Installation Manual H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation 2.1 Safety Precautions To avoid any device impairment or bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules: Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power plug from the switch first. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.
Installation Manual H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates aging of insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life of your switch. For the detailed temperature/humidity requirements for the products, see section 1.5 System Features of the S5100 Series.
Installation Manual H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation and leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires). To eliminate the interferences, ensure the following: For the AC power supply that adopts TN system, use a single-phase three-wire power socket with Protection Earth (PE) to effectively filter interference from the power grid.
Otherwise, you will bear any consequence resulted from your actions without permission. 3.1 Rack-Mounting the Switch You can mount an H3C S5100 switch into a 19-inch standard rack in one of the following four ways: Use front mounting ears...
When the depth of a switch is greater than 300 mm (11.8 in.), the front mounting ears only secure the switch rather than bear its weight. Guide rails purchased from H3C apply only to standard racks 1,000 mm (39.4 in.) deep. Use other supports to substitute for guide rails in the case of other rack depths.
