Preparing for installation This document is applicable to H3C S9820-8C switch (BOM code: 0235A3HE, product code: LS-9820-8C). 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 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 switch. Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low.
Laser safety WARNING! Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments when the switch is operating. The switch is a Class 1M laser device. Installation tools No installation tools are provided with the switch.

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. CAUTION: When installing the switch, always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Then use screws to secure the mounting brackets to the rack. Rack requirements To mount the switch in a 19-inch rack, the rack must meet the requirements in Table2-2. Figure2-3 S9820-8C chassis dimensions 130.5 mm (5.14 in) 760 mm 50 mm (1.97 in) (29.92 in)
Installation accessories Table2-3 Installation accessories for rack-mounting the switch Item Quantity and requirements Mounting bracket (provided) 1 kit. See Figure2-4. You can purchase one or two cable management frames for the Cable management frame (optional) switch as required. See Figure2-5. 1 kit.
Figure2-6 Bottom support rails (1) Installation hole (2) Guide rail (3) Front end mark (FRONT) Attaching the mounting brackets to the chassis As shown in Figure2-7, the switch provides one installation position for mounting brackets. Figure2-7 Installation position for mounting brackets (1) Installation position for mounting brackets To attach the mounting brackets to the chassis: Place the wide side of a mounting bracket against its installation position on the chassis.
Attach the other mounting bracket to the other side of the chassis in the same way. Figure2-8 Attaching the mounting brackets to the switch Attaching cage nuts and bottom support rails to the rack Identify and mark the cage nut installation holes on the rack for securing mounting brackets and bottom support rails.
Mounting the switch in the rack This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack: Verify that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis. Verify that the bottom support rails and cage nuts have been correctly attached to the rack posts.
Figure2-11 Attaching a cable management frame to the front rack posts Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis As shown in Figure2-12, the switch provides one grounding point at the rear panel. Figure2-12 Grounding point (1) Grounding point To connect the grounding cable to the chassis: Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
Figure2-13 Attaching the grounding cable to the grounding point on the switch Grounding the switch WARNING! • Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. • Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod.
Figure2-14 Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip (1) Hex nut (2) Ring terminal (3) Grounding post (4) Grounding strip Installing/removing fan trays CAUTION: The switch has five fan tray slots. For adequate heat dissipation, follow these guidelines: • The switch is provided with the fan tray slots empty. Before powering on the switch, make sure it has five fan trays of the same model installed.
For more information about the command, see fan prefer-direction device management in H3C S9820-8C Switch Fundamentals Command Reference. To install a fan tray: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Figure2-16 Removing a FAN-80B-1-B fan tray Installing and removing power modules WARNING! • To avoid bodily injury or device damage, strictly follow the procedures in Figure2-17 Figure2-18 to install and remove a power module. • Provide a separate circuit breaker for each power module. CAUTION: Make sure each slot has a filler panel or module installed when the switch is operating.
Figure2-19 Removing a filler panel Unpack the power module and verify that the power module model is correct. Correctly orient the power module with the lettering on it upward. Grasping the power module handle with one hand and supporting the module bottom with the other, slide the power module slowly into the slot along the guide rails.
As shown in Figure2-21, use one hand to hold the power module handle, press the latch towards the handle, and then pull the power module part way out of the slot. Supporting the power module with the other hand, pull it completely out of the slot. Put the removed power module in an antistatic bag for future use.

Removing an interface module CAUTION: If you are not to install a new interface module after removing the original one, install a filler panel in the slot to prevent dust and ensure good ventilation. To remove an interface module: Prepare an anti-static bag. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Accessing the switch for the first time The following options are available for connecting the switch to a configuration terminal: • Use a serial console cable to connect the serial console port on the switch to a configuration terminal. • Use a mini USB console cable to connect the mini USB console port on the switch to a configuration terminal.
