Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

2.1 Safety Precautions

T o avoid any device imp airment or bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these rules:

z Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power plug from 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 as that 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-preventive gloves to avoid damaging

the cards.

2.2 Installation Site

The S5100 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 an S5100 switch, install it in an environment that meets the requirements descri bed in the following subsections.

2.2.1 Temperature/Humidity

You need to maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room.

z Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage,

mechanical property changes, and corrosion.

z If the relative humidity is two low, captive screws may become loose as the result

of contraction of insulation washers and static elect ricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the circuits on the device.

Page 45

Installation Manual H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

2-2

z High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates aging

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

For the detailed temperature/humidity requirements for the products, see section

1.5

System Features of the S5100 Series.

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. When the relative indoor humidity is low , espe cially , electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. This can not only shorten the service life of your device but also cause communications failures. The following table lists the dust concentration limit.

Table 2-1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance Unit Concentration limit

Dust Particles/m³

≤ 3 × 10

(No visible dust on the

tabletop for three days)

Note: The dust particle size is greater than or equal to 5 μm

Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the content of harmful substances that can accelerate the corrosion and aging of metals, such as salts, acids, and sulfides in the air in the equipment room, and the equipment room must be protected against ingression of harmful gases such as SO

, H2S, NH3, and Cl2. For the specific

requirement, see the following table.

Table 2-2 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room

Gas Maximum concentration (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,

Page 46

Installation Manual H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

2-3

and leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires). To eliminate the interferences, ensure the following:

z For the AC power supply that adopts TN system, use a single-phase three-wire

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 Safety in Use of Laser

The S5100 series are class-1 laser devices. When the extended optical interface cards 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.

2.3 Installation Tools

z Flathead screwdrivers z Phillips screwdrivers z ESD-preventive wrist strap

Caution:

The installation tools are not provided with the S5100 series.

Page 47

Chapter 3 Installing the Switch

Caution:

When you ask your sales agent to maintain the switch, you must ensure that the dismantlement-preventive seal on a mounting screw of the switch chassis is intact. If you want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you will bear any consequence resulted from your actions without permission.

3.1 Rack-Mounting the Switch

You can mount an H3C S5100 switch into a 19-inch standard rack in one of the following four ways:

z Use front mounting ears z Use front mounting ears and rear mounting ears z Use front mounting ears and a tray z Use front mounting ears and guide rails

3.5.3 Connecting Grounding Wire

Caution:

You should properly connect the switch grounding wire sin ce 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 ground is directly connected to the chassis, forming the so-called chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). This chassis ground must be securely 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: When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the

yellow-green grounding 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 your building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The grounding wire of the switch should be connected to the construction engineering ground of the equipment room.)

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 solve these problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are introduced into the switch. With these modules, the software and files can be loaded through Ethernet port conveniently.

This chapter introduces how to load The Boot ROM and host software into a switch locally and how to do this remotely.

5.1 Introduction to Loading Modes

You can load the software locally by using:

z XModem through console port z TFTP through Ethernet port z FTP through Ethernet port

You can load the software remotely by using:

z FTP z TFTP

 Note:

The Boot ROM software version should match the host software version 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 The Boot ROM and host software locally.

Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the switch to insure successful software loading.

XModem is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and good performance. XModem transfers files through 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 n egotiation p acket 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 packet.

Chapter 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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 the ports are not properly connected, reconnect them correctly and restart the

loading procedure.

z If the ports are properly connected, 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, when u sing XModem, verify that you have reset the baud rate of the HyperTerminal to 9600 bps after loading the software with a baud rate other than 9600 bps; when using TFTP, verify that you have specified the correct server and switch IP addresses, the correct name of the software to be loaded and the correct working path of TFTP server; when using FTP, verify that you have specified the correct server and switch IP addresses, the correct name of the software to be loaded and the correct username and password.

If software loading fails but there are neither physical connection problems nor input errors, please contact your agent for help.

6-2

Select 7, and then restart the switch. After the switch is restarted, the configuration file will be skipped.

6.2.2 Missing Boot ROM Password

Please contact your switch dealer.

6.3 Power Supply Failure

You can check whether the power system of the switch fails by viewing the PWR LED on the front panel. When the power supply system functions normally, the PWR LED should stay on. Otherwise, please check whether

z The switch power cord is properly 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 whether:

z The power supply is normal z The console cable is properly connected

If no problems are found after the above-mentioned items have been checked, the cause may lie in the console cable or the settings of the terminal (such as hyper terminal) parameters. Please perform the corresponding check.

II. Troubleshooting when the terminal display is illegible

If there is illegible display at the configuration terminal, the cause might lie in the parameter setting error at the terminal (such as HyperTerminal). Verify the following terminal parameter (such as hyper terminal) settings:

z Bits per second: 9600 z Data bits: 8 z Parity: none z Stop bits: 1 z Flow control: none z Terminal emulation: VT100
