carefully the following installation guide.

2.1.1 Environmental Requirements

 The switch must be installed in a clean area. Otherwise, the switch may be damaged by

electrostatic adherence.

 Maintain the temperature within 0 to 50 °C and the humidity within 5% to 95%,

non-condensing.

 The switch must be put in a dry and cool place. Leave sufficient spacing around the switch

for good air circulation.

 The switch must work in the right range of power input (AC power: 90 ~

264V (50Hz), DC

power: -40 ~ -60V)

 The switch must be well grounded in order to avoid ESD damage and physical injury of

people.

 The switch should avoid the sunlight perpendicular incidence. Keep the switch away from

heat sources and strong electromagnetic interference sources.

 The switch must be mounted to a standard 19’’ rack or placed on a clean level desktop.

2.1.1.1 Dust and Particles

Dust is harmful to the safe operation of ES4624/26-SFP. Dust can lead to electrostatic
adherence, especially likely under low relative humidity, causing poor contact of metal connectors
or contacts. Electrostatic adherence will result in not only reduced product lifespan, but also
increased chance of communication failures. The recommended value for dust content and particle
diameter in the site is shown below:

Table 2.2 Environmental Requirements: Particles

2.1.1.2 Temperature and Humidity

Although the switch is designed to use 4 fans, the site should still 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. In the hot summer, it is
recommended to use air-conditioners to cool down the site. And the cold winter, it is
recommenced to use heaters.

The recommended temperature and humidity is shown below:

Temperature: Relative humidity
Long term condition Short term condition Long term condition Short term condition
15 ~ 30°C 0 ~ 50°C 40 ~ 65% 10 ~ 95%

Table 2.3 Environmental Requirements: Temperature and Humidity

Caution!
A sample of ambient temperature and humidity should be taken at 1.5m above the floor and

0.4m in front of the switch rack, with no protective panel covering the front and rear of the rack
Short term working conditions refer to a maximum of 48 hours of continued operation and an
annual cumulative total of less than 15 days. Formidable operation conditions refers to the ambient
temperature and relative humidity value that may occur during an air-conditioning system failure,
and normal operation conditions should be recovered within 5 hours.

2-2

2.1.1.3 Power Supply

Before powering on the power supply, please check the power input to ensure proper
grounding of the power supply system. The input source for the switch should be reliable and
secure； a voltage adaptor can be used if necessary. The building’s circuit protection system
should include in the circuit a fuse or circuit-breaker of no greater than 240 V, 10 A. It is
recommended to use a UPS for more reliable power supplying. .

Caution!

Improper power supply system grounding, extreme fluctuation of the input source, and
transients (or spikes) can result in larger error rate, or even hardware damage!

2.1.1.4 Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Static electric discharges can cause damage to internal circuits, even the entire switch. Follow
these guidelines for avoiding ESD damage:

 Ensure proper earth grounding of the device;
 Perform regular cleaning to reduce dust;
 Maintain proper temperature and humidity;
 Always wear an ESD wrist strap and antistatic uniform when in contact with circuit boards.

2.1.1.5 Anti-interference

All sources of interference, whether from the device/system itself or the outside environment,
will affect operations in various ways, such as capacitive coupling, inductive coupling,
electromagnetic radiation, common impedance (including the grounding system) and cables/lines
(power cables, signal lines, and output lines). The following should be noted:

 Precautions should be taken to prevent power source interruptions;
 Provide the system with a dedicated grounding, rather than sharing the grounding with the

electronic equipment or lightning protection devices.
 Keep away from high power radio transmitters, radar transmitters, and high frequency strong

circuit devices.
 Provide electromagnetic shielding if necessary.

2.1.1.6 Rack Configuration

The dimensions of the ES4624/26-SFP are designed to be mounted on a standard 19’’ rack,

2-3

the dimensions are 436mm x 44mm x 420mm (W x H x D). Please ensure good ventilation for the
rack.

 Every device in the rack will generate heat during operation, therefore vent and fans must be

provided for an enclosed rack, and devices should not be stacked closely.
 When mounting devices in an open rack, care should be taken to prevent the rack frame from

obstructing the switch ventilation openings. Be sure to check the positioning of the switch

after installation to avoid the aforementioned.

Caution！

If a standard 19’’ rack is not available, the ES4624/26-SFP can be placed on a clean level
desktop, leave a clearance of 10mm around the switch for ventilation, and do not place anything

2.3.5 Copper Cable/Fiber Cable Connection

Copper cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port in the switch copper
cable line card;
Step 2: Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port of some other
device;
Step 3: Check all status indicators for the corresponding ports; a lighted LED indicates that the
link has been established, otherwise the link is not ready and the cable should be examined.

Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the right port. Connecting to wrong ports

might damage the switch.

Fiber cables should be connected as below:
Step 1: remove the protective plug from the SFP/XFP fiber transceiver bore; Remove the
protective cap from one end of the fiber cable. Keep the fiber end clean and neat.
Step 2: Attach one end of the fiber cable to the SFP/XFP transceiver, and attach the other end to
the transceiver of the corresponding devices. Note: The SFP/XFP transceiver’s TX port should be
connected to the RX port of the corresponding device, and vice versa.
Step 3: Check the fiber port status indicator, a lighted LED indicates that the link has been
established; otherwise the link is not ready and should be examined.

Caution!
Please verify the sign above the port to ensure using the other ports. Connecting to wrong ports

might damage the transceiver or the other ports. When connecting other devices through a fiber
cable to the switch, the output power of the fiber cable must not exceed the maximum received
power of the corresponding modules. Otherwise, it will damage the switch. Do not stare at the
fiber bore when the switch is in operation. That may hurt your eyes.

2.3.6 Power Supply Connection

ES4624/26-SFP uses 100-240V AC power supply by default. Please read the power input
specification for the detailed information. -48V DC power supply and AC/DC redundancy power
input are also supported.

AC Power supply connection procedure is described as below:

Figure 2-3 Attaching power cable to ES4624/26-SFP

1. Insert one end of the power cable provided in the accessory kit into the power source socket
(with overload and leakage protection), and the other end to the power socket in the back panel of
the switch.

2. Check the power status indicator in the front panel of the switch. The corresponding power
indicator should light. ES4624/26-SFP is self-adjustable for the input voltage. As soon as the input
voltage is in the range printed on the switch surface, the switch can operate correctly.

3. When the switch is powered on, it executes self-test procedure and startups.
Caution!
The input voltage must be within the required range, otherwise the switch can be damaged or
malfunction. Do not open the switch shell without permission. It can cause physical injury.
