1 Overview
The Open Application Platform (OAP) cards are developed based on the Open Application Architecture
(OAA) by New H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C).
An OAP card has an independent CPU and memory card (CF card), and thus it can load various service
software. After you install an OAP card in a switch, the switch can provide security, management, and
wireless communication applications flexibly and rapidly besides basic data forwarding functions. In this
way, multiple kinds of applications are implemented on the same device, therefore facilitating network
and service deployment and reducing overall cost at the same time.
The firewall card, IPS card and access controller module are three types of OAP cards. Refer to Table
1-1 for d
etailed information.
Table 1-1 Introduction to the firewall card, IPS card, and access controller module
Model Name Functions
LSWM1FW10 Firewall card
Besides the traditional firewall functions, a firewall card
supports virtual firewall, security zone, attack defense, and
P2P flow control, thus effectively ensuring network security;
supports multiple VPN services, such as IPsec VPN, thus
allowing you to build various VPNs; supports multiple routing
protocols, such as RIP, OSPF and BGP, thus providing
abundant routing capabilities. Using a firewall card, a switch
can implement security functions, such as firewall and VPN, to
ensure network security.
LSWM1IPS10 IPS card
The IPS card is an intrusion prevention/detection system with
industry-leading comprehensive intrusion prevention
technology, integrating intrusion prevention/detection, virus
filtering and bandwidth management functions. It can perform
a seven-layer analysis and detection to block in real time
attacks such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, and
webpage tampering activities, thus implementing overall
protection of the basic network infrastructure, network
application and network performance.
LSWM1WCM10
Access
controller
module
An access controller (AC) module can provide large-scale
access point (AP) management and user access services,
support wireless standards including 802.11a/b/g, 802.11n,
802.11i, 802.11e and 802.11h, and provide perfect security,
QoS, roaming, and RF management mechanisms.

2 Hardware of the OAP Card
The firewall card, IPS card and access controller module are similar in hardware structure and
appearance, except that the product model marked on the front panel and the loaded software of the
cards are different. The following hardware introduction is made on a firewall card.

Management Ethernet Port
The front panel of an OAP card provides one management Ethernet port, which can work without being
affected by the working status of the switching chip. Typically, a management Ethernet port is used to
connect a PC for loading system programs or debugging, or connect the remote network management
station for implementing remote system management. Table 2-2 describes the management Ethernet
port spe
cifications.

3 Installing an OAP Card
Installing and Removing an OAP Card
z The installation tools are not provided with the H3C series switches and OAP cards.
z This section describes the installation and removal of a firewall card on an S5800-60C-PWR switch.
The installation and removal of other OAP card models are similar.
z OAP cards are hot swappable. That is, you can remove an OAP card from a switch when the switch
is powered on.
Prepare the following tools before installation:
z Phillips screwdriver
z ESD-preventive wrist strap
Install an OAP card
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensure a good skin contact and make sure that the
ESD-preventive wrist strap is properly grounded.
Step2 Loosen the captive screws on the blank panel counterclockwise with a Phillips screwdriver, as shown
in
Figure 3-1, and remove the blank panel from the slot to be used. Keep the removed blank panel
properly for future use.

(3) Phillips screwdriver
Step3 Take the OAP card out of the package. Then, you can select to insert the OAP card as shown in Figure
3-2 wit
h the ejector levels at the bottom, or reversely insert the OAP card as shown in Figure 3-3 with
the ejector le
vers on top. Select a proper installation mode based on the hardware structure of your
switch.

The insertion and reverse insertion procedures are the same. This manual uses reverse insertion of an
OAP card to an S5800-60C-PWR switch as an example.
Figure 3-2 Insert an OAP card
Figure 3-3 Reversely insert an OAP card
Step4 Push the OAP card slowly along the guide rails (see (3) in Figure 3-4) and then push the ejector levers
inward to loc
k the OAP card in position (see (4) in Figure 3-4).

When installing the OAP card, note the following:
z Do not touch the components on the surface of the OAP card.
z Do not apply excessive force while installing the OAP card. If you cannot insert the OAP card
smoothly, check whether the installation mode (reverse insertion) is correct.
Step5 Fasten the captive screws on the OAP card clockwise with the Philips screwdriver until the OAP card is
fixed into the chassis.
Remove an OAP card
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensure a good skin contact and make sure that the
ESD-preventive wrist strap is properly grounded.
Step2 Loosen the captive screws on the OAP card counterclockwise with the Philips screwdriver until all
spring pressure is released.
Step3 Hold each ejector lever with a hand and pull the ejector levers outward (see (4) in
Figure 3-5). Then pull
out the OAP card slowly along the guide rails (see (3) in
Figure 3-5).
Figure 3-5 Remove the OAP card

The protection panel on the OAP card surface has a yellow warning label , indicating that this
area corresponds to the inner heat radiator. After the OAP card runs for a period of time, this area may
be very hot. So keep your hands away from the area while removing the OAP card to avoid being hurt.
3-4
When removing the OAP card, note the following:
z Do not touch the components on the surface of the OAP card.
z Do not apply excessive force while removing the OAP card.
z If you do not install a new OAP card in the slot, install a blank panel to prevent dust from entering
the switch and ensure normal ventilation in the switch.
Connecting the Management Ethernet Port Cable
Step1 Connect the management Ethernet port to the terminal.
z To connect the management Ethernet port of an OAP card to the Ethernet port of a PC or router,
use a crossover cable.
z To connect the management Ethernet port of an OAP card to the Ethernet port of a hub or switch,
use a straight-through cable.
Step2 After the OAP card is powered on, check the management Ethernet port status LED on the front panel
of the OAP card. If the LED is on, a link is present; if the LED is off, no link is present, and you need to
check the line.
Verifying the Installation
After the OAP card is installed, you can check the status of the LEDs on the front panel of the OAP card
to verify the operation state of the OAP card. If the OAP card works abnormally, check whether the OAP
card is correctly installed.
