• Two power frames at the top, and each power frame can accommodate up to six power modules.

• Two horizontally oriented fan trays at the rear. For the ventilation inside the chassis, see Figure 7.

Backplane

The backplane of an S12500 switch is located inside the chassis. It provides high-speed data switching between switching fabric modules and line cards, and exchanges management and control signals between MPUs and line cards/switching fabric modules. The backplane provides the following capabilities:

• Provides communication channels for signal exchange between cards.

• Supports hot-swapping of cards.

• Identifies card type.

• Supplies power to MPUs, line cards, switching fabric modules, fan trays, and power modules when

connected to the power frame.

• Provides monitoring channels to monitor power module status.

Fan tray

A fan tray contains fan units. The dimension of each fan unit is 120 × 120 × 38 mm (4.72 × 4.72 ×1.50 in).

Both the S12508 and the S12518 use an upper fan tray at the top and a lower fan tray at the bottom. Each fan tray comprises 12 fan units and one fan monitoring board.

S12500 fan trays provide the following functions:

• Effective heat dissipation and single-point of failure protection.

• Status monitoring, including fan rotation speed monitoring and fault alarming.

• Fan speed can be controlled by the MPU or automatically adjusted based on temperature. The

S12508 and S12518 have four groups of fans. Speed adjustment is done on a per-group basis to decrease noise and improve energy efficiency.

• Each fan tray has two LEDs on the front panel to show its operating status.

• Hot swappable. The fans receive DC power from the backplane, and are hot swappable.

CAUTION:

The S12508 and S12518 use different fan trays, and do not support the intermixing of fan trays.

Figure 5 shows the S12508 fan tray. The physical view of the S12518 fan tray is similar.

Preparing for installation

Safety recommendations

To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

General safety recommendations

• Take adequate safety measures to avoid injury and switch damage. For example, wear an

ESD-preventive wrist strap.

• Make sure that the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.

• Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.

• Do not place the switch on a moist area and avoid liquid surrounding the switch.

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

• Move the switch and heavy components (such as the power supplies or chassis) with other people

rather than doing that alone.

Electricity safety

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

safety grounds, and wet 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.

ESD prevention

CAUTION:

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:

• Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing components, especially the electronic printed

circuit boards.

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

• Check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap for safety. The resistance reading should be in the

range of 1 to 10 megohm (Mohm) between human body and the ground.

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.

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 with the alligator clips.

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

Figure 15 Use an ESD-preventive wrist strap

Switch moving

When you move an H3C S12500 switch, note the following guidelines:

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

• For personal safety, have several persons to move the switch carefully.

• When moving the switch, hold the handles at both sides of the chassis. Do not hold the plastic panel

of the chassis, the handle of the fan tray, 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.

WARNING!

For personal safety, at least four people are required to move an S12518 switch.

Laser safety

The H3C S12500 switches are Class 1 laser devices.

WARNING!

Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li

ht emitted from the optical fiber

may hurt your eyes.

Examining the installation site

The H3C S12500 Routing 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

Evaluate the floor loading as compared to the actual weight of the switch and its accessories (such as cabinet, chassis, cards, and power supply units), and make sure that the floor can support the weight of the cabinet and the switch chassis.

TIP:

When you evaluate the floor loading, consider router

capacity expansion (for example, installing a ne

card) in the future.

Temperature

To ensure the normal operation of the switch, make sure that the room temperature meets the requirements described in Table 8.

Table 8 Temperature r

equirements

Temperature Range

Operating temperature

Long term: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) Two hours: –10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F) (no more than 96

hours of continuous operation in less than 15 days in one year)

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

Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table 9.

Table 9 Humidity requirements

Humidity Range

Operating humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95%

Storage humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95%

Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion. Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including loose captive screws and circuit failure.

Cleanness

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 10 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance Concentration limit (particles/cu m)

Dust particles ≤ 3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)

NOTE:

Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 μm

The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table 11.

0.1 0.3

EMI

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 the grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, take the following actions:

• If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to

filter interference from the power grid.

• Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency

devices.

• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.

• Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or

overcurrent caused by lightning strikes.

Grounding

Using a good grounding system to protect your switch against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD is essential to the operating reliability of your switch.
