1 Product overview

eMERGE EM-GE series are a new generation Ethernet Media Router developed by Nevion,
designed to meet the requirements for high performance and high reliability. eMERGE EM­GE series of Ethernet Media Router are mainly targeted at customers’ needs for enterprise
or carrier network aggregation or access layer. Hardware support for IPv4 & IPv6 dual stack
and enhanced multicast and QoS capabilities can provide customers with a wealth of
business features and routing functions, as well as hardware-based security features.

The eMERGE EM-GE Series provides high port density with 48GE fixed port and adopts
flexible modular design to support maximum 4 x 10G uplinks.

The eMERGE EM-GE Series (Figure 1-1) includes four base configurations: eMERGE EM­GE-48T/ eMERGE EM-GE-24T/ eMERGE EM-GE-48S/ eMERGE EM-GE-24S, and provide
three uplink modules: EM-GE-4SFP+/EM-GE-2SFP+/EM-GE-4SFP (Only for eMERGE EM­GE-48T & eMERGE EM-GE-24T).

2 Installation

2.1 Preparation for Installation

2.1.1 Safety Precaution

The following precautions should be followed to avoid equipment damage and personal injury
caused by improper use:

-

Power source should be removed before cleaning switches. Do not use wet rags to

wipe switches and clean switches with liquid.

-

Do not place switches near water or in a wet environment, and prevent water or

moisture from entering switch chassis.

-

Do not place switches on an unstable case or table, since the dropping would cause

serious harm to switches.

-

Maintain good indoor ventilation and clear air holes of switches.

-

Router shall work normally under correct voltage, so make sure the operating voltage

agrees with the voltage marked on switches.

-

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove its enclosure when a switch is

working, and don’t do so at will even if it is not powered.

-

Anti-static gloves must be worn when replacing interface board to prevent static

electricity from damaging veneer.

2.1.2 Installation Site

To ensure a normal work environment, eMERGE EM-GE series should have the following
requirements for workplace:

-

Ensure that there are some spaces at the inlet and outlet of switch for heat dispersion

of switch chassis.

-

Ensure that rack and working platform have good ventilation and heat dispersion

systems.

-

Ensure that rack and working platform is firm enough to support the weight of a

switch and its accessories for installation.

-

Ensure rack and working platform is well earthed.

To ensure switches maintain a long-term stable work, the installation workplace should also
meet the following requirements:

Temperature/Humidity Requirements

To ensure the normal work and service life of switches, certain temperature and humidity
should be maintained inside switch rooms. Longtime higher humidity inside switch rooms
may easily lead to poor insulation or even electric leakage of dielectrics, and sometimes
cause material changes in mechanical features and corrosion of metal parts; if the relative
humidity is lower, insulation pads could dry shrink to make fastening screws loose.
Meanwhile, in the dry climate, lower relative humidity could easily cause static electricity
which will impose harms to the circuit of switch; higher temperature would be even more
harmful: longtime high temperature would accelerate aging process of insulation materials to
greatly reduce the reliability of switches and severely affect their service life.

Humidity

Cleanliness Requirements

Dust is a big hazard to the safe operation of switches. Indoor dust falling on the switch body
can cause electrostatic adsorption to make poor contact of metal connectors or metal
contacts. Especially when the indoor relative humidity is lower, electrostatic adsorption is
easily formed, which will not only affect equipment service life, but also easily lead to
communication failure.

Concentration limit

DUST

Particle/m3

≤ 3 X 104 (No visible dust on the tabletop for three days)

Note: The dust particle size is ≥ 5 μm

Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the content of harmful substances that can
accelerate the corrosion and aging of metals, such as salts, acids, and sulfides in the air in
the equipment room, and the equipment room must be protected against ingression of
harmful gases such as SO2, H2S, NH3, and Cl2. For the specific requirement, see the following
table.

Electromagnetic Susceptibility

Router may be affected by the interferences from outside the system, which will have an
effect on devices through conduction of capacitance coupling, inductive coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, common impedance (including ground system) coupling and
wires (power wire, signal wire and output signal wire, etc.). The following attention should be
paid to:

-

AC power supply system is TN system, and AC power socket should be single-phase

3-wire outlet with protective earth (PE) so that filter circuit on devices can effectively

filter interference from electric grid.

-

Places where switches work should be kept away from strong-power radio

transmitting station, radar transmitting station, high-frequency high-current devices.
