Preparing for installation 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. General safety recommendations • Do not place the device on an unstable case or desk. The device might be severely damaged in case of a fall.
Temperature and humidity Maintain the temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable levels. • Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion. Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and cause problems including •...
Cooling Leave a minimum of 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance around the device. • • A good ventilation system is available at the installation site. ESD prevention The device might be damaged by the following Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sources: Outdoor environment—For example, high-voltage power line and lightning.

Mounting the device on a workbench IMPORTANT: Do not place heavy objects on the device. To mount the device on a workbench: Place the device with bottom up and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
Figure 3 Attaching the ring terminal to the grounding cable Connecting the grounding cable to the device Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of chassis. Use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the chassis. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip.
The configuration terminal can be an ASCII terminal with an RS232 serial port or a PC. The description in this section assumes that you use a PC as the configuration terminal. Connect the console cable: Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC. Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the device.

Verify that the power source specifications are as required. Verify that the power cord is securely connected to the device. Verify that the power cord is in good condition. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support. No display or garbled display on the configuration terminal The configuration terminal has no display or displays garbled text after the device is powered on.
If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration • without authentication and configure new passwords. If password recovery capability is disabled, a console user must restore the factory-default • configuration before configuring new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the main and backup next-startup configuration files.
