Preparing for installation H3C WX3000H Series Access Controllers include the following models: • WX3010H. • WX3010H-X-PWR. • WX3010H-L-PWR. • WX3024H. • WX3024H-L-PWR. Safety recommendations General safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
Laser safety WARNING! • Do not stare into any open apertures of operating transceiver modules or optical fiber connectors. The laser light emitted from these apertures might hurt your eyes. • Before you remove the optical fiber connector from a fiber port, execute the shutdown command in interface view to shut down the port.
To eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, the equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides, as shown in Table1-3. Table1-3 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room Max. (mg/m 0.006 0.05 0.01 0.04 Cooling The device uses left to right airflow for heat dissipation. Plan the installation site for adequate ventilation.

Installation flow Figure2-1 Installation flow Mounting the device on a workbench CAUTION: Do not place heavy objects on the device. If a standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can mount the device on a clean, flat workbench.
To mount the device on a workbench: Place the device upside down. Clean the recessed areas in the chassis bottom. Attach the four rubber feet to the recessed areas in the chassis bottom. Place the device on the workbench with the upside up. Make sure the four rubber feet stand firmly on the workbench.

To install cage nuts: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the rack is stable and is reliably grounded.
For a device that uses rear mounting brackets or slide rails for installation, install two cage nuts on each rack posts, keeping 1U distance between the two cage nuts. Make sure the upper cage nuts on the four rack posts are on the same horizontal plane and the lower cage nuts are on the same horizontal plane.

Figure2-5 Attaching the front mounting brackets to the device Use M4 screws supplied with the rear mounting brackets to attach the rear mounting brackets to the device. Figure2-6 Attaching the rear mounting brackets to the device Use M6 rack screws and cage nuts to attach the slide rails to the rear rack posts.
Figure2-7 Attaching the slide rails to the rear rack posts Align the rear mounting brackets with the slide rails, slide the rear mounting brackets onto the slide rails, and push the device into the rack along the slide rails. Use M6 rack screws and cage nuts to secure the front mounting brackets to the front rack posts, as shown in Figure2-8.
Page 23
Use M4 screws supplied with the front mounting brackets to attach the front mounting brackets to the device. Figure2-9 Attaching the front mounting brackets to the device Attach the M4 shoulder screws supplied with the rear mounting brackets to the device. The M4 shoulder screws are used for weight bearing.
Push the device into the rack. Make sure the shoulder screws rest firmly on the upper edge of the slide rails so that the weight of the device can rest on the shoulder screws. Use M6 rack screws and cage nuts to secure the front mounting brackets to the front rack posts. Make sure the device is installed securely in the rack.
Figure2-13 Installing the device in the rack by using front mounting brackets (WX3010H) Grounding the device WARNING! • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. Before you install and use the device, make sure the device is reliably grounded. •...

Figure2-14 Grounding the device with a grounding strip Ground the device with the rack—Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding point on the rack and make sure the rack has been reliably grounded. Figure2-15 Grounding the device with the rack Grounding the device with a grounding conductor buried in the earth—If earth is available at the installation site, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth to serve as a grounding conductor.
Figure2-16 Grounding the device by burying the grounding conductor into the earth (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.
Figure2-17 Installing a lightning protector for a network port (WX3010H-X-PWR) (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.
The following are the required terminal settings: • Bits per second—9600. • Data bits—8. • Stop bits—1. • Parity—None. • Flow control—None. Connecting Ethernet cables Connecting a copper Ethernet port Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the copper Ethernet port of the device, and the other end to the Ethernet port of the peer device.
Figure2-18 Connecting an optical fiber Connecting the power cord CAUTION: Do not connect both AC and DC power sources to the same device.
