Installation ManualH3C S7500 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Installation Preparations3-51) AC power module parameters:z Rated voltage range: 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60Hzz Input voltage range: 90 to 264 VAC, 50/60Hzz Maximum output power: 450 W2) DC power module parameters:z Rated voltage range: –48 to –60 VDCz Input voltage range: –36 to –72 VDCz Maximum output power: 450 W3.3 Installation PlanningSince the S7500 series are a kind of complex equipment, it is necessary to make agood plan and arrangement concerning installation position, networking mode, powersupply and cabling before installation.3.3.1 Installation Space RequirementFor better heat dissipation and equipment maintenance, it is recommended that thefront and back of the switch should be at least 1 m (39.4 in.) away from walls or otherdevices, and that the left and right side should be at least 0.8 m (31.5 in.) away fromwalls. If the switch is to be installed in a cabinet, the headroom in the equipment roomshould be 3 m (9.84 ft.) at least.3.3.2 Cabinet-Mounting RequirementsBefore mounting the switch in a cabinet, make sure the cabinet meets the followingrequirements:z Mount the switch in an open cabinet if possible. However, if you mount a switch ina closed cabinet, make sure that the cabinet is equipped with a good heatdissipation system.z Make sure that the cabinet is steady enough to support the switch andaccessories.z Make sure that the cabinet fits the switch size, and that there is clearance aroundthe left and right panels of the switch for heat dissipation.
