CHAPTER 3: PREPARING THE SITE
The EMS100G-32 is suitable for installation as part of a common bond network (CBN).
You can install the switch in:
Network telecommunications facilities
Data centers
Other locations where the National Electric Code (NEC) applies
NOTE: Install the EMS100G-32 switch into a rack or cabinet before installing any optional components.
3.1 SITE SELECTION
Install this equipment in restricted access areas.
A restricted access area is one in which service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key or other means of
security. Also, access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
Ensure that the area where you install your EMS100G-32 switch meets the following safety requirements:
Near an adequate power source. Connect the switch to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined in your codes.
Environmental temperature range i from 32 to 113° F (0 to 45° C).
The switch operating ambient temperature range is from 50 to 95° F (10 to 35° F).
Operating humidity is from 5 to 85 percent noncondensing.
Storage humidity is from 5 to 95 percent noncondensing.
In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature controlled room away from heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight.
Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
Positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides for proper ventilation and access.
TECHNICAL
SUPPORT
1. 8 7 7. 8 7 7. 2 2 6 9
3.2 CABINET PLACEMENT
Install the EMS100G-32 only in indoor cabinets designed for use in a controlled environment.
Do not install the S3048–ON in outside cabinets. For cabinet placement requirements, see Site Selection.
The cabinet must meet minimum size requirements. Airflow must be in accordance with the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA)
standard. Ensure that there is a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) between the intake and exhaust vents and the cabinet wall.
3.3 RACKMOUNTING
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is grounded.
Ground the equipment rack to the same ground point the power service in your area uses. The ground path must be permanent.
3.4 SWITCH GROUND
Black Box recommends you ground your switch. Use the EMS100G-32 in a common bond network (CBN).
Connect the grounding cables as described in Install the Switch.

CHAPTER 3: PREPARING THE SITE
3.5 FANS AND AIRFLOW
The EMS100G-32 fans support normal airflow (from the I/O side to the PSU side).
Fans
Installation of the fans is done as part of the factory install based on stock keeping units (SKU) type. The EMS100G-32 supports
the following configuration:
AC PSU with fan airflow from the I/O to the PSU
NOTE: Use a single type of airflow fan in your switch. Do not mix reverse and normal airflows in a single EMS100G-32 chassis.
For proper ventilation, position the EMS100G-32 in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance
around the exhaust vents.
3.6 POWER
To connect the chassis to the applicable power source, use the appropriate power cord with the EMS100G-32. An AC power cord is
included with the switch.
When installing AC switches, follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 where applicable.
The switch is powered-up as soon as the power cord is connected between the switch and the power source.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cable before you service the power supply slots.
CAUTION: Use the power supply cord as the main disconnect device on the AC switch. Make sure that the socket outlet is located/
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.

3.7 STORING COMPONENTS
If you do not install your EMS100G-32 and components immediately, properly store the switch and all optional components
by following these guidelines:
Storage location temperature must remain constant. The storage range is from -40 to +158° F (-40 to +70° C).
Store on a dry surface or floor, away from direct sunlight, heat and air conditioning ducts.
Store in a dust-free environment.
NOTE: ESD damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear and ESD-preventive wrist or heel ground strap
when handling the switch and its accessories. After you remove the original packaging, place the switch and its components on an
anti-static surface.

CHAPTER 4: NEBS COMPLIANCE
For your switch to be network equipment building system (NEBS) compliant, you must follow the instructions detailed in this
section.
To be NEBS compliant, orient your switch in the rack so that the air inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is to the rear
aisle.
4.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING: The form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+), QSFP+, QSFP28, console, Ethernet management, and universal serial bus (USB)
ports are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabing only. You must NOT metallically connect the ports
to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. Use these interfaces as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or
Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and they require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. Adding primary
protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
WARNING: If you install and connect the EMS100G-32 switch to a commercial AC power source, you must connect the switch to an
external special protection device (SPD).
TECHNICAL
SUPPORT
1. 8 7 7. 8 7 7. 2 2 6 9
To be NEBs compliant, you must follow these regulations:
Locate your switch in a restricted access area where only trained personnel are allowed access.
Install and connect your switch to the common bonding network (CBN).
You can also install and connect your switch to the central office.
Connect the battery returns of your switch as DC-I.
Ground your switch using a copper ground connector.
Clean and coat all bare grounding connection points on your switch with antioxidant
Clean and coat all bare grounding connection points on your switch with an antioxidant solution before making connections.
Bring all unplated surfaces on your switch to a bright finish and treat them with an antioxidant solution before making connections.
Remove any nonconductive surfaces on your switch from the threads and connection points to ensure electrical continuity.
Use the two-hole, Listed, compression-type lug with an AWG 14 gauge wire that uses 4-in./lb. to secure your switch to the frame.
NOTE: The switch can operate at -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC at a maximum current level of 15 A.
NOTE: The switch is Earthquake Z4-compliant when you attach the rails to the frame using threaded hardware.
4.2 NEBS-COMPLIANT GROUND INSTALLATION
Before you install the switch into a rack, install the ground (GND) lug assembly.
Your switch includes two installed M3 screws on the lower-left side of your chassis. Your switch also includes an assembled
UL-certified GND lug with bracket, packaged separately. If any parts are missing, contact Black Box Technical Support
at 877-877-2269 or info@blackbox.com
