15 Chapter 2 Installation Preparations Chapter 2 Installation Preparations 2.1 General Site Requirements The H3C SecPath F100-M firewall must be used indoors. To guarantee normal operation and longevity of your device, its installation site should meet the requirements described in this chapter Temperature and Humidity The equipment room must maintain proper humidity to prevent poor insulation, electricity creepage and corrosion accompanying high humidity, or washer contraction and electrostatic discharge accompanying low humidity. In dry environments where the relative humidity is very low, electrostatic discharge (ESD) is more likely to happen causing the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry to fail. Table 2-1 lists the temperature and humidity requirements. Table 2-1 Temperature/humidity requirements in the equipment room Temperature Relative humidity 0 C to 45 C (32 F to 113 F) 10% to 95% (noncondensing) Cleanliness Dust is hazardous to the operating safety of your device. Dust buildup on the chassis may result in static absorption, causing poor contact of metal components or points. When indoor humidity is extremely low, this is more likely to happen to shorten the useful life of the device and cause communication failures. The equipment room must be free of explosion hazards and the electrical and magnetic conductible dust as well. The following table lists the limits on dust particles: Table 2-2 Limits on the dust particles in the equipment room Mechanical active material Dust particle Unit Particle/m³ Content (No visible dust on desk in three days) Note: Dust particles diameter = 5µm 2-1

16 Chapter 2 Installation Preparations Besides, the equipment room should meet the rigorous limits on salt, acid and sulfide to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of some parts, as shown in the Table 2-3. Table 2-3 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room Gas Max content (mg/m3) SO H 2 S NH Cl ESD Prevention By design, the H3C SecPath F100-M firewall is ESD preventative, but excessive buildup of static electricity can still damage the card circuitry and even the entire device. On the communication network connected to the firewall, static electricity is primarily introduced from the outside electrical fields, such as the outdoor high-voltage power cabling and lightning, and from the inside system, such as indoor environment, floor material and the equipment frame. To avoid damage, ensure that: The device is well grounded. The equipment room is dust-proof. Maintain adequate temperature and humidity. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and clothes when contacting the circuit board. Place the removed circuit board upward on the ESD-preventive workbench, or into a static shielded bag. Hold the circuit board by its edge when observing or moving it, avoiding direct contact with the elements on it Electromagnetic Compatibility All interference sources, from the outside or from the inside of the device/application system, adversely affect the device in the conduction patterns of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including grounding system) coupling. To prevent the interference, do the following: Take effective measures against interference from the power grid. Use a separate grounding system or lightning protection grounding from that for the power supply equipment and keep them as far as possible. Keep the device far away from strong power wireless launchers, radar launchers and high frequency and high-current equipment. Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. 2-2

17 Chapter 2 Installation Preparations Lightning Protection By design, the H3C SecPath F100-M firewall is lightning protective; but excessive lightning may still damage the device. To protect the device better, you are recommended to: Ensure the grounding screw of the chassis is securely connected to the earth ground.
