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

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get

caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.

Safety with electricity

• Clear the work area of possible hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables, missing

safety grounds, and moist floors.

• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at once in

case accident occurs.

• Unplug all the external cables (including power cables) before moving the chassis.

• Do not work alone when the switch has power.

• Always check that the power has been disconnected.

Safety with switch moving

To move an H3C S10500 switch, follow these steps:

• Remove all the external cables (including the power cables) before moving the chassis.

• Use at least two persons to move the switch, and use a mechanical lift if necessary.

• Move the switch carefully.

CAUTION:

• When moving the switch, hold the handles on the chassis.

• Do not hold the handle of the fan tray, power module,

or 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.

ESD prevention

To prevent the electric component from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD), adhere to the following requirements:

• Ground the switch properly. For how to ground your switch, see the chapter “Installing the switch.”

• Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it is well grounded when installing field

replaceable units (FRUs). For how to use an ESD-preventive wrist strap, see the chapter “Installing modules.”

• Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.

• Put cards in an ESD-preventive bag.

Safety with laser

The H3C S10500 Switch Series are class 1 laser products.

WARNING!

The laser inside the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.

Examining the installation site

The H3C S10500 Switch Series can only be used indoors. To ensure that the switch works properly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements.

Weight support requirements

Evaluate the floor loading as compared to the actual weight of the switch and its accessories (such as cabinet, chassis, cards, and power modules, and make sure that the floor can support the weight of the cabinet and the switch chassis. For more information, see the chapter “Appendix A Technical specifications.”

IMPORTANT:

When evaluating the floor loading, consider switch capacity expansion (for example, installing a new card) in the future.

Temperature requirements

To ensure the normal operation of the switch, ensure that the room temperature meets the requirements described in Table 2.

Table 2 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)

CAUTION:

If condensation appears on the switch when you move it to a high-temperature environment, dry the switch before powering it on to avoid short circuits.

Humidity requirements

Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table 3.

• Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, 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

electrostatic discharge (ESD), which causes the circuits to fail.

Table 3 Humidity requirements

Humidity Range

Operating humidity (noncondensing) 10% to 95%

Storage humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95%

Cleanness requirements

Maintain appropriate cleanness in your equipment room.

• Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your switch. Dust buildup on the chassis may 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 4 sh

ows the dust concentration limit in the equipment room.

• The equipment room should meet strict limits on salts, acids and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and

premature aging of components, as shown in Table 5.

EMI requirements

All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, perform the following steps:

• Take measures against interference from the power grid.

• Do not use the switch together with the grounding equipment or lightning-prevention equipment of

power equipment, and keep the switch far away from them.

• Keep the switch far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high

frequency or high current.

• Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

Grounding requirements

Using a good grounding system to protect your switch against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD is essential to the operating reliability of your switch. Make sure that the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm. For more information about the grounding methods of the S10500 Switch Series, see the chapter “Installing the switch.”

Power supply requirements

Perform the following steps to satisfy the power supply requirements of the S10500 Switch Series:

1. Calculate the system power consumption

The system power consumption of an S10500 switch depends on the card type and quantity, and fan tray power consumption. For more information about the system power consumption of the S10500 Switch Series, see the chapter “Appendix A Technical specifications.”

2. Select power modules according to the system power consumption

To ensure proper operation of the switch, make sure that the maximum output power of the power module that supplies power to the switch is higher than the system power consumption of the switch. After determining the system power consumption of the switch, you can select appropriate number of power modules according to the power consumption requirement of your switch. For more information, see the chapter “Appendix B FRUs and compatibility matrixes.”

3. Check that the power supply system on the installation site satisfies the input requirements of the

power modules and parameters such as rated voltage.

Cooling requirements

For adequate heat dissipation, plan the installation site according to the airflow of your switch, and adhere to the following requirements:

• Leave a clearance of at least 10 cm (3.94 in) around the air intake and exhaust vents.

• The cabinet for installing the switch has a good cooling system.

• The installation site has a good cooling system.
