Safety recommendations

Safety symbols

When reading this document, note the following symbols:
WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or
followed can result in personal injury.
CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or
followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software.

General safety recommendations

Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
Unplug all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassis.

Electricity safety

Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at
once in case accident occurs. Disconnect the power cord of the router if necessary.
Make sure the router is correctly grounded.
Do not open or close the chassis cover when the router is powered on.
Correctly connect the interface cables of the router.
Use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
Do not work alone when the router has power.
Always make sure the power has been disconnected during the installation and replacement
procedures.

Examining the installation site

The router can only be used indoors. To make sure the router operates correctly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements.
1
Page 9

Temperature and humidity

Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room at acceptable levels.
Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts.
Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and
even ESD, which causes the circuits to fail.
A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the aging of
insulation materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the router.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the router, see Table 1.
Table 1
Temperature and humidity requirements
Temperature Humidity
0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) 5% to 90% (noncondensing)

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 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m
Dust particles
NOTE:
Dust particle diameter 5 µm
The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.

To attach an ESD 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.
3. Secure the wrist strap lock and the alligator clip lock together.
4. Attach the alligator clip to the rack grounding terminal.
5. Make sure the rack is correctly grounded.
EMI
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) might be coupled from the source to the router through the following coupling mechanisms:
Capacitive coupling
Inductive coupling
Radiative coupling
Common impedance coupling
Conductive coupling
To prevent EMI, take the following actions:
Take measures against interference from the power grid.
Do not use the router together with the grounding equipment or lightning-prevention equipment
of power equipment, and keep the router far away from them.
Keep the router far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high
frequency or high current.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Lightning protection

Replacement procedure

IMPORTANT:
The barcode on the router chassis contains product information that must be provided to local sales agent when you return a faulty router for service.
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.
Always wear an ESD wrist strap when you perform a replacement procedure.

Replacing a Micro SD card

CAUTION:
The router supports hot swapping of Micro SD cards. Before hot-swapping a Micro SD card,
execute the umount command to avoid SD card damage and data loss.
To avoid damaging the Micro SD card slot, do not use excessive force when you install a Micro SD card.
To replace a Micro SD card:
1. Remove the screw on the cover over the Micro SD card slot and then remove the cover.
2. Push the Micro SD card horizontally to release it. The SD card will spring out from the slot.
3. Remove the Micro SD card from the slot.
Keep the removed Micro SD card for future use.
4. Install a new Micro SD card or install the slot cover if no new card is to be installed. For the
installation procedure, see "Installing a Micro SD card."

Replacing a transceiver module

1. Gently open the clasp on the transceiver module. If the clasp is obstructed and you cannot use
your finger to open it, use a pair of flat-head tweezers to open it.
2. Hold the clasp and pull the transceiver module slowly out of the fiber port.
3. Insert a dust plug into the transceiver module port and keep the removed transceiver module
secure.
4. Install a new transceiver module or insert a dust plug into the fiber port if you are not to install a
new transceiver module.

Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT:
The barcode on the router chassis contains product information that must be provided to local sales agent when you return a faulty router for service.
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.

Power supply system failure

Symptom

The router cannot be powered on. The system LED is off.

Solution

To resolve the issue:
1. Verify that the power cord of the router is correctly connected to the router and the power
source.
2. Verify that the power source is operating correctly.
3. Verify that the power cord is in good condition.
4. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Configuration terminal issues

If the configuration environment setup is correct, the configuration terminal displays boot information when the router is powered on. If the setup is incorrect, the configuration terminal displays nothing or garbled text.

No terminal display

Symptom
The configuration terminal displays nothing when the router is powered on.
Solution
To resolve the issue:
1. Verify that the power supply system is operating correctly.
2. Verify that the console cable is correctly connected.
3. Verify that the console cable is connected to the serial port that is configured for the
configuration terminal.
4. Verify that the configuration terminal parameters are configured as follows:
{ Baud rate—9600 { Data bits—8 { Parity—none { Stop bits—1 { Flow control—none
21
Page 29
{ Terminal emulation—VT100
5. Verify that the console cable is in good condition.
6. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.

Garbled terminal display

Symptom
The configuration terminal displays garbled characters when the router is powered on.
Solution
Verify that the Data bits field is set to 8 for the configuration terminal. If the Data bits field is set to 5 or 6, the configuration terminal displays garbled characters.

No response from the serial port

Symptom
No boot information is displayed on the configuration terminal when the router starts up or restarts up.
Solution
Verify that the serial cable is in good condition and the serial port settings are correct.

Restoring the factory settings

Scenario 1

Symptom
When you replace the router, the router password is lost. As a result, you cannot log in to the router and do not know the router configuration.
Solution
Because the router is replaced, you do not need to save the configuration of the router. In this case,
you can press the RESET button for more than 4 seconds to reboot the router and restore the factory
settings. Then, you can use the username and password shipped with the router to log in to the router.
When the router configuration must be saved and you have a console cable, you can log in to the router through the BootWare menu.

Scenario 2

Symptom
Solution
After the configuration is modified, the network connectivity is lost. When you check the configuration, the configuration is very complicated and it is hard to locate the errors. In this case, you must configure the router again.
If you have not saved any configuration, you can reboot the router by pressing the RESET button for
a short time or power off the router.
22
Page 30
If you have saved some configurations, you can use the CLI to delete the configuration file or press
the RESET button for more than 4 seconds to restore the factory settings.

Scenario 3

Symptom
The router crashes.
Solution
Press the RESET button for a short time to reboot the router.

Reset button usage guidelines

You can use the button to reboot the system or restore the factory settings.
Press the RESET button for a short time to reboot the router.
Press the RESET button for more than 4 seconds to reboot the router and restore the factory
settings.
