SWM281 Installation Instructions

Overview

The SWM281 is designed for installation into a standard 19-inch rack cabinet. The mounting brackets are integrated into the device housing and do not require separate attachment.

  • Cage nut insertion tool (recommended)

Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the Rack

  1. Select the desired rack unit (U) position for the SWM281.
  2. Ensure the rack posts are properly aligned and accessible from the front.
  3. Install cage nuts into the square holes of the rack posts at the selected height:
    • Two cage nuts on the left front rack post
    • Two cage nuts on the right front rack post

Note: Ensure cage nuts are fully seated in the square holes.

2. Mount the SWM281 into the Rack

Operating conditions

  • Operating temperature: 0° to +50° Celsius
  • Humidity should be in the range of 5% to 95% (non-condensing). Only use the device in dry environments.
  • Out of direct sunlight
  • Away from heat source, corrosive substances, salts, and flammable gases

Attention: operation outside the permissible range can considerably shorten the service life of the device.

Faulty and damaged products

  • Do not attempt to disassemble the device or its accessories.
  • Only qualified personnel must service or repair the device or its accessories.
  • If your device or its accessories have been submerged in water punctured or subjected to a severe fall, do not use until they have been checked at an authorized service center.

Electrical safety

  • Only use approved accessories.
  • Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
  • It is recommended to ground devices with grounding terminals before connecting them to power. Failure to ground appropriately might result in a shock hazard. The cross-sectional area of the protective grounding conductor should be at least 1mm2.
  • Always observe the local regulations and standards. Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed

to operate the equipment.

  • Carefully check your work area for possible hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables, missing safety grounds, and moist floors.

  • Direct or indirect touch through a wet object with high-voltage and mains supply can bring a fatal danger.

Laser safety

The optical transceivers are Class I laser products. Attention should be paid to the following items:

  • When an optical transceiver is working, ensure that the port is connected to an optical cable or covered by dust cap to keep out dust and prevent burning your eyes.
  • Do not stare into any optical port.

Danger

  • Do not approach or stare into any optical port under any circumstances. This may cause permanent damage to your eyes.

System Grounding

A reliable grounding system is the basis for stable and reliable operation, which is indispensable for preventing lightning strikes and interference. Carefully check the grounding conditions at the installation site according to the grounding specifications, and complete grounding properly based on the site situation.

  • Safety Grounding

Ensure that the rack and power distribution system are securely grounded. Otherwise, electric shocks may occur when the insulation resistance between the power module and the chassis becomes small.

Caution

The building should provide a protective ground connection to ensure that the equipment is connected to a protective earth.
