220 V × 0.128 A = 28.2 W

Only the H3C-recommended external PoE power supply can be used as the DC input, rather than the

–48 VDC power supply of the equipment room, which may cause device damage.

1-5

z As a power sourcing equipment (PSE), the WX3000 series supports the IEEE 802.3af standard

while being compatible with some PoE powered devices that do not comply with the 802.3af

standard.

z The WX3000 series provides power supply through fixed electrical Ethernet ports, with the

maximum power transmission distance of 100 meters (328.08 ft.).

z Each Ethernet port of the WX3000 series provides a maximum of 25 W output power to the

attached PoE powered device. In the case of AC input, the maximum output power with full load of

the WX3024 is 370 W, and that of the WX3010 and WX3008 is 125 W; in the case of RPS input, the

maximum output power of the WX3024 is 25 W × 24 = 600 W (Note that the RPS output power

should be at least 700 W).

Ethernet interfaces

1) Introduction

z The WX3024 provides twenty-four 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports and four 1000Base-X SFP

ports.

Each SFP port and the corresponding 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port jointly form a Combo interface.

Only one of the two ports of a Combo interface can be used at a time.

Table 1-9 lists the SFP and

electrical Ethernet ports that form the Combo interfaces.

z The WX3010 provides eight 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports and two 1000Base-X SFP ports.

The electrical Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing. The working modes of an

Ethernet port at different speeds are shown in

Table 1-10.

z The WX3008 provides eight 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports.

The electrical Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing. The working modes of an

Ethernet port at different speeds are shown in

Table 1-10.

The electrical Ethernet port status LEDs are above the RJ-45 sockets. The triangular pointer above

each LED indicates which port the LED is for.

z The optical Ethernet ports of the WX3000 series support 100/1000 Mbps full duplex. The optical

port status LEDs are above the 1000Base-X SFP ports, each indicating the status of the

corresponding optical port.

The support for the speed of optical Ethernet ports depends on the model of the optical transceivers.

2) RJ-45 connectors

The 10/100/1000M electrical Ethernet ports of the WX3000 series work with Category-5 twisted pair

cables with RJ-45 connectors, as shown in

Figure 1-10.

Figure 1-10 RJ-45 connector

3) LC connectors

As an indispensable passive component in a fiber communication system, a fiber connector is mainly

used for the removable connection between optical tunnels. This facilitates the testing and maintenance

1-9

of the optical system and makes optical inter-connections more flexible.

Currently, the WX3000 series supports only LC connectors.

Figure 1-11 LC connector

z When connecting a networking device using optical fibers, first make sure that the fiber connectors

will work with the optical transceivers.

z Before connecting fiber cables, make sure that the optical power of the receiver end does not

exceed the upper threshold of the receiving optical power of the optical transceiver; otherwise, the

optical transceiver may be damaged. For the optical power specifications of the receiver end, refer

to Appendix A.

z Optical transceivers are optional components and are not supplied with the WX3000 series. Use

H3C-recommended optical transceivers. For details about the technical specifications of SFP

optical transceiver, refer to Appendix A.

z The WX3024 supports all XFP optical transceivers except those requiring –5.2 V power supply.

z The BIDI optical transceivers must be used in pairs. For example, if an SFP-GE-LX-SM1310-BIDI

is used at one end, an SFP-GE-LX-SM1490-BIDI must be used at the other end. The same is true

for FE BIDI modules.

When the AC power supply fails, an RPS unit can feed power to maintain the normal operation of the

system.

z The WX3010 and WX3008 do not support the RPS unit.

z An RPS unit is an optional accessory to be separately orderly if needed.

z For the RPS unit installation information, refer to section Connecting the RPS Cable on page 3-19.

2 Preparing for Installation

Safety Precautions

To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules:

z Pull the power plug(s) out of the device before cleaning the device. Do not clean the device using

wet cloth or liquid.

z Keep the device away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from entering the device

chassis.

z Do not place the device on an unstable case or desk. The device might be damaged severely in

case of a fall.

z Ensure proper ventilation in the equipment room and keep the vents of the device free of

obstruction.

z Make sure that the operating voltage is within the range as labeled on the device.

z To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis when the device is operating or when electrical

hazards are present.

z When replacing interface modules, always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Installation Site Checking

The device is designed for indoor use. You can mount the device either in a rack or on a workbench, but

make sure that:

z Adequate space is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for heat dissipation.

z The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.

z The rack is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories.

z The rack or workbench is well grounded.

To ensure normal operation and a long service life of your device, install it in an environment that meets

the following requirements.

Temperature and Humidity

The temperature and humidity in the equipment room must be kept within a proper range.

z Lasting high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property

changes, and corrosion.

z If the relative humidity is too low, captive screws may become loose as a result of contraction of

insulation washers, and static electricity may be produced in a dry environment to interfere the

circuits on the device.

z Lasting high temperatures accelerate the aging of insulation materials and thus significantly lower

the reliability and service life of the device.

The temperature and humidity requirements for the WX3000 series are listed in

2-1

Table 2-1.

Table 2-1 Working environment

Temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)

Relative humidity 10% to 95% (noncondensing)

Cleanliness

Dust is hazardous to the operating safety of the device. Dust buildup on the chassis may result in static

adsorption, causing poor contact of metal connectors or metal contact points. When the relative indoor

humidity is low, especially, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. This not only shortens the

service life of your device but also causes communication failures. The following table lists the dust

concentration limit in the equipment room.

Table 2-2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Physical active substance Limit (particles/m3)

Item Specification

Dust particles

Note: The dust particle diameter is ≥ 5 μm

In addition, the equipment room should also meet the rigorous limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to

eliminate corrosion and premature aging of some parts.

Static electricity generation and harms

The electrostatic induction that adversely affects the operation of the device mainly comes from:

z Outdoor electric fields caused by high-voltage power lines or lightning strikes.

z Internal systems, such as the indoor environment, floor materials, and the structure of the

integrated equipment.

Although a great deal of electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention considerations have been taken in

the design of the WX3000 series, excessive static electricity is still remarkably harmful to the whole

device.

ESD prevention methods

To prevent ESD damage, do the following:

2-2

z Make sure that the device and the floor are well grounded.

z Keep the equipment room clean.

z Keep proper temperature and humidity conditions.

z When touching a circuit board, always wear ESD-preventive gloves or an ESD-preventive wrist

strap, and wear antistatic work clothes.

z When mounting, removing, observing, or moving an interface module, always take the printed

circuit board (PCB) by the edges without touching the components on the PCB.

z After removing an interface module, place the PCB on an antistatic workbench with the

component-side facing upward or place it in an antistatic bag.

ESD-preventive wrist strap

The ESD-preventive wrist strap is not provided with the device.

Follow these steps to use an ESD-preventive wrist strap:

Step1 Put on and fasten the wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap has good skin contact. Step2 Attach grounding wire to the wrist strap and the alligator clip to the rack. Step3 Verify that the rack is well grounded.

Figure 2-1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap

EMI Prevention

All interference sources, from the outside or inside of the device and application system, adversely

affect the device in the conduction patterns of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,

electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including grounding system) coupling, and

cable conduction (including power cables, signal cables and output cables). To prevent interference, do

the following:

2-3

z Use a TN system for the system earthing of the AC power supply, and use a single-phase

three-wire AC socket with a protection earth (PE) to effectively filter interference from the power

grid.

z Keep the device away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and high-frequency

heavy-current devices.

z Take electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary. For example, use shielded interface

cables.

z Route the interface cables only indoors to protect signal interfaces against over-voltage or

over-current conditions cause by lightning strikes.

Laser Safety

The WX3000 series is the Class 1 laser product.

Do not look directly at any working optical transceivers on the WX3000 series because the high-energy

laser beam emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.

Staring into the laser beam emitted from an optical fiber may hurt your eyes.
