Preparing for installation The H3C S6890 Switch Series includes the following models: • S6890-54HF • S6890-30HF • S6890-44HF Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
• Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion. • Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems including loose mounting screws and circuit failure. •...
Laser safety WARNING! • The switch is a Class 1 laser device. • Do not stare into any disconnected fiber port or optical fiber. The laser light emitted from the fiber port or optical fiber might hurt your eyes. Installation accessories Before installation, make sure you have all the required installation accessories.
Installing the switch CAUTION: 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 caused thereby. Installation flowchart...
Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack Installation accessories Table 4 Installation accessories Switch Mounting brackets Slide rails and chassis rails model (provided) • 1U high, one pair of long slide rails and one pair of S6890-54HF chassis rails (provided). See Figure S6890-30HF 1U high, one pair.
Rack-mounting procedures at a glance Figure 5 Rack-mounting procedure NOTE: If a rack shelf is available, you can put the switch on the rack shelf and slide the switch to a position so that the mounting brackets make close contact with the front rack posts. Then use screws to secure the mounting brackets to the rack.

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis IMPORTANT: M4 screws are used for attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis. As a best practice, use a torque of 12 kgf-cm (1.18 Nm) to fasten the M4 screws. To attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis: Place the wide flange of the mounting bracket against the chassis side panel.
Figure 10 Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to an S6890-54HF switch (network port-side mounting position for the mounting brackets) Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis CAUTION: The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are located on the left panel of the chassis.
To attach the slide rails to the rack: Identify the slide rail installation position in the rack. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts. Align the screw holes in a slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear rack post, and use M6 screws (user-supplied) to attach the slide rail to the post, as shown in Figure As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws.

Grounding the switch CAUTION: • Correctly connecting the grounding cable for the switch is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. • As a best practice to guarantee the grounding effect, connect the grounding cable provided with the switch to the grounding strip in the equipment room. 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).
Installing and removing fan trays CAUTION: To ensure good ventilation of the switch, follow these guidelines to install and remove fan trays: • The switch comes with the fan tray slots empty. Before powering on the switch, make sure all fan tray slots have fan trays installed and the fan trays are the same model.
Removing a fan tray WARNING! • Ensure electricity safety and never touch the rotating fans when you hot-swap a fan tray. • To prevent a fan from causing loud noise, do not touch the fan blades and rotation axis, even if the fan is not rotating.
Figure 19 Power supply removal procedure Installing a power supply The installation procedure is the same for the power supplies. The following procedure installs an LSVM1AC650 power supply in an S6890-54HF switch. To install a power supply: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Remove the filler panel, if any, from the target power supply slot, as shown in Figure Figure 20 Removing a filler panel from an S6890-54HF switch...
Removing a power supply CAUTION: If the switch has two power supplies in 1+1 redundancy mode, removing one power supply does not affect the operation of the switch. If the switch has only one power supply installed, removing the power supply powers off the switch. The removal procedure is the same for the power supplies.
