SFP Modules A WX5002 AC provides two gigabit SFP Ethernet optical interfaces.
2 Installation Preparation Safety Precautions To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules: z Pull the power plug(s) out of the AC before cleaning the AC. Do not clean the AC using wet cloth or liquid. z Keep the AC away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from entering the AC chassis. z Do not place the AC on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall.
Table 2-1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room Concentration limit (particles/m3) Physical active substance 4 Dust ≤ 3 × 10 (No visible dust on the tabletop over three days) Note: The dust particle diameter is ≥ 5 μm Besides the dust requirements, the AC equipment room also needs to strictly meet the requirements on the concentration of salt, acid, and sulfide. These harmful gases can accelerate the metallic corrosion and the aging process of some parts.
Installation Tools z Flathead screwdriver z Phillips screwdriver z ESD-preventive wrist strap The installation tools are not provided with WX5002 AC. You need to prepare them yourself.
3 Installation When you ask your sales agent to maintain your AC, you must ensure that the dismantlement-preventive seal on a mounting screw of the AC chassis is intact. If you want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you will bear any consequence resulting from your actions.
Installing a front mounting ear The following figures illustrate the installation of a front mounting ear: Figure 3-2 Install a front mounting ear onto a AC Figure 3-3 Install a front mounting ear onto a square-holed bracket Installing a AC on a Workbench In many cases, standard 19-inch racks are not available to users and ACs are often installed on clean workbenches. When installing an AC on a workbench, z Make sure that the workbench is flat, sturdy and well earthed.
Power Cords and Ground Wire Connection Connecting the AC Power Cord AC power socket (recommended) You are recommended to use a single-phase three-wire power socket with a neural point or a multifunction PC socket. The neutral point of the power in the building must be well grounded. Usually, the neutral points of power supplies in buildings are already grounded during cabling. Still, you need to check that the power supply of the building is reliably grounded.
Connecting the Ground Wire Connect the AC ground wire properly since it is crucial to lightning protection and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS). The power input end of the AC is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the chassis ground (also known as PGND). This chassis ground must be securely grounded so that induced and leaked electricity can be safely discharged to the ground, enhancing the EMS capability of the AC.
Figure 3-6 Ground the AC by burying a grounding body into the earth (1) AC power socket (4) Earth z (2) Grounding terminal (5) Angle steel (3) Protection ground wire For an AC-powered AC, if neither of the above-mentioned two conditions is available, ground the AC through a PE wire of the AC power supply. In this case, make sure the PE wire is well connected to the ground in the power distribution room or on the AC transformer side.

Gigabit Ethernet Interface Connection A WX5002 AC provides two gigabit Ethernet combo interfaces on its front panel. The connection methods of the gigabit Ethernet electrical interface and the gigabit Ethernet optical interface are respectively described here. Connecting an Ethernet Electrical Interface Cables for connecting an Ethernet electrical interface Ethernet electrical interfaces usually use category 5 twisted pair cables, as shown in Figure 3-9.
Step 2: View the LED of the Ethernet interface. ON means a link is present. OFF means no link is present. If the LED is OFF, check the line for the cause. Connecting an Ethernet Optical Interface Cables for connecting an Ethernet optical interface For 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet optical interfaces, use single-mode or multi-mode optical fibers to connect to the Ethernet based on the type of the installed 1000 Base-SX/LX SFP modules.
z All interface cables are routed indoors. If there are cables outdoors, check that a AC power strip with lightning protection and lightning arresters for network interfaces have been correctly connected.
