2.2.4 Electrostatic Discharge Damage Prevention
Electrostatic discharge may damage devices and circuits. Improper treatment may caus
e the switch to malfunction completely or discontinuously.
Move or locate the devices according to the measures of electrostatic discharge preven
tion, ensuring the machine box connects the ground.Another measure is to wear the st
atic-proof hand ring.If there is no hand ring, use the metal clip with the metal cable to cl
ip the unpainted metal part of the machine box.In this case, the static is discharged to t
he ground through the metal cable of the clip.You can also discharge the static to the g
round through your body.
3. Requirements for Common Locations
This part describes the requirements for the installation locations.
1. Environment
The switch can be installed on the desk or the cabinet.The location of the machine box
,cabinet planning and indoor cabling are very important for normal system’s function. S
hort distance between devices, bad ventilation and untouchable control plate will cause
maintenance problems, systematic faulty and breakdown.
For location planning and device locating, refer to section 2.3.2 “Location Configuration
Prevention”.
2. Location Configuration Prevention
The following preventive measures assist you to design the proper environment for the
switch.
Make sure that the workshop is well-ventilated, the heat of electrical devices is w
ell-discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for device cooling.
Avoid to damage devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention proc
edure.
Put the machine box at the place where cool air can blow off the heat inside the
machine box.Make sure the machine box is sealed because the opened machin
ebox will reverse the cool air flow.
3. Cabinet Configuration
The following content assists you to make aproper cabinet configuration:
Each device on the cabinet gives off heat when it runs.Therefore, the sealed ca
binet must have the heat-discharge outlet and the cooling fan.Do not put the dev
ices too close, avoiding bad ventilation.
When you install the machine box at the open cabinet, prevent the frame of the c
abinet from blocking the airway of the machine box.
- 7 -

SFC4200A Hardware Installation
Ensure that nice ventilation is provided for the devices installed at the bottom of t
he cabinet.
The clapboard separates exhaust gas and inflow air, and boost cool air to flow in
the machine box.The best location of the clapboard is decided by the air flow m
ode in the machine box, which can be obtained through different location tests.
2.3.4 Power Requirements
Make sure that the power supply has nice grounding and the power at the input side o
fthe switch is reliable.The voltage control can be installed if necessary.At least a
240 V, 10A fuse or a breaker is provided in the phase line if you prepare the short-circ
uit prevention measures for a building.
Caution:
If the power supply system does not have good grounding, or the input power disturbs t
oo much and excessive pulses exist, the error code rate of communication devices incr
eases and even the hardware system will be damaged.

The part describes how to remove the fault from the switch.
5.1 Fault Separation
The key for resolving the systematic faults is to separate the fault from the system.You
can compare what the system is doing with what the system should do to detect the fau
lt.You need to check the following subsystems:
Power and cooling systems—power and fan
Port, cable and connection—ports on the front template of the switch and the cab
les connecting these ports
1. Faults Relative with Power and Cooling System
Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:
When the power on-off is at the “ON” location, check whether the fan works norm
ally. If the fan does not work well, check the fan.
The working temperature of the switch is from 0to 40 Celsius degrees.If the swit
ch is too hot, check whether the air outlet and air inlet are clean and then do relat
ive operations in section 2.3 “Requirements for Common Locations”.
If the switch cannot be started and the PWR indicator is off, check the power.
2. Faults Relative with Port, Cable and Connection
Do the following checkups to help remove the fault:
If the port of the switch cannot be linked, check whether the cable is correctly co
nnected and whether the peer connection is normal.
If the power on-off is at the “ON” location, check the power source and the power
cable.
If the console port does not work after the system is started up, check whether th
econsole port is set to abaud rate of 9600 bps, eight data bits, no sum check bit
,one stop bit and no traffic control.
