2.3.1 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 syst
em’s function. Short
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”.
2.3.2 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 well-
discharged and sufficient air circulation is provided for device cooling.
Avoid to damage devices by following the electrostatic discharge prevention procedure.
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 machine box will reverse
the cool air flow.
2.3.3 Cabinet Configuration
The following content assists you to make a proper cabinet configuration:
Each device on the cabinet gives off heat when it runs. Therefore, the sealed cabinet must
have the heat-discharge outlet and the cooling fan. Do not put the devices too close, avoiding
bad ventilation.
When you install the machine box at the open cabinet, prevent the frame of the cabinet from
blocking the airway of the machine box.
Ensure that nice ventilation is provided for the devices installed at the bottom of the 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 mode in the machine box,
which can be obtained through different location tests.
