Accton Technology ES4710BD manual Site Requirements, Temperature and Humidity Requirements

ES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch

Notice

!Watch out for potential dangers, e.g. wet floors, ungrounded power lines, and worn power lines.

!Have an emergency switch installed inside the workshop, so that power can be cut off promptly should an accident occur.

!Do not work alone if potential dangers are present.

!On the event of an accident, take the following measures:

1.Power down the system

2.Make emergency calls if required

3.Determine whether the victim requires immediate treatment and take appropriate action

4.If possible, send someone for medical help; otherwise, consider the damage and seek help

2.1.1Site Requirements

The ES4710BD must be used indoors, and have the following requirements: Ambient temperature: 0 ~ 40°C

Humidity: 10% ~ 90%, non-condensing

The ES4710BD is equipped with a fan assembly for providing the switch with an appropriate level of cooling; you can place the switch on a workbench or rack. Ensure the following:

zThe rack or workbench should be well ventilated. For sufficient air circulation, it is recommended to mount the switch on a 19″ standard rack with sufficient spacing. Air conditioning is recommended in areas with high temperatures in the summer.

zTo cool the internal circuits, the switch comes with internal fan assemblies. To maintain proper air circulation through the switch chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 100mm separation between the chassis air intake or the chassis air exhaust and any walls. Make sure that all air intakes and exhausts on the system remain unobstructed. Do not stack heavy items on the switch.

zMake sure the rack or workbench are strong enough to support the weight of a fully configured switch.

zMake sure the rack or workbench is well grounded; if the workbench is not grounded, it should be placed near a grounding conductor to provide easy ground connection for the switch.

2.1.2Temperature and Humidity Requirements

To maximize the switch’s performance and lifespan, the site should maintain a desirable temperature and humidity. High-humidity conditions can cause electrical resistance degradation or even electric leakage, degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion of internal components. Extreme low relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to contract, making the fastening screw insecure. Furthermore, in dry environments, static electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to internal circuits. Temperature extremes can cause reduced reliability and premature aging of insulation materials, thus reducing the switch’s working lifespan. The recommended temperature and humidity are shown below:
