front
cabinet door should be greater than 180 mm, and the thickness of the front cabinet door
should be less than 25 mm. Ensure that the available space is greater than 155 mm and
the depth of the cabinet (distance between the front and rear doors) is greater than 1000
mm.
The slides (or trays) of the cabinet should be able to support the device and meet load-
bearing requirements.
The cabinet has a reliable ground terminal to ensure that the device is fully grounded.
The cabinet has a good ventilation and heat dissipation system, and the porosity of the
front and rear doors is greater than 50%.
