Preparing for installation The S6805 switch series includes the following models: Part No. Product code Product model 0235A3EU LS-6805-54HF S6805-54HF 0235A2EM LS-6805-54HT S6805-54HT Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
Temperature/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 cause problems including loose screws and circuit failure.
• 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 switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices. • Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary. •...

Select the primary or auxiliary grounding point as required. The following procedure connects the grounding cable to the primary grounding point (near the power supply side) on an S6805-54HF switch. To connect the grounding cable to a grounding point: Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws (applicable to both the primary and auxiliary grounding points).
Figure2-21 Installing the 1U long slide rails Mounting the switch in the rack The rack-mounting procedure is similar for the switches. The following procedure mounts an S6805-54HF switch in a rack. This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

• For information about lightning protection for the switch, see H3C Lightning Protection Guide. 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).
• Do not touch any bare wires and terminals on a fan tray. • Do not place a fan tray in a moist location or let liquid flow into it. • Contact H3C Support if the circuits or components on a fan tray are faulty. Do not remove any fan tray components.
To remove an LSPM1FANSA or LSPM1FANSB fan tray: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Grasp the fan tray handle and pull out the fan tray slowly along the guide rails. Place the removed fan tray in an antistatic bag.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Unpack the power supply and verify that the power supply model is correct. Correctly orient the power supply with the lettering on it upward. Grasp the handle of the power supply with one hand and support its bottom with the other, and slide the power supply slowly along the guide rails into the slot.

Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Remove the power cord. Hold the handle on the power supply with one hand, pivot the latch on the power supply to the right with your thumb, and pull the power supply part way out of the slot, as shown in Figure2-31.
Figure2-33 Removing the power cord from the power supply Hold the handle of the power supply with one hand, press the latch on the power supply to the right with your thumb, and simultaneously pull the power supply part way out of the slot. Supporting the power supply bottom with the other hand, slowly pull the power supply out of the slot along the guide rails.
Connecting the power cord for a PSR450-12A/PSR450-12A1 power supply Insert the female connector of the power cord supplied with the power supply into the power receptacle on the power supply. Use a releasable cable tie to secure the power cord to the handle of the power supply, as shown in Figure2-35.
Figure2-38 Connecting the power cord for a PSR450-12AHD power supply (3) Connecting the DC power cord for a PSR450-12D power supply Correctly orient the DC power cord connector and insert the connector into the power receptacle on the power supply. If you orient the DC power cord connector upside down, you cannot insert the connector into the power receptacle.
Verifying the installation After you complete the installation, verify the following items: • There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack is stable. • The grounding cable is securely connected. • The power source is as required by the switch. •...
Accessing the switch for the first time Setting up the configuration environment You can access the switch from the serial console port or the mini USB console port. As a best practice, use the serial console port to access the switch (the switch is provided with a serial console cable).
Connect the USB mini Type B connector to the Mini USB console port on the switch. Click http://www.h3c.com/en/home/USB_Console/, or copy it to the address bar on the browser to log in to download page of the USB console driver, and download the driver.

After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see H3C S6805&S6850&S9850 Switch Series Configuration Guides and H3C S6805&S6850&S9850 Switch Series Command References.
Setting up an IRF fabric You can use H3C IRF technology to connect and virtualize S6805 switches into a large virtual switch called an "IRF fabric" for flattened network topology, and high availability, scalability, and manageability. The switch can set up an IRF fabric only with switches from the same switch series.
"Connecting the power cord." Power on the switches. See IRF configuration in H3C S6805&S6850&S9850 Switch Series Configure basic IRF settings. Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide. Connect the physical IRF ports on switches by using QSFP28 transceiver modules and fibers, QSFP28 fiber cables, QSFP 28 copper cables, QSFP+ transceiver modules and fibers, QSFP+ fiber Connect the physical IRF ports.
IRF member switches will automatically elect a master. You can affect the election result by assigning a high member priority to the intended master switch. For more information about master election, see IRF configuration in H3C S6805&S6850&S9850 Switch Series Virtual Technologies Configuration Guide.
"Appendix C Ports and LEDs." The following subsections describe several H3C recommended IRF connection schemes by using QSFP28 transceiver modules and optical fibers, QSFP28 copper cables, and QSFP28 fiber cables. All these schemes use a ring topology.

The status LED on a power supply is not steady green (active state) or flashing green (standby state). You can use the status LED on a power supply to identify a power supply failure. For more information about the status LED on a power supply, see H3C PSR450 Power Module Series User Manual. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the power cord is correctly connected.
Stop bits—1. Parity—None. Flow control—None. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled display on the configuration terminal Symptom The configuration terminal displays garbled text when the switch is powered on. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the terminal parameter settings are correct: Baud rate—9600.

• As a best practice, use H3C transceiver modules and cables for the switch. • The H3C transceiver modules and cables are subject to change over time. For the most up-to-date list of H3C transceiver modules and cables, contact H3C Support or marketing staff.
IMPORTANT: • USB devices from different vendors vary in compatibility and driver. H3C does not guarantee correct operation of all USB devices on the switch. If a USB device fails to operate on the switch, replace it with one from another vendor.
