Installation site examination The WX5004 must be used indoors. You can mount the WX5004 in a cabinet or on a workbench. Make sure that: Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents for heat dissipation. The cabinet or workbench is in an environment with a good ventilation system.
Installing the access controller onto a 19-Inch rack This section describes how to install the access controller onto a 19-inch standard rack using front and rear mounting brackets. For the following installation methods, see H3C WX5004 Access Controller Installation Guide:...
This section provides procedures for grounding the access controller when a grounding strip is available. For grounding instructions when a grounding strip is unavailable, see the H3C WX5004 Access Controller Installation Guide. WARNING! The correct connection of the protection ground (PGND) wire of the access controller is an essential safeguard against lightning strikes and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) interference.
WARNING! The ground wire of the access controller should be connected to the grounding system in the equipment room. The fire main and lightning rod of a building are not good grounding options. Connecting the power cord WARNING! Make sure that the ground wire is properly connected before powering on the access controller. If the device is AC-powered, connect the device with an external AC power system through an AC power cord.
Connecting the console cable Select a terminal for configuration. The terminal can be a character terminal with a standard RS232 serial port or a PC. A PC is used in this example. Connect the console cable: Power off the access controller, connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial interface of the PC, and connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the access controller.
AC power strip and network interfaces have been correctly connected. For how to connect the lightning arresters for the AC power supply and network interfaces, see Appendixes A and B in the H3C WX5004 Installation Guide.
The prompt indicates that the system has entered user view and you can configure the access controller now. Installation of lightning arresters For the steps involved in installing lightning arresters, see the appendixes in the H3C WX5004 Access Controllers Installation Guide. Software maintenance For WX5004 software maintenance information, see H3C WX Access Controller Software Maintenance Guide.
