29 Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules: Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power cord of the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid. Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis. Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case of a fall. Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of the switch free of obstruction. Make sure the operating voltage is as required. To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis when the switch is operating or when the switch is just powered off. When replacing interface cards, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the cards. Examining the installation site The S5500-EI Switch Series must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench, but make sure: Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation. The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The rack is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories. The rack or workbench is well earthed. To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsections. Temperature/humidity You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and metal corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as the result of contraction of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the circuits on the device. High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates aging of insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life of your switch. For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see "Technical specifications." 21

30 Cleanness Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure. Table 23 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room Substance Unit Concentration limit Dust NOTE The dust particle size 5 μm. Particles/m³ 3 x 10 4 (no visible dust on the tabletop within three days) The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 24. Table 24 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m 3 ) SO H 2 S NH Cl EMI All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, take the following actions: As the AC power system is a TN system, use a single-phase three-wire power socket with Protection Earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid. Keep the switch far from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices. Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary, for example, use shielded interface cables. Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes. Laser safety The S5500-EI Switch Series is a line of Class 1 laser devices. CAUTION: When a fiber port on an S5500-EI switch is operating, do not stare into the fiber port because the laser light emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes. 22

33 CAUTION: Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact the local agent of H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby. NOTE: The S5500-EI Switch Series supports IRF. For how to form an IRF virtual device, see "Forming an IRF virtual device." Installing the switch into a 19-inch rack Installation methods You can install a switch into a 19-inch standard rack in one of the following ways: Use front mounting brackets Use front mounting brackets and a tray Use front mounting brackets and rear mounting brackets The installation methods of a switch depend on the depth of the switch. For the specific installation methods, see Table 25. Table 25 Installation methods Method Depth Use front mounting brackets Use front mounting brackets and a rack shelf 300 mm (11.81 in) N/A 360 mm (14.17 in) N/A 420 mm (16.54 in) N/A Use front and rear mounting brackets NOTE: For a switch with a depth greater than 300 mm (11.81 in), the front mounting brackets only secure the switch rather than bear its weight. 25

Switches are often placed on clean workbenches. To place the switch on a workbench, follow these steps: 1. Place the switch with bottom up carefully, and then clean the round holes on the chassis bottom with dry cloth. 2. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes on the chassis bottom. 3. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench. During the operation, you simply need to: Make sure the workbench is flat and sturdy. Ensure good ventilation and a space of 10 cm (3.94 in) around the chassis for heat dissipation. Avoid heavy objects on the switch. 32

41 Grounding the switch CAUTION: Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only. The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth so that the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch. You have the following approaches to grounding the switch depending on the grounding conditions available at the installation site: Grounding the switch with a grounding strip Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground Grounding the switch in other grounding environments Grounding the switch with a grounding strip The S5500-EI Switch Series has a grounding point (with a grounding sign) at the rear panel. To connect the grounding cable: 1. Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis. 2. Attach the grounding screw to the OT terminal of the grounding cable. 3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding screw hole. Figure 26 Connecting the grounding cable to the grounding hole of switch (1) Rear panel of the switch (2) Grounding sign (3) Grounding hole (4) OT terminal (5) Grounding cable (6) Grounding screw 33

42 To attach the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip: 4. Cut the grounding cable as appropriate for connecting to the grounding strip. 5. Peel 5 mm (0.20 in) of insulation sheath by using a wire stripper, and insert the bare metal part through the black insulation covering into the end of the OT terminal. 6. Secure the metal part of the cable to the OT terminal with a crimper, cover the joint with the insulation covering, and heat the insulation covering with a blow dryer to completely cover the metal part. 7. Connect the OT terminal to the grounding pole of the grounding strip, and fasten it with a hex nut. Figure 27 Connecting the grounding cable to the grounding strip (1) Grounding post (2) Grounding strip (3) Grounding cable (4) Hex nut CAUTION: Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod. Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground If the installation site has no grounding strips, but earth ground is available, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth ground to serve as a grounding conductor. The angle iron must have a dimension no less than mm ( in) and the steel tube must have a wall thickness no less than 3.5 mm (0.14 in) and be zinc-coated. Weld the yellow-green grounding cable to the angel iron or steel tube and treat the joint for corrosion protection. 34

Make sure the PE wire is well connected to the ground at the power distribution room or AC transformer side, the switch PE terminal and the PE wire are well connected, and the three-wire input cable of the grounding cable is used for the power supply cable. If the PE wire of the AC power supply is not grounded at the power distribution room or AC transformer side, report the problem and reconstruct the grounding system. Figure 29 Grounding through an AC power PE wire (1) Three-wire AC power input cable (2) Switch rear panel Grounding a DC-powered switch If the installation site has no grounding strips or earth ground, you ground a DC-powered switch through the return wire (RTN) of the DC power supply, and make sure this RTN wire is well connected to the ground at the DC output of the DC power cabinet. 35

Installing and removing a hot swappable power module NOTE: This section describes how to install a power module for only the S F-EI switch. Before installation and removal, make sure no power cord is connected to the power module. The installation/removal procedures of the PSR150-A, PSR150-A1, PSR150-D, and PSR150-D1 are similar. This document takes the PSR150-A as an example to describe the installation and removal of the power module. Installing the power module To install the power module: 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Unpack the power module and verify that the power module model is as required. 3. Face the power module slot. 4. Insert the power module with the upside up. (if you insert it with the upside down, the insertion is not smooth because of the specific structure design of the power module and slot). Grasp the 36

45 handle of the module with one hand and support the module bottom with the other, and slide the module slowly along the guide rails into the slot (see callout 1 in Figure 31). 5. Fasten the captive screw on the power module with a Philips screwdriver until the power module is attached into the chassis (see callout 2 in Figure 31). Figure 31 Installing the power module to the switch CAUTION: If a power module slot has a filler panel, remove the filler panel before inserting a power module. To prevent damage to the power module or the connector on the backplane of the powered device, insert the power module gently. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power module, pull out the power module and then insert it again. If the captive screw cannot be tightly attached, check the installation of the power module. Removing the power module 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Disconnect the power cord from the power module and the external power supply. 3. Loosen the captive screw of the power module with a Philips screwdriver until the captive screw falls off the powered device. 4. Grasp the handle of the module with one hand and pull it out a little, support the module bottom with the other hand, and pull the module slowly along the guide rails out of the slot. NOTE: Put the power module into an antistatic bag after removal. Connecting the power cords CAUTION: Make sure the grounding cable has been correctly connected before powering on the switch. 37

51 Figure 43 Installing an interface card (2) NOTE: Keep the removed filler panel correctly for future use. When tightening the fastening screws at both sides of the interface card with a screwdriver or an electric screwdriver, make sure the torque is not bigger than 0.4 N-m. Removing an interface card 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws at both sides of the interface card until all spring pressure is released. 3. Pull the interface card towards you along the guide rails, until it completely comes out of the switch chassis. CAUTION: When installing or removing an optional interface card, follow these guidelines: Do not touch the surface-mounted components directly with your hands. Do not use too much force in the operation. After removing an interface card, if no new module is to be installed, install the filler panel as soon as possible to prevent dust and ensure the normal ventilation in the switch. Installing and removing a dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable Installing a dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable 43

52 NOTE: Make sure you have installed a CX4/SFP+ interface card before installing dedicated CX4/SFP+ cables. The installation and removal procedures of a CX4 cable are similar to an SFP+ cable. This section describes the installation and removal of the SFP+ cable for illustration. 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact is well grounded. Then unpack the dedicated SFP+ cable. 2. Horizontally plug the plug of the dedicated SFP+ cable into the SFP+ port of the switch and pay attention to the direction of the plug when plugging it. Removing a dedicated CX4/SFP+ Cable 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded. 2. Hold the plug of the SFP+ cable, pull the handle at the end of the plug to horizontally unplug the plug of the SFP+ cable from the SFP+ port of the switch. CAUTION: Dedicated CX4/SFP+ cables of the S5500-EI Switch Series are hot swappable. Make sure the cable bending radius is no less than eight times of the cable diameter when dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable is connected. Forming an IRF virtual device The S5500-EI series support the IRF function. You can install IRF-capable interface cards to connect multiple switches through the 10 GE ports to form a logical device, thus to establish a new intelligent network with high reliability, expandability, and manageability. 44

N/A Use cables to connect 10 G ports of the interface cards: The given XFP ports work with XFP optical transceivers and fibers The given SFP+ ports can work with SFP+ optical transceivers and fibers for long-haul transmission; or they can be directly connected through dedicated SFP+ cables for short-haul transmission The given CX4 ports use dedicated CX4 cables for connection The given 1/10GBase-T Ethernet ports use Category 6 or later twisted-pair cables for connection For how to connect the cables, see "Installing a dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable." Finish establishing an IRF virtual device Drawing a plan for an IRF virtual device Before implementing an IRF virtual device, draw a plan according to actual conditions of the user network and network devices and take the following points into consideration: Determine the number of IRF members and the bandwidth You can determine the number of IRF members and the bandwidth according to the network scale. The S5500-EI series support aggregation of the 10 GE ports. You can assign the two 10 GE ports of an interface card to an aggregation group to expand the bandwidth for the IRF virtual device. NOTE: 10 GE ports of different interface cards cannot join the same aggregation group in the IRF virtual device. Therefore, 1-port XFP interface cards do not support port aggregation in the IRF virtual device. Select the proper interface cards and cables You can select the interface cards and cables according to the distance between members of the IRF virtual device. For long-distance connections, use XFP/SFP+ optical modules and fibers to connect the devices; for short-distance connections, use CX4/SFP+ cables or twisted-pair cables to connect the devices. For relevant information, see "Interface cards." 46

55 Configure the physical connection mode IRF supports two physical connection modes: daisy chain connection and ring connection. A ring connection is more reliable than a daisy chain connection. The failure of one link in a ring connection does not affect the function and performance of the IRF virtual device, whereas the failure of one link in a daisy chain connection causes the split of the IRF virtual device. Figure 45 The daisy chain connection mode Master Slave IRF virtual device Slave Figure 46 The ring connection mode Master IRF virtual device Slave Slave NOTE: Each of the devices comprising a ring connection or non-edge devices in a daisy chain connection needs two 10 GE ports to connect other devices; therefore, you need to install two 1-port 10 GE XFP interface cards on such devices. Connect the cables Before connecting the cables, determine the actual position of the member devices and the length of the cables, and observe the following: Understand the neighbor devices for one another Install the interface cards in proper slots as needed. Each S5500-EI series provides two expansion slots. Determine the ports on different devices to be connected. When 2-port interface cards are used to constitute an IRF virtual device and the ports are not assigned to any aggregation group, ports of the interface card in slot 1 (MOD 1) can be connected to ports of MOD 1 or MOD 2. However, the left port can be connected to only the right port of another interface card, that is, two ports at the same side cannot be connected, as shown in Figure

56 Figure 47 Cable connections of an IRF virtual device in the non-aggregate mode with 2-port interface cards When 2-port interface cards are adopted in an IRF virtual device with ports operating in the aggregation mode, ports of MOD 1 can only be connected to ports of MOD 2, and the locations of the ports of the interface cards are not limited. Figure 48 Cable connections in an IRF virtual device in the aggregation mode with 2-port interface cards 1-port interface cards do not support port aggregation in the IRF virtual device. When 1-port interface cards are connected for an IRF virtual device, the port of MOD 1 can only be connected to the port on MOD 2, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 49; when a 1-port interface card is connected to a 2-port interface card for an IRF virtual device, the port of MOD 1 can only be connected to the right port of the 2-port interface card, as shown by callout 2 in Figure

57 Figure 49 Cable connections for an IRF virtual device with 1-port interface cards Verifying the installation Before powering on the switch, verify that: There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack or workbench is stable. The grounding cable is connected. The selected power module matches that required by the switch. The power cords are correctly connected. All the interface cables are cabled indoors. If there is any cable wired outdoors, verify that socket strip with lightning protection and lightning arresters for network ports have been correctly connected. 49
