Preparing for installation

Safety recommendations

To avoid any 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.

• Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from

entering the switch chassis.

• Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case

of a fall.

• Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch

free of obstruction.

• Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before power-on.

• Make sure the operating voltage is in the required range.

• To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the switch

is just powered off.

• When replacing FRUs, including interface cards and power modules, wear an ESD wrist strap to

avoid damaging the units.

Examining the installation site

The S5500-HI switches must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench,

but make sure:

• Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.

• The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.

• Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure ambient air flows into the

switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.

• Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the bottom

device from entering the top device.

• The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.

• The rack or workbench is correctly grounded.

To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the

requirements described in the following subsections.

Temperature/humidity

Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.

2

• Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property

change of materials, and metal corrosion.

• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including

loose captive screws and circuit failure.

• 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, see "Appendix A Chassis views and technical

spec

ifications."

Cleanness

Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal

components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,

electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.

Table 1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)

Dust

≤ 3 x 10

(no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)

NOTE:

Dust diameter ≥ 5 μm

The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and

premature aging of components, as shown in Table 2.

EMI

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) might be coupled from the source to the switch through the following

coupling mechanisms:

• Capacitive coupling

• Inductive coupling

• Radiative coupling

• Common impedance coupling

• Conductive coupling

To prevent EMI, take the following actions:

3

• If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to

filter interference from the power grid.

• Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency

devices.

• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.

• Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or

overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

Laser safety

W

ARNING!

Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li

g

ht emitted from the optical fiber

might hurt your eyes.

The S5500-HI switches are Class 1 laser devices.

Installing the switch

CAUTION:

Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mountin

g

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.

Figure 1 Hardware installation flow

NOTE:

Only the S5500-28SC-HI and S5500-52SC-HI need a fan tray.

Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack

You can install an S5500-HI switch in a 19-inch rack by using one of the following methods:

• Use the front mounting brackets. Figure 2 sh

ows the mounting procedure diagram.

• Use the front and rear mounting brackets. Figure 3 sh

ows the mounting procedure diagram.

• Use the front mounting brackets and mounting rail assemblies. Figure 4 sh

ows the mounting

procedure diagram.

NOTE:

If a rack shelf is available, you can put the switch on the rack shelf, slide the switch to an appropriate

position, and attach the switch to the rack with mounting brackets.

Rack-mounting by using front mounting brackets

(S5500-34C-HI, S5500-58C-HI, and S5500-34F-HI)

This mounting method is applicable to only the S5500-34C-HI, S5500-58C-HI, and S5500-34F-HI

switches.

This task requires two people.

To install the switch in a 19-inch rack by using the front mounting brackets:

1. Identify the mounting positions.

2. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is correctly grounded.

3. Attach the front mounting brackets to the chassis:

a. Unpack the front mounting brackets and the M4 screws (supplied with the switch) for attaching

the brackets to the switch chassis.

b. Align the round holes in the wide flange of one front mounting bracket with the screw holes in

the port-side mounting position (see Figure 8) or power-side mou

nting position (see Figure 9).

c. Use M4 screws to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.

d. Repeat the proceeding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.

4. Mount the chassis to the rack:

a. One person supports the chassis bottom with one hand, holds the front part of the chassis with

the other hand, and pushes the chassis into the rack gently

b. The other person uses M6 screws and cage nuts (user supplied) to attach the switch to the rack.

5. Connect the one-hole lug grounding cable to the rear grounding point (see "Connecting the rear

grounding point to a grounding strip").

Rack-mounting by using front and rear mounting brackets

(S5500-34C-PWR-HI and S5500-58C-PWR-HI)

This mounting method is applicable to only the S5500-34C-PWR-HI and S5500-58C-PWR-HI switches.

You can install the front mounting brackets at the port-side or power-side mounting position as needed.

The following takes port-side mounting as an example. The power-side mounting is similar.

This task requires two people.

To install the switch in a 19-inch rack by using the front and rear mounting brackets:

1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is correctly grounded.

2. Attach the front mounting brackets and load-bearing screws to the chassis:

a. Unpack the front mounting brackets and the M4 screws for attaching the brackets to the switch

chassis.

b. Align the round holes in the wide flange of one front mounting bracket with the screw holes in

the port-side mounting position on one side of the chassis (see Figure 12).

c. Use M4

screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.

d. Repeat the proceeding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.

e. Unpack the load-bearing screws.

f. Install the load-bearing screws in one of the load-bearing screw mounting positions (see Figure

12) as need

ed.

3. Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rack:

a. Unpack the rear mounting brackets.

b. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rear rack posts.

c. Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear posts with M6 screws (user supplied), as shown

in Figure 13.

e rear mounting brackets to a rack

4. Mount the switch chassis in the rack:

a. One person supports the chassis bottom with one hand, holds the front part of the chassis with

the other hand, and pushes the chassis into the rack gently.

Make sure the load-bearing screws closely contact with the upper edges of the rear mounting

brackets, as shown in Figure 14.

b. The oth

er person aligns the oval holes in the front brackets with the mounting holes in the front

rack posts, and attaches the front mounting brackets with M6 screws (user supplied) to the front

rack posts.
