1.3.2 Auto-Sensing 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet Port Status LED

There are two port status LEDs on both sides (yellow LED on the left and green LED on

the right) of each 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet port of S3100 series. They indicate the

active, link, duplex, and speed statuses of the port.

In addition, there are an A/L LED and a D/S LED on each model of S3100 series. These

two LEDs indicate the mode of the port status LEDs. When the A/L LED is on, the port

status LEDs respectively indicate the active status and link status of ports. When the

D/S LED is on, the port status LEDs respectively indicate the duplex status and speed

status of ports. Either the A/L LED or the D/S LED is on at a specific time. For details,

see

H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Installation Preparation

2-1

Chapter 2 Installation Preparation

2.1 Precautions

To avoid any device impairment and body injury resulting from improper use, please

take the following precautions:

z Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power. Do not clean the switch with wet

cloth or liquid.

z Keep the switch away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from

entering the switch chassis.

z Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk, because the switch might be

damaged severely in case of a fall.

z Keep the switch room drafty and the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction.

z The switch can operate normally only under correct voltage input. Make sure that

the operating voltage is consistent with that labeled on the switch.

z To prevent electric shock, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating,

and do not open the chassis arbitrarily even when the switch is powered off.

z Before changing interface cards, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to prevent

the cards from being damaged by electrostatic discharge.

2.2 Requirements on Environment

S3100 Series Ethernet Switches must be used indoors. When you install your switch in

a cabinet or on a desk, you must ensure:

z Enough space is reserved near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the

switch for heat dissipation of the switch chassis.

z The cabinet or the workbench takes good ventilation and heat dissipation system.

z The cabinet or the desk is solid enough to bear the weight of the switch and the

accessories.

z The cabinet or the desk is well grounded.

To ensure normal operation and to prolong the life span of the switch, the following

requirements on the installation site must also be satisfied.

2.2.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements

You should keep your equipment room within the proper temperature and humidity

ranges to ensure the normal operation and working life of your switch. If the humidity in

the equipment room is too high for a long time, it may decrease the insulation attribute

of insulating material or even cause electric leakage of insulating material, and,

sometimes, may change the mechanical performance of material and cause the

Installation Manual (For Soliton)

H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Installation Preparation

2-2

rustiness and corrosion of metal parts. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive

screws may become loose due to the shrinking of insulation washers; in addition,

electrostatic is more likely to be produced in a dry environment, which may damage the

circuit of the switch. High temperature may cause even greater damage to the switch.

High temperature for a long time will speed up the aging of insulation material, greatly

lower the reliability of the switch and greatly reduce the life span of the switch.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of different models, refer to section

1.4

“

Technical Specifications”.

2.2.2 Cleanness Requirements

Dust is a potential hazard to the safe operation of the switch. Falling on the equipment,

it may cause electrostatic adsorption, and hence result in poor contact of the metal

connectors or connection points. This is more likely to happen when the indoor relative

humidity is low; in this case, it may not only shorten the device’s working life, but also

incur communication failure. The requirements on dust content and particle diameter in

the equipment room are shown in the following table:

Table 2-1 Requirements on dust content in the equipment room

Physical active

substance

Unit Content

Dust particle particle/m³

≤ 3 x 10

4

(No visible dust on

desk in three days)

Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5µm

Besides the requirements on dust, rigorous requirements are also set on the content of

chloride, acid, and sulfide in the air of the equipment room. These kinds of harmful gas

will accelerate metal corrosion and aging of certain parts. The equipment room should

be protected from the intrusion of harmful gases such as SO

2

, H

S, NH

3

and Cl

2

. The

limits of these kinds of harmful gas are shown in the following table.

2.2.3 Anti-interference Requirements

A switch in use may be affected by the interference from outside the system by way of

capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic radiation, public

impedance (including the grounding system) coupling or conducting line (power line,

signaling line, and transmission line). Therefore, you should pay attention to the

following:

z If AC supply system is TN system, AC power socket should be a single-phase

three-line power socket with Protection Earth (PE) so that the filter circuit on the

equipment can effectively filter out the interference coming from the power supply

system.

z Keep the switch far away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and

high-frequency heavy-current devices.

z Adopt electromagnetic shielding measure if necessary. For example, you can

adopt shielded interface cable.

z Wire interface cables indoors. Do not wire cables outdoors in case that

over-voltage and over-current damage the device.

2.2.4 Laser Usage Security

S3100 Series Ethernet Switches are category-1 laser equipment.

Caution:

When an optional interface card of the S3100 Series Ethernet Switches is operating,

avoid staring into the optical interface because the high-energy laser beam emitted

from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.

Chapter 3 Installation

Caution:

On a mounting screw of the chassis of H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches, there is a

seal labeled with H3C. You must keep it intact before asking the agent to maintain the

switch. You must get the permission of the local agent before you can open the chassis.

Otherwise, you will be responsible for irreversible damages caused by your operations.

3.1 Installing a Switch

3.1.1 Cabinet Mounting

You can install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet in one of the following ways:

z Use front mounting ears

z Use front mounting ears and a tray

z Use front mounting ears and guide rails

The installation methods of a switch depend on the depth and width of the switch. For

the specific installation methods, see
