  • Page 12: Emi

    • Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. For more information, see "Cleanliness." • 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.
  • Page 13: Lightning Protection

    • Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary. • To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes, route interface cables only indoors. If part of the network cable of an Ethernet port must be routed outdoors, connect a lightning arrester to the cable before you plug the cable into the port.

    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 can be installed on a workbench or in a 19-inch rack.
  • Page 17: Mounting The Firewall On A Workbench

    The figures in this section are for illustration only. Your firewall might be slightly different from that in the figure. 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.
  • Page 18: Installing The Firewall In A Standard 19-Inch Rack

    Installing the firewall in a standard 19-inch rack WARNING! To avoid bodily injury and device damage, use a minimum of two persons to rack-mount the firewall. CAUTION: • For adequate heat dissipation, ensure a minimum clearance of 80 mm (3.15 in) around the air inlet and outlet vents of the chassis and a distance of 1U (44.45 mm, or 1.75 in) between the chassis and other devices in the rack.

    Grounding the firewall with a grounding strip If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable through the grounding strip. To connect the grounding cable: 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.
  • Page 22: Installing Power Supplies

    Figure2-10 Grounding the firewall with the grounding terminal on the rack Installing power supplies CAUTION: • Make sure power is disconnected and the grounding cable is correctly connected before installation. • Do not install both AC and DC power supplies on the same firewall. Only the F1000-C-G3, F1000-S-G3, F1000-A-G3, and F1000-E-G3 firewalls support removable power supplies.
  • Page 23: Installing An Interface Module

    Orient the power supply with its handle at the left. Holding the handle of the module with one hand and supporting the module bottom with the other, slide the power supply slowly into the slot along the guide rails. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the captive screws on the power supply to secure the power supply in place.
  • Page 24: Installing A Drive

    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.
  • Page 25: Connecting A Fiber Port

    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.
  • Page 26: Connecting Power Cords

    Figure2-17 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.

    Hardware replacement CAUTION: Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves for hardware maintenance. They are not provided with the firewall. Prepare them yourself. Replacing a power supply CAUTION: Before you replace a power supply, turn off the circuit breaker and remove the power cord. This section applies only to the F1000-C-G3, F1000-S-G3, F1000-A-G3, and F1000-E-G3 firewalls that support removable power supplies.
  • Page 36: Replacing An Interface Module

    Replacing an interface module CAUTION: • Interface modules are not hot swappable. Power off the firewall before you replace an interface module. • To install two or more interface modules, use the upper interface module slots as a best practice. If you have installed an interface module in a lower slot, you must press down the ejector levers of the interface module while inserting it into an upper slot.
  • Page 37: Replacing A Transceiver Module

    Install a new drive. For the installation procedure, see "Installing a ." Figure4-3 Removing a drive Replacing a transceiver module 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 firewall is operating. When you replace a transceiver module, make sure the two transceiver modules connected by the same optical fiber are the same type.

Every wire uses a different color, and has a diameter of about 1 mm (0.04 in).

EIA/TIA cabling specifications define two standards, 568A and 568B, for cable pinouts. • Standard 568A—pin 1: white/green stripe, pin 2: green solid, pin 3: white/orange stripe, pin 4: blue solid, pin 5: white/blue stripe, pin 6: orange solid, pin 7: white/brown stripe, pin 8: brown solid.
