Examining the installation environment To ensure correct operation of your switch, make sure the installation environment meets the requirements listed in Table1-2. Table1-2 Checking list for the installation environment Item Requirements CAUTION: To ensure correct operation of your device, make sure the installation environment is adequately ventilated to prevent the switch from overheating.
Item Requirements corresponding network interface. • Keep the signal cables far from power cords and lightning rod down conductors. • As a best practice, route power cords indoors. If an AC power cord is routed from outdoors, connect the AC power cord first to a power lightning arrester before leading it to the AC power port on the switch.
• Use double-layer glass in windows and seal doors and windows with dust-proof rubber strips. Use screen doors and window screens for doors and windows open to the outside and make sure the external windows are air tight. • Use dustproof materials for floors, walls, and ceilings and use wallpaper or matt paint that does not produce powders.
Examining the installation site Before you install the switch, verify that the installation site meets the installation requirements. The switch can operate correctly in an A1 or A2 installation site. Availability issues might occur if you install the switch in an A3, B1, B2, or C installation site. Table1-5 Installation sites Category Definition...
Checking power distribution or power supply environment Table1-7 Requirements for power distribution or power supply environment Item Requirements Preparation The power supply must be available before you install the switch. The voltage provided to the switch must be within the operating voltage range. Voltage For the operating voltage range, see S1850V2-EI Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications.
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. Figure2-1 Hardware installation flow Start...

To mount the switch in the rack: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Verify that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis.
One person holds the switch chassis and aligns the mounting brackets with the mounting holes in the rack posts, and the other person attaches the mounting brackets to the rack with M6 screws. M6 screws are provided only for switches shipped with mounting brackets. For switches not shipped with mounting brackets, prepare M6 screws yourself.
Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench. Mounting the switch on a wall CAUTION: •...
WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection, ESD, and EMI protection. For information about lightning protection, see H3C Network Devices Lightning Protection Guide. To protect against the following types of issues, use a grounding cable to connect the switch to the earthing facility at the installation site: •...
NOTE: The chassis views and power supply and grounding terminal positions in the following figures are for illustration only. Grounding the switch with a grounding strip WARNING! Connect the grounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod.

10Ω. For locations with high soil resistivity, sprinkle some resistance reducer to reduce soil resistivity or replace soil around the grounding strip with soil with lower resistance. For information about resistance measurement, see H3C Network Devices Lightning Protection Guide. Connecting the power cord CAUTION: •...
Figure2-15 Connecting the AC power cord for the fixed AC power supply Figure2-16 Securing the AC power cord for the fixed AC power supply through a cable tie Verifying the installation After you complete the installation, verify that: • There is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch, and the rack or workbench is stable.
Accessing the Web GUI by using the default username and password The default Web login information is as follows: • Username—admin • Password—admin • IP address of VLAN-interface 1—192.168.0.233/24 To access the Web GUI by using the default username and password: Use a twisted pair cable to connect a PC to an Ethernet port on the switch.
Over-temperature can cause the power supply to stop working and enter protection state. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Fan tray failure Symptom The system status LED on the switch indicates a fan tray failure. Solution When a fan tray issue occurs, contact H3C Support. 4-18...
