 Note:

z The electrical ports of S5600-26C-PWR/S5600-50C-PWR are capable of supply ing

-48 VDC power to remote PDs (powered devices, such as S2016C, S2008B, S2016B, S2016-EI, and so on).

z The S5600-26C-PWR/S5600-50C-PWR adopts PoE power module, which provides

AC/DC power to PD devices. When delivering the AC input, the module can supply up to 300 W power. If more power is needed, use the DC input or both AC and DC inputs to ensure the operation of all the connected devices.

z The S5600-26C-PWR/S5600-50C-PWR can also adopt AC/DC dual input power

module. In this case, however, the two types of switches have no PoE function. And they function exactly like the S5600-26C and S5600-50C.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

2.1 Safety Precautions

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

z Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power plug of the switch first. Do not clean

the switch with wet cloth or liquid.

z Do not place the switch near water or any damp area. Prevent water or moisture

from entering the switch chassis.

z Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be

damaged severely in case of a fall.

z Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of

the switch free of obstruction.

z Make sure that the operating voltage is the same one labeled on the switch. z Do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when electrical hazards

are present to avoid electrical shocks.

z When replacing interface cards, wear ESD-protective gloves to avoid damaging

the cards.

2.2 Installation Site

The S5600 series must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a tabletop/workbench, but make sure:

z Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents for ventilation. z The rack or table/workbench has a good ventilation system. z The rack is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories. z The rack or table/workbench is well earthed.

To ensure normal operation and long service life of your VG, inst all it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsections.

2.2.1 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 corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is two 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 CMOS circuits on the device. High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accel erates

2-1

Installation Manual H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

aging of insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life of your switch.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of dif ferent models, refer to se ction S5600 Series Technical Specifications.

2.2.2 Cleanness

Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your device. The dust accumulated on the chassis can be adsorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal connectors or metal contact points. This cannot only shorten the service life of your device but also cause communications failures. When the relative indoor humidity is low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. The contents of the dust must be limited as shown in the

Table 2-1 Dust content limits in an equipment room

Substance Unit Content

Dust Particles/m³

Remark: the diameter of a dust particle ≥ 5 μm

Table 2-1:

≤ 3 X 10

(No visible dust on the tabletop for three days)

1.8

Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the harmful gases that can accelerate the erosion and aging of metals, such as salts, acids, and sulfides, as shown in the 2-2.

Table 2-2 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room

Gas Maximum (mg/m3)

SO2 0.2 H2S 0.006 NH3 0.05 Cl2 0.01

2.2.3 Electromagnetic Susceptibility

The operation of your switch can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling, and leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires. To eliminate the interferences, make sure to:

Table

2-2

Installation Manual H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

z For the AC power supply that adopts TN system, use a monophase three-line

power socket with Protection Earth (PE) to effectively filter interference from the power grid.

z Keep the device far from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and

high-frequency devices.

z Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary, for example, use shielded

interface cables.

z Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged

by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

2.2.4 Laser Safety

The S5600 Series Ethernet Switches are class-1 laser devices. If the optical boards on your switch are operating, do not stare into the optical ports

because the laser light emitted by the optical fiber can hurt your retina.

Caution:

Staring into the laser beam produced by the fiber can hurt your eyes.

Caution:

z Before powering on the switch, connect the ground wire. z The DC power cable should be less than 3 meters long. z The S5600-26C-PWR/S5600-50C-PWR must use the external PoE PSU

recommended by H3C as its DC input, but not the -48VDC power supply generally available in the equipment room. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.

3.4.3 Connecting the Ground Wire

Caution:

Correctly connecting the switch ground wire is crucial to the lightning protection and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of a switch.

The power input end of the switch is connected with a noise filter , whose central gro und is directly connected to the chassis, forming the chassis ground (commonly known as

3-13

Installation Manual H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Installing the Switch

PGND). This chassis ground must be securely connected to the earth ground so that the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the ground, enhancing the EMS capability of the switch.

Ground your switch as follows:

z When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the

yellow/green ground wire 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 a building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The ground wire of the switch should be connected to the grounding device for the equipment room).

Installation Manual H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 5 Loading Boot ROM and Host Software

Chapter 5 Loading Boot ROM and Host Software

Switch software loading through serial ports in the past is time consuming and cannot be operated remotely. To address these problems, TFTP and FTP are used to allow software and file downloading through Ethernet ports. The following subsections describe how to load software and files in these two approaches.

5.1 Introduction to Loading Approaches

To load software remotely, use FTP o r TFTP. To load software at the local, use XModem at the console port or TFTP/FTP at an

Ethernet port.

 Note:

Ensure that the Boot ROM and host software versions that you download can work with each other.

5.2 Loading Software Locally

If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load Boot ROM and host software locally. But before that, make sure they are correctly connected.

 Note:

The steps that you should take to load Boot ROM program and host software are the same, except that during Boot ROM program loading you need to press <Ctrl +U> after accessing the Boot ROM menu and will view different prompt information. Boot ROM loading procedures are described below for example.

5.2.2 Loading Software from Console Port Using XModem

I. Introduction to XModem

XModem is a file transfer protocol widely used for its simplicity and good performance. XModem transfers files through the console port, supporting data p acket s of 128 bytes and 1 KB. With respect to reliability, it supports checksum, CRC, and the error packet retransmission mechanism. Normally, the maximum number of retransmission attempts is ten.

XModem transfer is completed by receiving and sending programs together. Receiving program initiates packet checking method negotiation by sending the negotiation character. If negotiation passes, the sending program starts packet transfer. Upon receipt of a complete packet, the receiving program checks it using the agreed-upon check method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends an acknowledgement character; if the check fails, it sends a reject character. Upon receipt of the acknowledgement, the sending program continues to send the next packet; upon receipt of the reject, it retransmits the packet.

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 po wer on the cabinet, workbench or the wall of equipment room.

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.

Normal operation indicator (green): On means that the arrester works norm a lly . Other wise, it means that the protection circuit has been damaged.

Installation Manual H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch

Caution:

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

power.

z 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.

z Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You should correctly locate the probl em,

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.

z 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.

z 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.

z 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.
