Preparing for installation The H3C SecPath F10X0 firewall series include the following models: • F1005 • F1010 • F1020 • F1030 • F1050 • F1060 • F1070 • F1080 • F1090 Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
Figure1-1 Packing symbols Symbol Description Stored with a maximum stack of n units. Transported and stored with the arrows up. Transported and stored with care. Transported and stored avoiding humidity, rains and wet floor. Electrical safety • Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
• Before you move the firewall, remove all cables and mounting brackets. • For long-distance transportation, remove all removable components, such as power modules and interface modules, and package them separately, and install the filler panels supplied with the firewall. For short-distance transportation, make sure all removable components are securely seated in the slots and the screws are fastened.
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m NOTE: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table1-3. Table1-3 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room Max.
• Maintain the humidity and temperature at an acceptable level. For more information, see "Temperature and humidity." • Put the removed interface modules away on an ESD workbench, with the PCB upward, or put them in ESD bags for future use. •...

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 firewall view varies by model. The following figures are for illustration only. This document uses an F1080 firewall as an example.
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. Place the firewall upside down on the workbench and clean the four round holes in the chassis bottom with a dry cloth.
Page 19
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Unpack the firewall and accessories. Mark the cage nut installation positions on the rack posts by using the mounting brackets. Use a front mounting bracket to mark the positions on the front rack posts and use a rear mounting bracket to mark the positions on the rear rack posts.

Figure2-9 Attaching the front mounting brackets to the firewall Mount the firewall in the rack. Use M6 screws to secure the mounting brackets to the front rack posts.
Figure2-10 Mounting the firewall in the rack 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. You can ground the firewall in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions available at the installation site.
Figure2-11 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.
Remove the filler panel (if any) from the target power module slot. Figure2-13 Removing the filler panel from an F1070 or F1080 firewall The firewall comes with the PWR1 slot empty and the PWR0 slot installed with a filler panel. Orient the power module with its handle at the left.
The firewall comes with the PWR1 slot empty and the PWR0 slot installed with a filler panel. Orient the power module with its handle at the right. Holding the handle of the module with one hand and supporting the module bottom with the other, slide the power module slowly into the slot along the guide rails.
The device does not come with any drives and cannot recognize drives from other vendors. Purchase drives from H3C as needed. To install a drive: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
The firewall supports GE SFP transceiver modules and 10GE SFP+ transceiver modules. For the transceiver module specifications, see "GE fiber Ethernet port" and "10 GE fiber Ethernet port." No transceiver module is provided with the firewall. As a best practice, use H3C transceiver modules.
Figure2-21 10GE SFP+ transceiver module To connect the firewall to the network through an optical fiber: Remove the dust plug from the fiber port. Remove the dust cap from the transceiver module and insert it into the fiber port. Remove the dust cap of the optical fiber connector, and use dust free paper and absolute alcohol clean the end face of the fiber connector.
Connecting an AC power cord Connecting an AC power cord for an F1005 or F1010 firewall 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. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC-input power receptacle on the firewall.

Figure2-25 Connecting an AC power cord (using a cable tie to secure the power cord) Connecting an AC power cord for an F1070 or F1080 firewall Connect the connector of the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the rear panel of the chassis.
Figure2-28 Connecting an AC power cord for an F1090 firewall Connecting a DC power cord Connecting a DC power cord for an F1070, F1080, or F1090 firewall Correctly orient the DC power cord connector with the power receptacle on the power module, and insert the connector into the receptacle.

• There is enough space for heat dissipation around the firewall. • The firewall and its components are installed securely. The screws are fastened tightly. • The power source specifications are as required by the firewall. • The grounding cable and power cords are connected correctly.
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 CAUTION: • When you connect the console cable, identify the port marks and make sure you are connecting the correct ports.
