Site Planning plus Safety Guidelines

Warning To make sure adequate cooling, mount the chassis using the nonport side facing the air-intake section. Verify that a the least 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic meters/hour) of venting is available to the oxygen intake vents around the nonport side on the switch. This stops the fans via pulling in heated fatigue air.

To mount and operate a switch successfully, make sure that the following requirements are usually met: The primary AC input will be 100-240 VAC (transition autosenses input current ), 47-63 Hz. The primary outlet, will be correctly wired, guarded by a circuit breaker, and grounded as stated by local electrical requirements. The supply outlet, line fusing, and also wire size are generally adequate, as chosen by the electrical status on the switch nameplate. For power supply facts, refer to the SilkWorm 4100 Hardware a blueprint Manual. To assure adequate cooling, set up the switch while using the nonport side, that contains the air take in vents, facing any cool-air aisle.

Verify that the ambient atmosphere temperature does not go beyond 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) and that this ambient humidity remains between 20 percent in addition to 85 percent while the switch is operating. If installing the switch in a cabinet: The cabinet must be a normal EIA cabinet. Plan a cabinet place that is 1 stand unit high (a single.75 inches; some.44 cm), 21 inches (48.3 or more cm) wide, and a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) deep. Ground all equipment while in the cabinet through a reputable branch circuit link and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a side branch circuit, such as a power strip. Ensure this airflow and heat range requirements are found on an ongoing time frame, particularly if the move is installed in a closed or multirack assembly. Verify the additional weight of the switch does not exceed a cabinets weight boundaries or unbalance the cupboard in any way. Secure your cabinet to ensure stability in the event of unexpected movement.
