1.7 ONU Modules
When equipped with one or two ONU modules, the S3100-C-SI and
S3100-C-EPON-EI series can serve as ONU devices.
module support of the S3100 series.
To avoid any device impairment and body injury resulting from improper use, please
take the following precautions:
zBefore cleaning the switch, disconnect the power. Do not clean the switch with wet
cloth or liquid.
zKeep the switch away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
zDo not place the switch on an unstable case or desk, because the switch might be
damaged severely in case of a fall.
z Keep the switch room drafty and the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction.
z The switch can operate normally only under correct voltage input. Make sure that
the operating voltage is consistent with that labeled on the switch.
zTo prevent electric shock, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating,
and do not open the chassis arbitrarily even when the switch is powered off.
zBefore changing interface cards, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to prevent
the cards from being damaged by electrostatic discharge.
2.2 Requirements on Environment
S3100 Series Ethernet Switches must be used indoors. When you install your switch in
a cabinet or on a desk, you must ensure:
zEnough space is reserved near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the
switch for heat dissipation of the switc h chassis.
z The cabinet or the workbench takes good ventilation and heat dissipation system.
z The cabinet or the desk is solid enough to bear the weight of the switch and the
accessories.
zThe cabinet or the desk is well grounded.
To ensure normal operation and to prolong the life span of the switch, the following
requirements on the install ation site must also be satisfied.
2.2.1 Temperature/Humidity Requirements
You should keep your equipment room within the proper temperature and humidity
ranges to ensure the normal operation and working life of your switch. If the humidity in
the equipment room is too high for a long time, it may decrease the insulation attribute
of insulating material or even cause electric leakage of insulating material, and,
sometimes, may change the mechanical performance of material and cause the
rustiness and corrosion of metal parts. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive
screws may become loose due to the shrinking of insulation washers; in addition,
electrostatic is more likely to be produced in a dry environment, which may damage the
circuit of the switch. High temperature may cause even greater damage to the switch.
High temperature for a long time will speed up the aging of insulation material, greatly
lower the reliability of the switch and greatly reduce the life span of the switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of dif ferent models, refer to se ction
Technical Specifications”.
“
2.2.2 Cleanness Requirements
Dust is a potential hazard to the safe operation of the switch. Fallin g on the equi pment,
it may cause electrostatic adsorption, and hence result in poor contact of the metal
connectors or connection points. This is more likely to happen when the indoor relative
humidity is low; in this case, it may not only shorten the device’s working life, but also
incur communication failure. The requirements on dust content an d particle diam eter in
the equipment room are shown in the following table:
Table 2-1 Requirements on dust content in the equipment room
Physical active
substance
Dust particle parti cle/m³
Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5µm
Unit Content
≤ 3 × 10
4
(No visible dust
on desk in three days)
1.5
Besides the requirements on dust, rigorous req uirements are also set on the content of
chloride, acid, and sulfide in the air of the equipment room. These kinds of harmful gas
will accelerate metal corrosion and aging of certain parts. The equipment room should
be protected from the intrusion of harmful gases such as SO
, H2S, NH3 and Cl2. The
2
limits of these kinds of harmful gas are shown in the following table.
Table 2-2 Limits on harmful gas in the equipment room
A switch in use may be affected by the interference from outside the system by way of
capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic radiation, public
impedance (including the grounding system) coupling or conducting line (power line,
signaling line, and transmission line). Therefore, you should pay attention to the
following:
zIf AC supply system is TN system, AC power socket should be a single-phase
three-line power socket with Protection Earth (PE) so that the filter circuit on the
equipment can effectively filter out the interference coming from the power su ppl y
system.
zKeep the switch far away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and
high-frequency heavy-current devices.
zAdopt electromagnetic shielding measure if necessary. For example, you can
adopt shielded interface cable.
zWire interface cables indoors. Do not wire cables outdoors in case that
over-voltage and over-current damage the device.
2.2.4 Laser Usage Security
S3100 Series Ethernet Switches are category-1 laser equipment.
Caution:
When an optional interface card of the S3100 Series Ethernet Switches is operating,
avoid staring into the optical interface because the high-energy laser beam emitted
from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.
2.3 Installation Tools
z Phillips screwdriver
z Flat-blade screwdriver
z ESD-preventive wrist strap
These installation tools are not shipped with S3100 Series Ethernet Switches. You will
have to prepare them beforehand.

Caution:
On a mounting screw of the chassis of the H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Swit ches, there
is a seal labeled with H3C. You must keep it intact before asking the agent to maintain
the switch. You must get the permission of the local agent before you can open the
chassis. Otherwise, you will be responsible for irreversible damages caused by your
operations.

H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Installation
3.3.3 Connecting Grounding Cable
Caution:
You should properly connect the switch grounding cable since it is crucial to the
lightning protection and electromagnetic shield (EMS) of your 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 so-called chassis ground (commonly
known as PGND). This chassis ground must be secu rely connected to the earth so that
the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth, enhancing the
EMS capability of the switch.
Ground the switch as follows:
zWhen a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the
yellow-green grounding cable 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 your building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The grounding cabl e
of the switch should be connected to the construction engineering ground of the
equipment room.)
Figure 3-25 Ground the switch through a grounding strip
zWhen there is no grounding strip but there is cement floor nearby where a
grounding body is allowed to be buried, hammer an angle steel/steel pipe no
shorter than 0.5 m (19.7 in.) into the earth, with the yellow-green grounding cable
of the switch welded onto the angle steel/steel pipe and the jointing point being
processed against erosion.

H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 5 Boot ROM and Host Software Loading
Chapter 5 Boot ROM and Host Software Loading
Traditionally, the loading of switch software is accomplished through the serial port.
This approach is slow, inconvenient, and cannot be used for remote real-time loading.
To resolve these problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are introdu ced i nto the switch.
With these modules, the software and files can be loaded through Ethernet port
conveniently.
This chapter introduces how to load Boot ROM and host software into a switch locally
and how to do this remotely.
5.1 Introduction to Loading Approaches
You can load the software locally by using:
z XModem via console port
z TFTP via Ethernet port
z FTP via Ethernet port
You can load the software remotely by using:
z FTP
z TFTP
Note:
Boot ROM software version should be compatible with the host sof tware versio n when
you load the Boot ROM and host software.
5.2 Local Software Loading
If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load Boot ROM and host
software locally.
Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the
switch to ensure the successful loading.

5.2.2 Loading Software Using XModem Through Console Port
I. Introduction to XModem
XModem is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and good
performance. XModem transfers files via console port. It supports two types of data
packets (128 bytes and 1 KB), two check methods (checksum and CRC), and error
packet retransmission mechanism (generally the maximum number of retransmission
attempts is ten).
The XModem transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a receiving
program and a sending program: The receiving program sends a negotiation packet to
negotiate a packet check method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to
transmit data packets. When receiving a complete packet, the receiving program
checks the packet using the agreed method. If the check succeeds, the receiving
program sends an acknowledgement packet and the sending program proceeds to
send another packet; otherwise, the receiving program sends a negative
acknowledgement packet and the sending program retransmits the p acket.

6.1 Software Loading Failure
If software loading fails, the system keeps running in original version.
In this case, check if the physical ports are properly connected:
z If not, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure.
z If so, check the loading procedure information displayed on the HyperTerminal for
input errors. If there is any input error, restart the loading procedure with correct
input. For example:
1) When using XModem, verify that you have reset the bits per second of the
HyperTerminal to 9600 bps after loading the software with a bits per second other
than 9600 bps;
2) When using TFTP, verify that you have provided:
z Correct server and switch IP addresses,
z Correct name of the software to be loaded,
z Correct working path of TFTP server;
3) When using FTP, verify that you have provided:
z Correct server and switch IP addresses,
z Correct name of the software to be loaded,
z Correct username and password.
If software loading fails but there are neither physical connection problems nor input
errors, please contact your agent for help.

indicator on the front panel. If it is in normal operation, the POWER indicator should
stay on. Otherwise, please check that:
z The switch power cable is correctly connected.
z The power input to the switch matches the requirement as labeled on the switch.
6.4 Configuration System Failure
After the switch is powered on and the system is normal, the booting information will be
displayed on the configuration terminal. If the configuration system has any faults, there
will not be any screen display at the configuration terminal or the displayed characters
will be totally illegible.
I. Troubleshooting when there is no terminal display
If there is no output information after the configuration is powered on, please check
that:
z The power supply is normal

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 me ans that the arrester works norm ally. Otherwise, it
means that the protection circuit has been damaged.

H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch
Caution:
zMake sure that the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for
power.
zAfter 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.
zPay 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.
