Installation Manual (For Soliton) 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:

Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.

Keep the switch away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.

Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk, because the switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall.

Keep the switch room drafty and the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction. The switch can operate normally only under correct voltage input. Make sure that

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

Enough space is reserved near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the switch for heat dissipation of the switch chassis.

The cabinet or the workbench takes good ventilation and heat dissipation system. The cabinet or the desk is solid enough to bear the weight of the switch and the

accessories. 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


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 104 (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 SO2, H2S, NH3 and Cl2. The limits of these kinds of harmful gas are shown in the following table.

Table 2-2 Limits on harmful gas in the equipment room

Gas Max content (mg/m³)

SO2 0.2

H2S 0.006

NH3 0.05

Cl2 0.01


2-3

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:

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.

Keep the switch far away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and high-frequency heavy-current devices.

Adopt electromagnetic shielding measure if necessary. For example, you can adopt shielded interface cable.

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.

2.3 Installation Tools

Guide rails purchased from H3C apply only to standard cabinets 1,000 mm (39.4 in) deep. Use other supports to substitute for guide rails in the case of other cabinet depths.

Installation procedure

Follow these steps to install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet:

Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to check the grounding and stability of the cabinet.

1) Take out the screws packed together with the front mounting ears and fix one end of the front mounting ears to the switch, as shown in Figure 3-2.

2) Install guide rails on the brackets on both sides of the cabinet with M5 self-tapping screws. Figure 3-5 is for reference only.

Figure 3-7 Effect diagram of front mounting ear and guide rail installation

Note:

No guide rails are delivered with the device. Ensure a clearance of 1U (44.45 mm, namely, 1.75 inches) between devices for the

purpose of heat dissipation.

3.1.2 Desk Mounting

When a 19-inch standard cabinet is not available, you can simply place the switch on a clean desk. When doing so, you should ensure that:

The desk is stable and well grounded. A clearance about 10 cm (3.9 in) is reserved around the switch for heat

dissipation. No heavy object is placed on the switch. S3100 Series Ethernet Switches are designed with no fan. Therefore, you should

install them in a drafty environment, and keep at least a vertical distance of 1.5 cm (0.6 in) between devices if you need to stack switches one upon another.

3.1.3 Wall Mounting

You can mount some models of S3100 Series Ethernet Switches on concrete walls or wood walls. Table 3-3 lists the models that support wall mounting.

II. Installation procedure

The wall-mounting procedure is as follows:

As shown in Figure 3-10, drill two holes 5 mm across in the wall on the same horizontal line, with a distance of X=170 mm (6.69 in.).


3-8

Note:

Drill two holes according to the sizes of anchor kits and screws so that anchor kits could go into the holes, only the edges could remain outside the wall, and the screws could be fixed on the wall tightly.

1) Insert anchor kits into the holes and keep only the edges outside the wall. 2) Drive screws into the anchor kits, keeping the inside of screw head at least 1.5 mm

(0.06 in) away from the edge of the anchor kit so that the switch could hang on the screws securely.

Figure 3-11 Magnets and countersunk head screws


Follow these steps to complete magnet mounting:

1) As shown in Figure 3-12, use a Phillips screwdriver to pass the countersunk head screw through the round hole at the center of the permanent magnet, fasten it to a blind nut in the dent of the switch bottom, and ensure that the permanent magnet and the switch are fastened reliably.

Note:

Remove the cushion, if any, from the dent before installation. To ensure the firmness of installation, be sure to use four permanent magnets to

secure each S3100 switch.

2) Attach the magnet-mounted device to the specified location. Take care not to get your fingers stuck between because the magnetism is very huge.

Figure 3-12 Magnet mounting

Caution:

Apply magnet mounting to only the above four models. Otherwise, a falloff or mis-operation may occur.

Select the installation location carefully. In the case of poor surface, magnet mounting may not be reliable.

Put the device at a stable place free from vibrations or shocks. Otherwise, personal injuries or equipment damage may occur.

Avoid installing the device at a high place because personal injuries or equipment damage may occur in case of a falloff.

Avoid frequently moving the desk-mounted device because such movements may damage the surface coating.

Keep the front panel of the device facing downwards and the two sides with ventilation holes vertical to the ground, if you want to install the device vertically.

Pay attention that the weight of external cables should not bring about a falloff, which may result in personal injuries or equipment damage.

Keep floppy disks and magnetic cards away from magnets to avoid erasure of any information.

Keep computers and monitors that are easily influenced by magnetic fields away from magnets. Otherwise, faults may occur to these electronic devices.

3.2 Connection of Power Cable and Grounding Cable

3.2.1 Connecting AC Power Cable

I. AC power socket (recommended)

You are recommended to use a mono-phase three-core power socket with a neutral point or a multi-function power socket for computers. The neutral point of the power in your building must be well grounded. Normally, the neutral point of the power supply system in your building has already been grounded during the construction and wiring; but you should make sure this is the fact.

Figure 3-13 Recommended AC power socket

II. Connecting AC power cable

1) Connect one end of the grounding cable (delivered with the switch) to the grounding screw on the rear of the chassis and the other end to the ground nearby.

2) Connect one end of the power cable to the power socket on the rear panel of the chassis and the other end to an outside AC power socket.

3) Check whether the PWR LED on the front panel of the switch is ON. If yes, the power is properly connected.

Caution:

Before powering on the switch, you should properly connect the grounding cable.

2) Check whether the PWR LED on the front panel of the switch is ON. If yes, the power is properly connected.

Caution:

Before powering on the switch, you should properly connect the grounding cable. The DC power cable should be less than 3 meters long. Only the recommended 12V-RPS DC power supply and power cables can be used.

3.2.3 Connecting Grounding Cable

Caution:

You should properly connect the switch grounding cable since it is crucial to the lightning protection and electromagnetic shield (EMS) of your switch.

The power input end of the switch is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the so-called chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). This chassis ground must be securely connected to the earth so that the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth, enhancing the EMS capability of the switch.

Ground the switch as follows:

When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the yellow-green grounding cable of the switch to the grounding screw on the grounding strip and fasten the captive nut. (Note that the fire main and lightning rod of your building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The grounding cable


3-14

of the switch should be connected to the construction engineering ground of the equipment room.)

3.3 Connecting Optical Fiber

Caution:

After a switch starts, the optical port may emit invisible radial when there is no optical connector connected to it and the protective cap is removed from it. Therefore, do not stare into the optical interface.

Be sure to cover the protective cap within 10 seconds if an optical connector is not in use to keep the optical connector clean.

Be sure to cover the protective cap if an optical port has no optical connector attached.

Place the protective caps in a safe place when an optical port has fiber connected to prepare for the cases the fiber is pulled out.

3.4 Connection of Console Cable

3.4.1 Console Cable

The console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is a crimped RJ-45 connector to be connected to the console port of the switch; at the other end of the cable is a DB-9 (female) connector to be connected to the 9-core (pin) serial port on the console terminal. See the following figure.

Installation Manual (For Soliton) H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 5 Boot ROM and Host Software Loading

5-1

Chapter 5 Boot ROM and Host Software Loading

Traditionally, the loading of switch software is accomplished through the serial port. This approach is slow, inconvenient, and cannot be used for remote real-time loading. To resolve these problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are introduced into the switch. With these modules, the software and files can be loaded through Ethernet port conveniently.

This chapter introduces how to load Boot ROM and host software into a switch locally and how to do this remotely.

5.1 Introduction to Loading Approaches

You can load the software locally by using:

XModem via console port TFTP via Ethernet port FTP via Ethernet port

You can load the software remotely by using:

FTP TFTP

Note:

Boot ROM software version should be compatible with the host software version when you load the Boot ROM and host software.

5.2 Local Software Loading

If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load Boot ROM and host software locally.

Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the switch to ensure the successful loading.


5-2

Note:

The loading process of the Boot ROM software is the same as that of the host software, except that during the Boot ROM loading process, you should press <Ctrl+U> and <Enter> after entering the Boot Menu and the system gives somewhat different prompts. The following text mainly describes the Boot ROM loading process.

5.2.1 Boot Menu

Take S3100-26TP-EI-W switch as example. After the switch is powered on, the system displays:

Starting......

***********************************************************

5-3

Note:

To enter the Boot Menu, you should press <Ctrl+B> within five seconds after the information “Press Ctrl-B to enter Boot Menu...” appears. Otherwise, the system starts to decompress the program; and if you want to enter the Boot Menu at this time, you will have to restart the switch.

Input the correct Boot ROM password (by default, no password is set on the switch). The system enters the Boot Menu:

BOOT MENU










0. Reboot


5.2.2 Loading Software Using XModem Through Console Port

I. Introduction to XModem

XModem is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and good performance. XModem transfers files via console port. It supports two types of data packets (128 bytes and 1 KB), two check methods (checksum and CRC), and error packet retransmission mechanism (generally the maximum number of retransmission attempts is ten).

The XModem transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a receiving program and a sending program: The receiving program sends a negotiation packet to negotiate a packet check method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to transmit data packets. When receiving a complete packet, the receiving program checks the packet using the agreed method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends an acknowledgement packet and the sending program proceeds to send another packet; otherwise, the receiving program sends a negative acknowledgement packet and the sending program retransmits the packet.

Chapter 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

6.1 Software Loading Failure

If software loading fails, the system keeps running in original version.

In this case, check if the physical ports are properly connected:

If not, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure. If so, check the loading procedure information displayed on the HyperTerminal for

input errors. If there is any input error, restart the loading procedure with correct input. For example:

1) When using XModem, verify that you have reset the bits per second of the HyperTerminal to 9600 bps after loading the software with a bits per second other than 9600 bps;

2) When using TFTP, verify that you have provided: Correct server and switch IP addresses, Correct name of the software to be loaded, Correct working path of TFTP server;

3) When using FTP, verify that you have provided: Correct server and switch IP addresses, Correct name of the software to be loaded, Correct username and password.

If software loading fails but there are neither physical connection problems nor input errors, please contact your agent for help.

6.2 Missing Password

6.2.1 Missing user password

If you forget your user password, you can:

Access the Boot Menu:

BOOT MENU










6-2


0. Reboot


Select <7> and restart the switch. After that, the system will skip the configuration file.

6.2.2 Missing Boot ROM Password

Please contact your agent.

6.3 Power System Failure

You can check whether the power system of the switch fails by viewing the POWER indicator on the front panel. If it is in normal operation, the POWER indicator should stay on. Otherwise, please check that:

The switch power cable is correctly connected. The power input to the switch matches the requirement as labeled on the switch.

6.4 Configuration System Failure

After the switch is powered on and the system is normal, the booting information will be displayed on the configuration terminal. If the configuration system has any faults, there will not be any screen display at the configuration terminal or the displayed characters will be totally illegible.

I. Troubleshooting when there is no terminal display

If there is no output information after the configuration is powered on, please check that:

The power supply is normal The console cable is properly connected

If no problems are found after the above-mentioned items have been checked, the cause may lie in the console cable or the settings of the terminal (such as HyperTerminal) parameters. Please perform the corresponding check.

II. Troubleshooting when the terminal display is illegible

If there is illegible display at the configuration terminal, the cause might lie in the parameter setting error at the terminal (such as HyperTerminal). Please confirm the following terminal parameter (such as HyperTerminal) settings:

Bits per second: 9600 Data bits: 8 Parity check: None Stop bits: 1

Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch

A.1 Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection)

Caution:

Lightning arrester will not be shipped with the switch. You should purchase it by yourself if needed.

If an outdoor AC power cord should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for AC power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) before you plug AC power cord into the switch, thus to prevent the possible damage to the switch due to lightning strike. You can use cable clips and screws to fasten the lightning arrester for AC power on the cabinet, workbench or the wall of equipment room.

Mainboard

Grounding and polarity indicator (red) :On means that the lines are wrongly connected(either the ground wire is not well connected, or the live and zero lines are wrongly connected).Please check the power supply circuit.

Power switchNormal operation indicator (green): On means that the arrester works normally. Otherwise, it means that the protection circuit has been damaged.

Multipurpose power socket, connected to the deviceprotected by the arrester

Power socket (complied with IEC standard), connected to the power supply of the equipment roomthrough power cord

Overload auto protector,which can be manually reset.

Figure A-1 Diagram of lightning arrester


A-2

Caution:

Make sure that the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power.

After inserting AC power cord plug of switch into the socket of lightning arrester, if the green LED is on and the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the function of lightning protection has taken effect.

Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You should correctly locate the problem, whether it is caused because the ground wire of the arrester is not well grounded or because the live and zero wires are connected in reverse direction. You may check that in the following way. When the red LED is on, use a multimeter to examine polarity at the power socket of the arrester. If it is same to that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that arrester is not well grounded. If it is adverse to that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that the power socket of the arrester is set to the reverse polarity. In this case, you should open the power socket of arrester to correct polarity. After that, if the red LED still alarms, it means that the arrester is not well grounded yet.

A.2 Installation of Lightning Arrester for Network Port

Note:

Lightning arrester for network port is specially designed for the Ethernet port of 10/100M electrical interface (RJ-45 connector is adopted in this case).

Caution:

Lightning arrester for network port will not be provided along with the switch, and you should purchase it by yourself if needed.

�If an outdoor network cable should be led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for network port before you plug this cable into the interface on the switch, in case of the possibility that the switch may be damaged due to lightning strike.

I. Required tools

Phillips screwdriver or Flat-blade screwdriver

Multimeter Tilted wire cutter


Step 1: Tear the protection paper at one side of the double faced adhesive tape apart from the tape, and stick the tape on the surface of the arrester. Tear the protection paper at another side apart from the tape, and stick the arrester onto the chassis of the switch. The arrester should be attached on the chassis as close to the grounding screw as possible.

Step 2: According to the distance to the grounding screw of the switch, cut the ground wire of the arrester, and securely tightening its ground wire to the grounding screw of the switch.

Step 3: Use the multimeter to measure whether the ground wire of the arrester contacts well with the grounding screw of chassis.

Step 4: According to the instruction of arrester for network port, connect the arrester with switch by the cables (be carefully with the cable direction. Outdoor network cable should be inserted into the arrester‘s IN end, and the cable connected to the switch should be inserted into the arrester’s OUT end). When you do that, observe whether the arrester indicators normally display.

Note:

The instruction of lightning arrester for network port contains the technical specifications, installation and maintenance guide of the arrester. Please carefully read it before installing the arrester.

Step 5: Use the nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.

III. Installation precautions

Fully consider the following items in the installation process, otherwise, the performance of the lightning arrester for network port will be affected:

Lightning arrester for network port is installed in reverse direction. In practice, the “IN” end should be connected to the outdoor network cable and the “OUT” end to the network port on the switch.

Lightning arrester for the network port is not well grounded. The ground wire for the arrester should be as short as possible, so to ensure its good contact with the grounding screw of the switch. After the connection, use the multimeter to confirm that.

The lightning arrester for the network port is not installed completely. If the switch has more than one network ports to interconnect with other devices via cables outdoor, you should install lightning arresters for all these network ports for protection.
