Preparing for installation The H3C S9820-8C switch is a high-density intelligent 100G/400G switch developed for data centers, providing powerful hardware forwarding capacity and abundant data center features. This document is applicable to H3C S9820-8C switch (product code: LS-9820-8C). Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety recommendations before installation.
• High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch. For information about the temperature and humidity requirements, see H3C S9820-8C Ethernet Switch Hardware Information and Specifications. Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in poor contact of metal connectors and contact points.
CAUTION: As a best practice, control the corrosive gas concentrations in the equipment room at their average values. Make sure the corrosive gas concentrations do not exceed 30 minutes per day at their maximum values. To control corrosive gases, use the following guidelines: •...
Installation tools No installation tools are provided with the switch. Prepare the following tools yourself: • Phillips screwdriver. • ESD wrist strap. • Marker. Installation accessories Before installation, make sure you have all the required installation accessories. If an accessory is damaged or lost, use its BOM code to purchase a new one.

BOM code Description Quantity Power module filler panel 2114A0CK 2 (provided) Releasable cable tie As required (user supplied) Console cable 04042967 Optional USB-to-RJ45 console cable 0404A1EE Optional Mini USB console cable User supplied SFP port dust plug 14990101 1 (provided)
Installing the switch 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 caused thereby. CAUTION: When installing the switch, always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
Then use screws to secure the mounting brackets to the rack. Rack requirements To mount the switch in a 19-inch rack, the rack must meet the requirements in Table2-2. Figure2-3 S9820-8C chassis dimensions 130.5 mm (5.14 in) 760 mm 50 mm (1.97 in) (29.92 in)
Installation accessories Table2-3 Installation accessories for rack-mounting the switch Item Quantity and requirements 1 kit. See Figure2-4. The mounting bracket with a round hole in the Mounting bracket (provided) narrow flange supports hanging a fixed asset tag. You can purchase one or two cable management frames for the Cable management frame (optional) switch as required.
Figure2-6 Bottom support rails (1) Installation hole (2) Guide rail (3) Front end mark (FRONT) Attaching the mounting brackets to the chassis As shown in Figure2-7, the switch provides one installation position for mounting brackets. Figure2-7 Installation position for mounting brackets (1) Installation position for mounting brackets To attach the mounting brackets to the chassis: Place the wide side of a mounting bracket against its installation position on the chassis.
Attach the other mounting bracket to the other side of the chassis in the same way. Figure2-8 Attaching the mounting brackets to the switch Attaching cage nuts and bottom support rails to the rack Identify and mark the cage nut installation holes on the rack for securing mounting brackets and bottom support rails.
Mounting the switch in the rack This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack: Verify that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis. Verify that the bottom support rails and cage nuts have been correctly attached to the rack posts.
Use M5 grounding screws to attach a grounding cable that has a two-hole grounding lug or single-hole grounding lug to the grounding point on the switch. If the grounding cable length or terminal type cannot meet your requirement, make an applicable grounding cable or contact H3C Support.
Use grounding screws to attach the two-hole grounding lug or single-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the grounding point, and then fasten the screws. As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the grounding screws. Figure2-13 Attaching the grounding cable that has a single-hole grounding lug to the grounding point on the switch Figure2-14 Attaching the grounding cable that has a two-hole grounding lug to the...
To ground the switch by using a grounding strip: Attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the grounding point on the chassis. For more information, see "Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis." Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip. Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding post on the grounding strip, and secure the ring terminal to the grounding post with the hex nut.
H3C S9820-8C Switch Fundamentals Command Reference. Select appropriate fan trays as needed. For the optional fan trays and their specifications, see H3C S9820-8C Ethernet Switch Hardware Information and Specifications. The switch supports shipping with fan trays and power modules installed. If your switch came with fan trays preinstalled, skip this section.
The switch supports 2+1 and 2+2 power module redundancy. You can install two to four power modules for the switch as needed. For information about the power modules available for the switch, see H3C S9820-8C Ethernet Switch Hardware Information and Specifications. Figure2-18 Power module installation procedure...
To install a power module: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Remove the filler panel, if any, from the target power module slot, as shown in Figure2-20. Figure2-20 Removing a filler panel Unpack the power module and verify that the power module model is correct.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Remove the power cord from the power module. As shown in Figure2-22, use one hand to hold the power module handle, press the latch towards the handle, and then pull the power module part way out of the slot.
The switch provides eight interface module slots. For the interface modules available for the switch and the interface module specifications, see H3C S9820-8C Ethernet Switch Hardware Information and Specifications. The following installation and removal procedures use an LSWM116H interface module as an example.
Page 26
Figure2-24 Removing the filler panel from the interface module slot Keep the removed filler panel secure for future use. Unpack the interface module. Press down and hold the latch of the ejector lever to pull the ejector lever out. Figure2-25 LSWM116H interface module (1) Latch (2) Ejector lever Insert the module slowly into the slot along the guide rails, as shown by callout 1 in Figure2-26.
Removing an interface module CAUTION: If you are not to install a new interface module after removing the original one, install a filler panel in the slot to prevent dust and ensure good ventilation. To remove an interface module: Prepare an anti-static bag. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
The signal pinout for the RJ-45 connector of a serial console cable varies by vendor. To avoid abnormal configuration terminal display, use a serial console cable provided by H3C. For more information, see Table3-2. To prepare a serial console cable yourself, make sure the signal pinout for the RJ-45 connector is the same as that shown in Table3-3.

After the startup completes, you can access the CLI to configure the switch. For more information about the configuration commands and CLI, see H3C S9820-8C Switch Configuration Guides and H3C S9820-8C Switch Command References.
Power module failure Symptom The status LED on a power module is not steady green (active state) or flashing green (standby state) For more information about the power module LED, see H3C PSR1600B-12A-B Power Modules User Manual. Solution To resolve the issue: Verify that the power cord is connected correctly.
Verify that the power system is operating correctly. Verify that the console cable is connected correctly. Verify that the console cable does not have any problems and the terminal settings are correct. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Garbled output Symptom The output of the configuration terminal is garbled.
