Preparing for installation Safety recommendations General safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. • Make sure the installation site is flat, vibration-free, and away from electromagnetic interferences.
• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems including loose mounting screws and circuit failure. • High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the device. Table 1 Temperature and humidity requirements for the equipment room Temperature Relative humidity...
• Always wear ESD gloves and ESD garment and remove conductive objects such as jewelry or watch before working with the device. All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the device and application system, adversely affect the device in the following ways: •...

Installing the device IMPORTANT: Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence. Installation prerequisites •...
Figure 5 Installation flowchart for the WX1810H-PWR access controller Mounting the device on a workbench CAUTION: • To avoid damaging the device and affecting heat dissipation, do not place heavy objects on the device. • Make sure the workbench is anti-static.
The installation procedure is similar for WX1800H series access controllers. This guide uses the WX1804H-PWR access controller as an example. To mount the device on an anti-static workbench: Place the device upside down on the workbench. Use a cloth to clean the recessed areas on the bottom.

Figure 8 Attaching the mounting brackets to the device Supporting the bottom of the device with one hand and holding the front of the device with the other, put the device in the rack. Use M6 screws and cage nuts to attach the mounting brackets to the front rack posts, as shown in Figure 9.
Connecting the grounding cable CAUTION: • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. To install and use the device, first connect the grounding cable reliably for the device. • Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod.

Figure 11 Grounding the device with a grounding strip Grounding the device through the rack—Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding terminal on the rack and make sure the rack has been reliably grounded. Only the WX1810H-PWR access controller supports this grounding method. Figure 12 Grounding the device through the rack...
(Optional) Installing network port lightning protectors IMPORTANT: • Before installing a network port lightning protector, read the instructions in the document that comes with the protector. • Network port lightning protectors are available only for 10M/100M/1000M RJ-45 Ethernet copper ports. •...
Figure 13 Installing a lightning protector for a network port (Optional) Installing a surge protected power strip IMPORTANT: Before installing a surge protected power strip, read the instructions in the document that comes with the strip. If you use an AC power line routed from outdoors for the device, use a surge protected power strip for the device to protect against damages caused by lightning strikes.
Figure 14 Connecting the device to the network Connecting the power cord CAUTION: Before connecting the power cord, make sure the local AC power source is reliably grounded. Connecting the power adapter for the WX1804H-PWR/WX1820H access controller If you use the local power source for the WX1804H-PWR/WX1820H access controller, use a power adapter to connect the device to the power source.
Connecting the power cord for the WX1810H-PWR access controller Make sure the device is reliably grounded. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the device. Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the AC power source. Observe the LEDs on the device to verify that the power cord is connected correctly.
