Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
To avoid equipment damage and 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.
• 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.
• Make sure the input 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 cards, power modules, and fan trays, wear an ESD wrist strap
to avoid ESD damage. For information about wearing an ESD wrist strap, see "Attaching an
ESD wris
t strap."
Examining the installation site
Make sure the installation site meets the following requirements:
• Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet vents for ventilation.
• The rack has a good ventilation system.
• The rack has enough space to accommodate the switch. For information about switch
dimensions and requirements for the rack, see "Installing the switch."
• 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 is reliably grounded.
To ensure correct operation and long service life of the switch, install it in an environment that meets
the requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature and humidity
Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room as described in "Appendix A Chassis
views and technical specifications."
• Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property change of materials, and metal corrosion.
• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems
including loose mounting screws and circuit failure.
2
• High temperature can accelerate aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
reliability and lifespan of the switch.
Cleanliness
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
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
• A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.
• Inductance coupling.
• Electromagnetic wave radiation.
• Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:
• 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 to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.
• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary. For example, use shielded interface cables.
• To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or over-current caused by
lightning strikes, only route interface cables indoors.
3
Laser safety
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber ports when the switch has power. The laser light emitted from the optical
fiber might hurt your eyes.
4
Installing the switch
CAUTION:
Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the S9804 switch 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
IMPORTANT:
For an S9810 switch, install switching fabric modules before you install fan trays.

To support the weight of the chassis, you can prepare a pair of slides rails or rack shelf yourself for
the switch. Make sure the slide rails or rack shelf has the following load-bearing capacities:
• S9804 switch—A minimum of 40 kg (88.18 lb).
• S9810 switch—A minimum of 70 kg (154.32 lb).
Installing the installation accessories for the S9804 switch
The S9804 switch has one front mounting position (near the network ports) and one rear mounting
position (near the power modules). The switch also has one primary grounding point (with a
grounding sign) and one auxiliary grounding point. Determine the positions for the mounting brackets
and grounding cable before installation.

(3) Auxiliary grounding point (4) Front mounting position (network port side)
Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the S9804 switch
1. Align the screw holes in the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the mounting position, as
shown in Figure 15.
This exam
ple uses the rear mounting position.
2. Use the M4 countersunk screws supplied with the switch to attach the mounting brackets to the
chassis.
3. Determine the installation positions for the chassis rails based on the rack depth.
4. Align the screw holes in the chassis rails with the rail mounting holes in the chassis.
5. Use the M4 screws supplied with the switch to attach the chassis rails to the chassis, as shown
in Figure 15.

use one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point
before you mount the switch in the rack.
To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point, for example, the primary grounding
point:
1. Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
2. Use the grounding screws to attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the
grounding point, as shown in Figure 16.

Installing the installation accessories for the S9810 switch
The S9810 switch has one front mounting position (near the network ports) and one rear mounting
position (near the power modules). The switch also has one primary grounding point (with a
grounding sign) and one auxiliary grounding point. Determine the positions for the mounting brackets
and grounding cable before installation.

Attaching the mounting brackets and grounding cable to the S9810 switch
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the right side panel. If you
use one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point
before you mount the switch in the rack.
To install the mounting brackets and grounding cable on the S9810 switch:
1. Determine the installation positions for the mounting brackets and the grounding cable.
2. Align the screw holes in the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the mounting position, as
shown in Figure 18.
This exam
ple uses the front mounting position.
3. Use the M4 countersunk screws supplied with the switch to attach the mounting brackets to the
chassis.
4. Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
5. Use the grounding screws to attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the
grounding point, as shown in Figure 18.

Attaching the slide rails to the rack
1. Determine the position on the rack for installing the slide rails.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rear rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear post, and use screws (user
supplied) to attach the slide rail to the post, as shown in Figure 19.
4. Rep
eat the same steps to attach the other slide rail to the other rear post.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height.
