  • Page 21: Preparing For Installation

    Preparing for Installation Safety Precautions To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules: Pull the power plug(s) out of the device before cleaning the device. Do not clean the device using wet cloth or liquid. Keep the device away from water or dampness.
  • Page 22: Cleanliness

    Table 2-1 Working environment Item Specification Temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) Relative humidity 10% to 95% (noncondensing) Cleanliness Dust is hazardous to the operating safety of the device. Dust buildup on the chassis may result in static adsorption, causing poor contact of metal connectors or metal contact points. When the relative indoor humidity is low, especially, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen.
  • Page 23: Emi Prevention

    Make sure that the device and the floor are well grounded. Keep the equipment room clean. Keep proper temperature and humidity conditions. When touching a circuit board, always wear ESD-preventive gloves or an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and wear antistatic work clothes. When mounting, removing, observing, or moving an interface module, always take the printed circuit board (PCB) by the edges without touching the components on the PCB.
  • Page 24: Laser Safety

    Use a TN system for the system earthing of the AC power supply, and use a single-phase three-wire AC socket with a protection earth (PE) to effectively filter interference from the power grid. Keep the device away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and high-frequency heavy-current devices.
  • Page 25: Installing The Device

    Installing the Device When you ask your sales agent to maintain your device, make sure that the dismantlement-preventive seal of H3C on a mounting screw of the device chassis is intact. If you want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you will bear any consequence resulting from your actions.

  • Page 57: Application Files

    Application Files The WX3000 series supports the Dual Image function. By default, the system defines three application files for system boot: Main application file (referred to as main file) Backup application file (referred to as backup file) Secure application file (referred to as secure file) These three application files are stored in the flash memory, with the file name extension of .bin.
  • Page 58: Web Files

    The length of a configuration file name must not exceed 64 characters (including the drive identifier and the string terminator). For example, if the drive identifier is flash: /, the maximum length of a file name is [ 64 – 1 – 5 ] = 58 characters. If the length of a file name exceeds 58 characters, operations on that file will fail.

    Appendix B Installation of Lightning Arrester for Network Interfaces You can install a lightning arrester only for the 10M/100M electrical Ethernet interfaces supporting RJ-45 connectors. No lightning arrester for network interface is supplied with the switch. If an outdoor network cable should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for the network interface before you plug this cable into the switch, thus to prevent possible damages to the switch due to lightning strike.
  • Page 93 Figure B-1 Installation of a lightning arrester for network interface Precautions To ensure performance of the lightning arrester for network interface during installation, observe the following rules: Properly connect the lightning arrester for network interface, with IN connecting to the lightning arrester while OUT connecting to the network interface of the switch.

If an outdoor AC power cable should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for AC power (lightning protection grounding strip) before you plug AC power cable into the switch, thus to prevent possible damages to the switch due to lightning strike.
  • Page 96 If the multimeter displays that the left wire is the zero wire and the right is the live wire, it means that the PE terminal of the arrester is not well grounded. Otherwise, it means that the power receptacle of the arrester is set to the reverse polarity. In this case, open the power receptacle of the arrester and correct the polarity.
