Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Preface
H3C S5100 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as
the H3C S5100 series) are Gigabit Ethernet switching products
developed by H3C Technology Co., Ltd. The H3C S5100 series
provide a variety of service features. The H3C S5100 series are
designed as convergence and access devices for intranets and
metropolitan area networks (MANs), and can also be used for
connecting data center server clusters.
The H3C S5100 series come in two series: S5100-SI and
S5100-EI, which are available in the models listed in
Table 1-1:
An SFP port and its corresponding 10/100/1000Base-T
autosensing Ethernet port form a Combo port. That is, only one of the
two ports forming the Combo port can be used at a time.
Table 1-2
shows the mapping relations between the ports forming the Combo
port.

The S5100-8P-PWR-EI, S5100-16P-PWR-EI,
S5100-26C-PWR-EI, and S5100-50C-PWR-EI Ethernet switches
provide over-temperature protection. With this mechanism, the switch
disables the PoE feature on all its ports for self-protection when its
internal temperature exceeds the PoE protection temperature, and
restores the PoE feature on all its ports when its internal temperature
drops below the PoE restoration temperature.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
To avoid any device impairment 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.
Page 28

Chapter 2
Preparing fo
r

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
described 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 electricity may be produced in a dry
environment to jeopardize the circuits on the device.
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
1.3 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, especially, 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.

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
2
, H2S, NH3, and Cl2. For the specific requirement,
see the following table.

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, 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.

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
The installation methods of a switch depend on the depth and

Page 59
Quick Start
H3C S5100-SI/EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Installing the Switch
3-28
Caution:
You should properly connect the switch grounding wire 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 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.)

Power (Socket Strip with Lightning
Protection)
Caution:
No lightning arrester is shipped with the switch. You need to purchase
one if needed.
If an outdoor AC power cord is to be directly led to the switch,
connect the lightning arrester for AC power (socket strip with lightning
protection) before you plug the AC power cord into the switch. This
guards the switch against lightning strikes. You can use cable ties and
screws to fasten the lightning arrester for AC power on the cabinet,
workbench, or the wall of equipment room. When the lightning arrester
is used, AC power goes through the lightning arrester before being
supplied to the switch.

Caution:
z Make sure that the lightning arrester is well grounded before using
it for power.
z After the AC power cord of the switch is plugged into the socket of
lightning arrester, when the green LED is on and the red LED does
not light, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and
the function of lightning protection has taken effect.
z If the red LED is on, make sure you correctly determine whether it
is because the ground wire of the arrester is not well grounded or
because the live and zero wires are connected in reverse direction.
Use the following checking methods. When the red LED is on, use
a multimeter to examine polarity at the power socket of the arrester.
If it is the same as 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 gives alarms, it means that the arrester is
not well grounded yet.
