Quick Start Chapter 2 Installation H3C S3100-SI Series Ethernet Switches Preparation Chapter 2 Installation Preparation 2.1 Precautions To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury because of improper use, please take the following precautions: Before cleaning the switch, pull out the power plug of the switch.
H3C S3100-SI Series Ethernet Switches Preparation 2.2 Requirements on Environment S3100-SI series must be used indoors. When you install your switch in a cabinet or install it directly on a workbench, you must ensure: Enough space is left near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the switch for the heat dissipation of the switch chassis.

2.2.4 Laser Usage Security S3100-SI series are category-1 laser equipment. When an optional optical interface card of the S3100-SI series is operating, it is prohibited to stare into the optical interface because the laser beam emitted from the optical fiber takes high energy and may hurt your retina.
Chapter 3 Installation Caution: On a mounting screw of the chassis of any H3C Series Switches, there is a seal which must be kept intact before the agent maintains the switch for you. You must get the permission of your local agent before you can open the chassis.
Page 37
Quick Start H3C S3100-SI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Installation Step 2: Place the switch on a shelf of the cabinet, and slide the switch into the cabinet along the guides in the cabinet to an appropriate position. Step 3: Insert screws through the mount ears into the front mounting posts of the cabinet and tighten them, ensuring the switch is fixed steadily in the cabinet.
A clearance of about 10 cm is reserved around the switch for heat dissipation. No heavy object is placed on the switch. The S3100-SI series are designed with no fan. Therefore, you should install them in a drafty environment, and keep at least 1.5 cm vertical distances between the neighboring devices if you need to stack the switches one upon another.
