Cleanness

Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal

components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,

electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.

(no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)

IMPORTANT:

Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 μm

The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in

EMI requirements

All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application

system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,

electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To

prevent EMI, take the following actions:

If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to

filter interference from the power grid.

Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.

Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.

Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or
overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

Grounding

Using a good grounding system to protect your router against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD

is essential to the operating reliability of your router.
Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.
