  • Page 8: Preparing For Installation

    Preparing for installation The H3C SecPath F100-C-A-W firewall series include the following models: • F100-C-A3-W • F100-C-A5-W • F100-C-A6-WL 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.
  • Page 9: Electrical Safety

    Symbol Description Keep the device from humidity, rains, and wet floor. • When stacking devices, place the heavier and larger ones at the bottom. Make sure the devices are stacked evenly. • Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the firewall free of obstruction.
  • Page 10: Temperature And Humidity

    Temperature and humidity Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room. • 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 bring problems including loose captive screws and circuit failure.
  • Page 11: Esd Prevention

    ESD prevention ESD prevention guidelines To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines: • Make sure the firewall, the workbench, and the rack are reliably grounded. • Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. For more information, see "Cleanliness." • Maintain the humidity and temperature at an acceptable level.
  • Page 12: Lightning Protection

    To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines: • If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid. • Keep the firewall far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices.

  • Page 14 Item Requirements Result • Keep the firewall far away from radio stations, radar and high-frequency devices working in high current. • Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. • The grounding cable of the chassis is reliably grounded. Lightning • The grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is protection reliably grounded.
  • Page 15: Installing The Firewall

    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. The installation procedure is the same for the H3C SecPath F100-C-A-W series firewalls. This document uses the F100-C-A6-WL firewall as an example.
  • Page 16: Mounting The Firewall On A Workbench

    Mounting the firewall on a workbench IMPORTANT: • Ensure good ventilation and a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the chassis for heat dissipation. • Avoid placing heavy objects on the firewall. If a standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can place the firewall on a workbench. To mount the firewall on a workbench: Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.
  • Page 17 Install cage nuts. Figure1-5 Installing cage nuts Use the provided M4 mounting bracket screws to secure the mounting brackets to both sides of the firewall. Figure1-6 Securing mounting brackets to the firewall Mount the firewall in the rack. Use M6 rack screws to secure the mounting brackets to the front rack posts.
  • Page 18: Mount The Firewall On A Wall

    Figure1-7 Mounting the firewall in the rack Mount the firewall on a wall Unpack the firewall and accessories. Mark two installation holes spaced 102 mm (4.02 in) apart on the wall. Drill holes with a diameter of 6 mm (0.24 in) and a depth of 22 mm (0.87 in) at the marked locations.
  • Page 19: Grounding The Firewall

    Figure1-8 Mounting the firewall on a wall Grounding the firewall WARNING! • Correctly connecting the firewall grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. • Do not connect the firewall grounding cable to a fire main or lightning rod. If you mount the firewall on a wall, connect the firewall to the grounding facility of the building.
  • Page 20: Grounding The Firewall With The Grounding Terminal On The Rack

    Figure1-9 Grounding the firewall with a grounding strip Grounding the firewall with the grounding terminal on the rack Remove the grounding screw from the firewall chassis. Attach the grounding screw to the ring terminal of the grounding cable. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding hole on the firewall. Remove the grounding screw from the grounding point on the rack.
  • Page 21: Installing Optional Components

    Installing optional components (Optional) Installing a SIM card CAUTION: • Before installing or removing a SIM card, make sure the firewall is powered off. • Do not touch the components on the SIM card. • To avoid damaging the SIM card slot, do not use excessive force when installing a SIM card. Only the F100-C-A6-WL supports SIM cards.
  • Page 22: (Optional) Installing A Lightning Arrester For An Ac Power Module

    (Optional) Installing a lightning arrester for an AC power module No lightning arrester is provided with the firewall. Purchase one as needed. If part of the AC power cord is routed outdoors, install a lightning arrester to the power input end to protect the firewall from being damaged by lightning strikes.
  • Page 23: Connecting Ethernet Cables

    4G antenna in a location where the 4G signal is strong. No extension cable is provided with the firewall. Purchase one as required. To avoid extension cable incompatibility with the firewall, contact the H3C sales personnel or sales agents for compatible extension cables.
  • Page 24: Connecting An Ac Power Cord

    Connecting an AC power cord CAUTION: Make sure the grounding cable of the firewall is correctly connected and the power source is powered off before connecting the power cord. To connect an AC power cord: Attach the hooks of the power cord retainer clip into the holes on the top of the AC-input power receptacle, and pull the power cord retainer clip upwards.
  • Page 25: Accessing The Firewall

    Accessing the firewall By default, the firewall uses the scheme access authentication mode. The username and password are both admin. Setting up the configuration environment and configuring terminal parameters You can connect the console port on the firewall to a configuration terminal (a PC for example) for accessing the firewall for the first time.
