  • Page 23: Installation Preparations

    Installation Preparations Safety Precautions To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules: Before cleaning the switch, plug out the power cord of the power module of the switch first. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid. Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment.
  • Page 24: Cleanness

    Cleanness Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your device. The dust accumulated on the chassis can be adsorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal connectors or metal contact points. Especially when the indoor relative humidity is low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. This can not only shorten the service life of your device but also cause communications failures.
  • Page 25: Installation Tools

    When an optional interface module or SFP/SFP+ module on the S5810 series is operating, do not stare into the optical port because the laser light emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes. Installation Tools Flat-blade screwdriver Phillips screwdriver ESD-preventive wrist strap The installation tools are not shipped with the S5810 series.
  • Page 26: Installing A Switch

    Installing a Switch On a mounting screw of the chassis of the H3C series switches, there is a seal labeled with H3C. You need to keep it intact before asking the agent to maintain the switch. You need to get the permission of the local agent before you can open the chassis.

  • Page 29: Mounting The Switch On A Workbench

    Mounting the Switch on a Workbench In many cases, standard 19-inch cabinets are not available. Therefore, switches are often placed on clean workbenches. To place the switch on a workbench, follow these steps: Step1 Place the switch with bottom up carefully, and then clean the round holes on the chassis bottom with dry cloth.

  • Page 31: Where A Grounding Conductor Can Be Buried

    The fire main and lightning rod of a building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The ground wire of the switch should be connected to the grounding device for the equipment room. Where a Grounding Conductor Can be Buried When there is no grounding strip, but an area with exposed earth is available nearby where a grounding conductor can be buried, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft.) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth.

  • Page 33: Installing A Power Module

    Use the PGND cable provided with the switch to connect the grounding strip in the equipment room. Otherwise, the grounding effect may not be ensured, which easily causes damage to the switch. Installing a Power Module The S5810 series provides two power module slots on its rear panel. Hot swappable power module slot 1 is empty when the switch is shipped, and hot swappable power module 2 is installed with a filler panel.
  • Page 34: Removing The Power Module

    Figure 3-14 Install other power module models to the switch To prevent damage to the power module or the connector on the backplane of the powered device, insert the power module gently.

    The S5810 series use hot swappable fan trays. When a fan tray failure occurs, you can follow these steps to replace the fan tray. Removing a Fan Tray You can replace a hot swappable fan tray without powering off the device. To prevent overheat, you are recommended to complete replacing the fan tray within two minutes.
  • Page 69: Installing A Fan Tray

    To replace a fan tray, pull out the fan tray after it stops rotating. Keep your hands away from fan blades even if the fan stops rotating; otherwise, the dynamic balance of the fan may be broken, and thus the fan noise will be increased.

    Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) Lightning arrester will not be shipped with the switch. You should purchase it by yourself if needed. If an outdoor AC power cord should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for AC power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) before you plug AC power cord into the switch, thus to prevent the possible damage to the switch due to lightning strike.
  • Page 73 Make sure that the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power. After inserting AC power cord plug of switch into the socket of lightning arrester, if the green LED is on and the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the function of lightning protection has taken effect.
