1.2.4 PoE Power Supply

The S9500 series support power over Ethernet (PoE). With this feature, an S9500 switch equipped with an external PoE power supply and PoE-capa ble LPUs can deliver –48 VDC to its remotely powered devices (PDs), such as IP phones, wireless LAN (WLAN) access points (APs) and network cameras, through Ethern et cables.

Currently, among the LPUs of the S9500 series, only GV48 is PoE capabl e.

z The S9500 series can supply power to remote PDs through Ethernet electrical

ports on the LPUs. Each LPU can simultaneously supply power to up to 48 PDs with the maximum distance of 100 m (328.1 feet).

z Each Ethernet port can deliver up to 15.4 W to its PD. z The S9500 series determine whether to deliver power to a newly detected PD

according to the following condition: If the remaining PoE power of the switch is greater than what is required by a newly detected PD, the switch supplies powe r to it. Otherwise, the switch does not supply power to it.

Chapter 2 Installation Preparations

2.1 Safety Recommendations

T o avoid po ssible bodily injury and equipment damage, please read the following safety recommendations carefully before installing the S9500 series. The recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

2.1.1 General Safety Recommendations

z Take necessary safety measures to avoid injury and device damage. For example,

wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap.

z Make sure that the ground is dry and flat and you have adopted anti-slip

measures.

z Keep the chassis clean and dust-free. Do not place the switch on a moist area and

avoid liquid flowing into the switch.

z Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.

2.1.2 Electrical Safety

z Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as un grou nde d power

extension cables, missing safety grounds, and moist floors.

z Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the

power off at once in case accident occurs.

z Unplug all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassis. z Better not maintain the equipment alone when it has been powered. z Never assume but check each time that power has been disconnected from a

circuit.

2.1.3 ESD Damage Prevention

To prevent the electronic components from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD), you should not only take ESD measures where the switch is located, but also take the following precautions:

z Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing components,

especially the electronic printed circuit boards.

z Hold the edges of the PCB when necessary. Do not touch any electronic

components or printed circuit.

Take the following steps to use the ESD-preventive wrist strap.

1) Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.

2) Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin.

2-1

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 2 Installation Preparations

3) Insert the ESD-preventive wrist strap into the specially designed hole on the switch chassis or attach it to the grounding screw of the chassis th e alligator clips.

4) Make sure that the ESD-preventive wrist strap is well grounded.

Caution:

For the sake of safety, check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap. The resistance reading should be in the range of 1M to 10 M ohm between human body and the ground.

2.1.4 Handling Safety

Since the S9500 series are rather large and heavy, you should follow the recommendations below:.

z Remove all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassi s. z Do not move the switch alone. z Move the switch slowly and stably. Keep in step with your partner and balance

your bodies when moving the switch.

Caution:

You can only hold the handles at both sides of the chassis when mov ing the switch, but not the plastic panel of the chassis, the handle of the fan frame, the handle of the PSUs, the handle of the back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of chassis. Any attempt to carry the switch with these parts may cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.

2.1.5 Laser Safety

S9500 series routing switches are class 1 laser products. When an optional optical interface board of an S9500 switch is operating, do not stare

into the open optical port because the laser emitted from it has very high power density and is harmful to your retina.

2-2

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 2 Installation Preparations

Caution:

The laser inside the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.

2.2 Examining Installation Site

The S9500 series can only be used indoors. To ensure that the switch works normally and to prolong its service lifetime, the following requirement s shoul d be met in terms of installation environment.

2.2.1 Temperature Requirements

To ensure the normal operation of a switch, the temperature in the room should be maintained within a proper range.

Table 2-1 Temperature requirements

Table 2-1 describes temperature requirements.

Temperature Range

Operating temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) Storage temperature –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to 158°F)

The higher the temperature, the greater the damage it will do to the switch. Long-lasting high temperature will speed up the aging process of the insulating materials, greatly lower the reliability of the switch, and therefore affect its service life seriously.

Caution:

After the switch is moved to a high-temperature location, if condensate appears on the switch, you must dry the switch before power-on, thus to avoid damaging interior components due to short circuit.

2.2.2 Humidity Requirements

To ensure the normal operation of a switch, the humidity in the equipm ent room should be maintained within a proper range.

Table 2-2 describes humidity requirements.

2-3

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 2 Installation Preparations

Table 2-2 Humidity requirements

Humidity Range

Operating humidity (noncondensing) 10% to 90% Storage humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95%

Long-lasting high humidity in the equipment room is prone to poor insulation or even leakage of the insulating material. Sometimes, the mechanical performance deterioration, the rustiness and corrosion of some metal parts are also more likely to occur.

If the relative humidity is too low, the captive screws may become loose due to the insulation washer contraction. Meanwhile, the electrostatic is likely to be produced in the dry environment, which will jeopardize the CMOS circuit of the switch.

2.2.3 Cleanness Requirements

Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of the switch. The indoor dust accum ula ted on the chassis can cause electrostatic adsorption, whi c h may result in the poor contact of the connector or metal contact point. This happens more frequently when indoor relative humidity is low, which will not onl y shorten the service life of the switch, but also cause communication failure.

The required specifications on dust content and particle diameter in an equipment room are shown in the following table.

Table 2-3 Limitation on dust content in equipment room

Mechanical active material Unit Content

Dust particle particles/m³

≤ 3 x 10 (No visible dust on desk in

three days)

Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm

Besides the dust specifications, the equipment room of the switch should al so meet the rigorous requirements for the content of salt, acid and sulfide in the air. These harmful gases could accelerate the metal erosion and the aging process of some parts. Incursion of harmful gases, su ch as SO

, H2S, NO2, NH3, and Cl2, should be prevented.

The specific limitation values of these harmful gases are given in the following table.

2-4

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 2 Installation Preparations

Table 2-4 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room

Gas Average (mg/m³) Max. (mg/m³)

SO2 0.3 1.0 H2S 0.1 0.5 NO2 0.004 0.15 NH Cl

1.0 3

0.1 0.3

2.2.4 EMS Requirements

Any possible interference sources, no matter whether outside or inside the system, affect the switch in use through capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic radiation, common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling or conducting line (power line, signalling line and transmission line etc). To prevent the interference, you should:

z Take effective measures against electrical net interference for power supply

system.

z Separate the working ground of the switch from the grounding device of the power

supply equipment or lightning-protection grounding device as far as possible.

z Keep the switch far away from the radio launcher, radar launcher, and

high-frequency devices working in the high current.

z Adopt electromagnetic shielding if necessary.

 Note:

If necessary, take electromagnetic shielding measures against the interference.

2.2.5 Grounding Requirements

A good groun ding system is not only the basis essential to the stable and reliable swit ch operation, but also an important guarantee of lightning protection, anti-interference a nd ESD-prevention. The user must provide good grounding system for the switch. The resistance between the chassis and the ground must be less than 1 ohm.

2.2.6 Power Supply Requirements

3-24

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 3 Switch Installation

Figure 3-26 Install FMTs

II. Introduction to fiber connector

 Note:

z When selecting a fiber network facility, make sure that the type of the connector and

the fiber match the adopted optical port.

z Before connecting the fiber, make sure that the receive-end optical power does not

exceed the optical module’s upper threshold of receiving optical power. Excessive receiving optical power is very likely to burn the optical module.

z All the megabit and gigabit optical modules available on the S9500 series are SFP

modules and all interfaces on SFP modules adopt LC connectors.

Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system. They allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging and maintenance more convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more flexible. Among various fiber connectors, only the LC connector is introduced here.

3-25

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 3 Switch Installation

Figure 3-27 LC connector

III. Precautions

z Be sure to install the dust cover if the optical port is not connected to a fiber

connector.

z Some invisible rays may be emitted from the optical port if the optical port is not

connected to a fiber connector or the dust cover is removed. Therefore, never stare at the optical port directly.

z Fiber connectors must be protected under safe and reliable outer packing, and b e

fitted with dust caps. Fiber connectors must be installed with dust caps when they are not in use. Take care not to scratch their end face. Replace the dust cap if it loose or polluted.

z Before connecting a fiber, use dustfree paper and absolute alcohol to clean the

end face of the fiber connector. You can brush the end face only in one direction. You also need to brush the end face of the other fiber connector.

z Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it. After a fiber is installed well, the

bend radius must be not less than 40 mm (the minimum dynamic bend radius is 20 D, and the minimum static bend radius is 10 D. D indicates the outer diameter of fiber jackets).

z If the fiber has to pass through a metallic board hole, the hole must have a sleek

and fully filleted surface (the filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm). When passing through a metallic board hole or bending along the acute side of mechanical parts, the fiber must wear jackets or cushions.

z Insert and remove a plug with care. Never exert a fierce force to the fiber or plug;

otherwise the plug may be damaged or the fiber may be broken. Never pull, press or extrude the fiber fiercely. For the allowed maximum tensile load and crush load, refer to

Table 3-4.

Table 3-4 Allowed maximum tensile force and crush load

Period of force Tensile load (N) Crush load (N/100 mm)

Short period Long term

150 500 80 100

Chapter 5 Switch Monitoring and Maintenance

5.1 Troubleshooting the Switch

Although the S9500 series have undergone a comprehensive and strict factory test before delivery, there might be some fault occurring due to improper installation and initial configuration. This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the S9500 series.

5.1.1 Troubleshooting the Console Terminal

If the system is normal after the Switch is powered on, the booting information will be displayed on the Console terminal. If the configuration system has failed, the Console terminal may give illegible output or nothing at all.

I. The terminal gives no displays after the Switch is powered on

In this case, you should check whether:

z The power system is working normally. z The SRPU is working normally. z The Console cable has been connected to the Console port on the SRPU.

If no problem has been found in the above checking, the symptom is very likely to be caused by the errors listed below.

z The Console cable is not connected to the right serial port, that is, t he port in use is

not the one configured on the terminal.

z There are Console terminal parameter errors. (According to the parameter setting

requirements, you should set the baud rate to 9600, data bits to 8, parity to None, stop bits to 1, flow control to None, and select VT100 as terminal emulation.)

z The Console cable is not in good condition.

II. The terminal gives illegible characters.

This symptom is very likely caused by a Console terminal setting error. In this case, check that you have set the baud rate to 9600, data bit s to 8, parity to None, stop bits to 1, flow control to None, and select VT100 as terminal emulation.

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 5 Switch Monitoring and Maintenance

5.1.2 Troubleshooting the PSU

Table 5-1 Description of the LEDs on PSU

LED Status Meaning

Steady ON

Power input is normal, and the power switch is in the ON shift.

Input

OFF

Power input is not normal or power input is not available.

Steady ON The output of the PSU is normal.

Output

OFF The output of the PSU is not normal. Steady ON The PSU is faulty.

FAIL

OFF The PSU works properly.

The following are PSU faults that may occur and the method s used for troubleshooting.

z The Input LED (green) and Output LED (green) stay ON, but the display power

command shows that the PSU is not in position (but the other PSU operates normally). Such a problem is likely caused because of the poor contact between the PSU and the backplane due to a badly seated PSU. In this case, switch off the power supply, loosen the captive screws on the PSU, push the PSU into the chassis a little bit, tighten the captive screws, and switch on the power supply to check that the normal state is resumed.

z The Input LED (green) and Output LED (green) are OFF. In this case, check that

the power cords are connected correctly, the power cords are in good condition, and the power switch has been put in the ON position.

z The Fail LED (red) is ON. In this case, check that the correct power voltage is in

use (i.e., 90 to 264 VAC, 50-60 Hz for AC PSU, and -36 to -72 VDC for DC PSU).

z The Fail LED (red) is ON. In this case, check that the air filter protecting the fan

tray is clean. Excessive dust accumulated on the air filter will block the fan tray from free ventilation and even lead to power supply failure.

 Note:

If you cannot solve the problem after going through the above checking steps, contact H3C technical support.

5.1.3 Troubleshooting the Fan Tray(s)

The S9500 series provide two LEDs on the fan tray. You can read them and know whether the fans are normal.

5-2

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 5 Switch Monitoring and Maintenance

Table 5-2 Description of fan tray LEDs

LED Status Meaning

RUN (Green)

Steady ON The fan tray works normally. OFF The fan tray is faulty. Steady ON The fan tray is faulty.

ALM (Red)

OFF The fan tray works normally.

 Note:

The ALM LED on the fan tray keeps ON for 2 to 3 seconds when the switch i s powered on.

If the RUN LED of the fan tray is OFF, make sure that:

z The fan tray has been well seated. z All the cables connecting the fan tray and the backplane have been correctly

connected and are in good condition.

z The fans are working normally. z The rotation of the fans has not been blocked. z The blank filler panels have been inserted into those LPU slots.

5.1.4 Troubleshooting LPUs

The S9500 series provide LPUX LEDs on the SRPU for the user to observe the state of these LPUs.

 Note:

z For the S9502, LPU 0 to LPU 2 correspond to Slots 1 to 3 respectively. z For the S9505, LPU 0 to LPU 4 correspond to Slots 2 to 6 respectively. z For the S9508/S9508V, LPU 0 to LPU 7 correspond to Slots 0 to 3 and Slots 6 to 9

respectively.

z For the S9512, LPU 0 to LPU 11 correspond to Slots 0 to 5 and Slots 8 to 13

respectively.

For the meanings of LEDs, refer to

Description of LPU LEDs.

5.2 Hardware Maintenance

5.2.1 Replacing a PSU

Caution:

z When installing or replacing a PSU while power is being supplied, you must take

care in the operation procedures and safety with electricity. Do not touch any exposed wires, terminals or any parts of the product marked with a dangerous voltage label to avoid bodily injury.

z The PSUs of the S9500 series are hot-swappable. Before removing a PSU, you

must turn off its power switch.

z If you do not want to install a PSU, insert a blank filler panel into the PSU slot for

dust-proofing.

The RUN LED is steadily on or is blinking fast when the card is booted. If the LED always blinks fast, the registration failed.

There is no alarm, or the card is out of position.

II. Upgrading software through console port (XModem)

z Brief introduction to XModem

XModem, a type of file transfer protocol, is broadly applied for its simplicity and good performance. It transmits files through serial interfaces, supporting 128 bytes and 1 KB

5-16

Installation Manual H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 5 Switch Monitoring and Maintenance

in terms of data unit, checksum and CRC in terms of checking mode, and multiple retransmissions (usually ten attempts) in the event that packet errors are found.

XModem completes transmission by the receiving program (receiver) and the sending program (sender). In XModem, the transmission begins with the sending of negoti ation characters from the receiver for the purpose of check mode negotiation. After passing the negotiation, the sender is allowed to send the first data packet. Upon the re ceipt of the complete packet, the receiver checks the packet using the agreed checking mode and will send an ACK if the packet has passed the check and a NAK if not. Receiving the ACK, the sender will send the next packet; receiving the NAK instead, the sender will retransmit the previously sent packet.

III. Upgrading software through management Ethernet port (TFTP)

z Introduction to TFTP

Trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) is well suited to the file transfer between a server and a client that do not need complex interaction.

In TFTP, the transmission is initiated by the client. When downloading a file, the client sends a read request packet to the TFTP server, receives the data packets from the server, and sends the ACK to the server. When uploading a file, the client sends a write request packet to the TFTP server, then sends the data packets to the server, and receives the ACK from the server. The TFTP transmission files have two forms, i.e., binary for program transmission and ASCII for text transmission.

5-19
