Preparing for installation

Safety recommendations

To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety

recommendations before installing an H3C S3100V2-52TP switch. Note that the recommendations do

not cover every possible hazardous condition.

• Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power cord of 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 proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of the switch free of

obstruction.

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

• Make sure that the operating voltage is in the range labeled on the switch.

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

is just powered off.

• When replacing interface cards, hot-swappable power modules and fan trays, wear an

ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.

Examining the installation site

The H3C S3100V2-52TP Switch must be used indoors. You can mount the 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.

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

• The rack or workbench is well earthed.

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

You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Long-term high humidity

may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property changes, and metal corrosion.

However, if the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as the result of contraction

of insulation washers and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the

circuits on the device. A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the

aging of insulation materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the switch.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of this switch, see Table 6.

Cleanness

Dust buildup on the chassis may 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:

The dust diameter is greater than or equal to 5 m.

The equipment room must also meet strict 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 a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,

electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling. To

prevent EMI, take the following actions:

• The AC power system is a TN system, so use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with a

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 over-voltage

or over-current caused by lightning strikes.

Laser safety

The H3C S3100V2-52TP Switch is a line of Class 1 laser devices.

CAUTION:

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

ht emitted from the optical fiber

may hurt your eyes.

Installation tools

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• Phillips screwdriver

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

All these installation tools are user supplied.

Installing the switch

WARNING!

Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the

Step4 Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.

IMPORTANT:

• Ensure good ventilation and 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.

• Avoid placing heavy objects on the switch.

Grounding the switch

WARNING!

Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.

NOTE:

The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.

The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the

chassis to form the chassis ground. You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth so that the

faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the

switch.

You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions

available at the installation site:

• Grounding the switch with a grounding strip

• Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground

• Grounding the switch with the PE wire of an AC power supply

Grounding cable

The S3100V2-52TP Switch is provided with a yellow-green grounding cable. One end of the cable has

an OT terminal, and the other end is naked and soldered, as shown in Figure 8.

Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip

Follow these steps to connect the grounding cable to a grounding strip:

Step1 Remove the hex nut from the grounding strip.

Step2 Cut the grounding cable to a proper length according to the distance between the switch and the

grounding strip.

Step3 Make the connector on the grounding cable:

• If you have an OT terminal, follow callout A in Figure 10 t

o make the connector: Peel 5 mm (0.20

in) of insulation sheath by using a wire stripper, and then insert the naked metal part through the

insulation covering into the end of the OT terminal. Secure the metal part of the cable to the OT

terminal with a crimper, and then cover it with the insulation covering. Then heat the insulation

covering with a blower to make it completely cover the metal part.

• If you do not have an OT terminal, follow callout B in Figure 10 to make the connector: Peel the

insulation sheath by an appropriate length by using a wire stripper, and then bend the naked metal

part.

Step4 Connect the made connector to the grounding post of the grounding strip, and then fasten it with a hex

nut, as shown in Figure 11.
