Cabling Specifications: The positive and negative poles of 24V DC redundant power supply are clearly distinguished, the wiring is firm and without loosening; the electrical ports use industrial shielded network cables, the shielding layer is reliably grounded; the fiber optic interfaces (extensions) need to be cleaned before use to avoid end face contamination affecting communication quality.

(2) Maintenance Points

Regular inspection: Monthly check the appearance of the modules, the status of the indicator lights and whether the wiring is loose, confirm the normal port links and communication; check the system diagnostic logs to identify potential fault hazards.

Cleaning Maintenance: Every quarter, use a dry soft cloth to wipe the surface of the modules, ports and fiber optic ends (extensions), remove dust, oil stains, and avoid contact problems; check the heat dissipation channels to ensure no blockage.

Fault Troubleshooting: When there is communication abnormality, first check if the power supply and wiring are normal, then locate the faulty port through the indicator lights; when the fiber optic port is abnormal, check the end face cleanliness and the status of the optical module; when the module fails, perform hot swapping for replacement.

Replacement Notes: Support online hot swapping, no need to stop the machine for replacement; after replacement, check the module configuration parameters, test the redundant switching and VLAN communication functions, and confirm they are normal before putting it into operation.
