Preparing for installation This document provides an installation guide for the following switch series: • S1850-X switch series • S1850V2-X switch series • S1850V2-EI switch series Table1-1 describes the switch models that each switch series includes. Table1-1 Switch series and models Switch series Model Product code (PID)
Safety recommendations To avoid equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. • Before cleaning the switch, remove all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.

High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch. For the temperature and humidity requirements of the switch, see technical specifications in H3C S1850-X & S1850V2-X & S1850V2-EI Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications. CAUTION: Ground the switch correctly and verify the grounding.
Item Requirements stations, and high-frequency devices. • Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary. Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in poor contact of metal connectors and contact points. This might shorten the device's lifetime and even cause device failure in the worst case.
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: •...
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 H3C S1850-X & S1850V2-X & 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...

Figure2-3 Attaching mounting bracket A (S1850-52X switch) Figure2-4 Attaching mounting bracket B (S1850V2-10P-PWR-EI switch) Figure2-5 Attaching mounting bracket C (S1850V2-10P-EI switch) Rack-mounting the switch This task requires two people. 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.
Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded. 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.
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: •...
Connecting the DC power cord for the fixed DC power supply CAUTION: To connect to an H3C recommended RPS, use a power cord compatible with the RPS. To connect the DC power cord for the fixed DC power supply: Correctly orient the DC power cord connector and insert the connector into the power receptacle on the power supply, as shown by callout 1 in Figure2-17.
Figure2-17 Connecting the DC power cord for the fixed DC power supply (S1850-52X-PWR switch) 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.
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. By default, all ports on the switch belong to VLAN 1. Configure an IP address in subnet 192.168.0.0/24 for the PC. Make sure the PC and the switch are reachable to each other.
Verify that the operating temperature of the switch is in the acceptable range, and the power supply has good ventilation. Overtemperature can cause the power supply to stop working and enter protection state. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support. Input failure on an RPS-powered switch Symptom The system status LED or the RPS status LED on the RPS-powered switch is off.
Verify that the RPS is operating correctly. 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. 4-21...
