NOTE:
The available chassis models and accessories vary by country and region. This document describes
only the preceding models. For the chassis models and accessories available in your country or
region, contact the local H3C marketing personnel.
Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, 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 powering on the switch.
• 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.
2
• When replacing field replaceable units (FRUs), including expansion cards, power modules, and
fan trays, wear an ESD wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.
Examining the installation site
The S5560X-EI 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 outlet 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
neighboring device from entering the device.
• The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
• The rack or workbench is reliably grounded.
To ensure correct 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 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 cause problems
including loose mounting 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 of different switch models, see "Technical
specifications."
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 strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion
and premature aging of components, as shown in Tabl e 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.
• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
• To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, route interface cables only indoors.
Laser safety
WARNING!
The switch is Class 1 laser device. Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The
laser light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
Installation tools
• Flat-blade screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• ESD wrist strap
All these installation tools are user supplied.

Installing the switch
CAUTION:
Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting 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.

2. Make sure the front mounting brackets have been attached securely to the two sides of the
switch.
3. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts. Make sure the
corresponding cage nuts on the left and right front rack posts are at the same height.

Rack-mounting the switch by using front and rear mounting
brackets (S5560X-30C-PWR-EI and S5560X-54C-PWR-EI)
Attaching the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws to the switch
To rack-mount the S5560X-30C-PWR-EI and S5560X-54C-PWR-EI switches by using the front and
rear mounting brackets, you can install the front mounting brackets at the port-side or power
module-side mounting position. The following uses port-side mounting as an example. The
power-side mounting is similar.
To attach the front mounting brackets and shoulder screws to the switch:
1. 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 10.
2. Use M4 scre
ws (supplied with the switch) to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.
3. Repeat the proceeding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.
4. Unpack the shoulder screws. Attach the shoulder screw to one of the two installation positions
as red-marked in Figure 10.

Attaching the rear mounting brackets to the rack
1. Determine the switch installation position in the rack.
2. Install cage nuts in the rack posts. Make sure the corresponding cage nuts on the left and right
rear rack posts are at the same height.
3. Orient the rear mounting brackets with the wide flange inside or outside the rack as required.
4. Use M6 screws to attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear posts, as shown in Figure 11.
Do not fully tighten the M6
screws before mounting the switch in the rack.

4. 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 shoulder screws make close contact with the upper edges of the rear mounting
brackets, as shown in Figure 13.
5. The othe
r person attaches the front mounting brackets with M6 screws (user-supplied) to the
front rack posts.
Make sure the switch is installed securely in the rack.

Mounting the switch on a workbench
IMPORTANT:
• Reserve a minimum of 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.
• Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
To mount the switch on a workbench:
1. Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.
2. Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
3. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
Grounding the switch
WARNING!
Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
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 (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this
chassis ground to the earth to minimize the potential for system damage, maximize the safety at the
site, and minimize EMI susceptibility of the system.
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
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.
Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
WARNING!
• Connect the grounding cable to the grounding strip in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a
fire main or lightning rod.
• To guarantee the grounding effect and avoid switch damage, use the grounding cable provided
with the switch to connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding
strip.
Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
1. Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.
2. Use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the grounding
screw hole. Fasten the screw.
