Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
To avoid any device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe
these rules:
z Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power plug of the switch first. Do not clean
the switch with wet cloth or liquid.
z Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. 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 the voltage 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 S5500-SI series must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on
a workbench, but make sure:
z Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents for ventilation.
z The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.
z The rack is sturdy enough to support the device and its accessories.
z The rack or workbench is well earthed.
To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an
environment that meets the requirements descri bed in the following subsections.
2.2.1 Temperature/Humidity
You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
Long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property changes, and metal corrosion. However, 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. High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accel erates
Page 32
Installation Manual
H3C S5500-SI Complete Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
2-2
aging of insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life of
your switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of diff erent models, refer to secti on
1.4
“
System Specifications of the S5500-SI 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. Especially wh en the indoor relati ve humidity is low,
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 x 10
4
(no visible dust on the
tabletop within three days)
Note: The dust particle size ≥ 5 μm.
Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the content of harmful substances in the air
that can accelerate the corrosion and aging of metals, such as chloride, acid, and
sulfide 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 specific requirements,
see the following table.
Table 2-2 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room
Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
SO
2
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,
and leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires). To eliminate the
interferences, pay attention to the following:
Page 33
Installation Manual
H3C S5500-SI Complete Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
2-3
z As the AC power system is a 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 Laser Safety
The S5500-SI series are Class 1 laser devices.
When the extended optical interface cards on the S5500-SI series are operating, d o not
stare into the optical ports because the laser light emitted by the optical fiber may hurt
your retina.
Caution:
Staring into the laser beam produced by the fiber may hurt your eyes.
2.3 Installation Tools
z Flathead screwdriver
z Phillips screwdriver
z ESD-preventive wrist strap
Caution:
The installation tools are not shipped with the S5500-SI series.

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 H3C switch chassi s 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
3.1.1 Cabinet Mounting
You can install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet in one of the following four
ways:
z Use front mounting ears
z Use front mounting ears and a tray
z Use front mounting ears and rear mounting ears
z Use front mounting ears and guide rails
The installation methods of a switch depend on the depth and width of the switch. For
the specific installation methods, see
Table 3-1.

Caution:
z Make sure that the ground wire has been properly connected before powering on
the switch.
z The length of the DC power cord must be less than 3 m (9.8 ft).
3.2.3 Connecting the Ground Wire
Caution:
Correctly connecting the switch ground wire is crucial to the lightning protection and
electromagnetic susceptibility (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 chassis ground (commonly known as
PGND). This chassis ground must be securely connected to the earth ground so that
the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the ground, enhancing
the EMS capability of the switch. Ground your switch as follows:
z When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the
yellow/green ground 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 a
building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The ground wire of the switch
should be connected to the grounding device for 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 resolve these problems, the TFTP and FTP modules are int rod uced 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 Modes
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:
The Boot ROM software version must 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 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.

Note:
The loading process of the Boot ROM software is the same as that of the host software,
except that during the Boot ROM loading process, you must enter the different digit
after entering the Boot Menu and the system gives somewhat different prompts. The
following text mainly describes the Boot ROM loading process.

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 p a cket 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.
II. Loading Boot ROM software
Step 1: At the prompt "Enter your choice(0-9):" select 6 in the Boot Menu and then
press <Enter> to enter the Boot ROM update menu shown below:
Bootrom update menu:

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 using XMODEM, verify that you have reset the baud rate of the
HyperT ermi nal to 9,600 bps after loadi ng the software with a baud rate other than 9,600
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 wo rking p ath
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. Missing Password

6.2.2 Missing Boot ROM Password
Please contact with 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 required 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 Baud rate: 9,600
z Data bits: 8
z Parity: none
z Stop bits: 1
z Flow control: none
z Terminal emulation: VT100.

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.
z Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You should correctly locate the problem,
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 th 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.

II. Installation procedure
Step 1: Tear the protection paper at one side of the double faced adhesive tape apart
from the tape, and stick the tape on the surface of the arrester. Tear the protection
paper at another side apart from the ta pe, and stick the arrester onto the ch assis of the
switch. The arrester should be attached on the chassis as close to the grounding screw
as possible.
Step 2: According to the distance to the grounding screw of the switch, cut the ground
wire of the arrester, and securely tightening its ground wire to the grounding screw of
the switch.
Step 3: Use the multimeter to measure whether the g round wire of the arrester contacts
well with the grounding screw of chassis.
Step 4: According to the instruction of arrester for network port, connect the arrester
with switch by the cables (be carefully with the cable direction. Outdoor network cable
should be inserted into the arrester‘s IN end, and the cable connected to the switch
should be inserted into the arrester’s OUT end). When you do that, observe whether
the arrester indicators normally display.
Note:
The instruction of lightning arrester for network port contains the technical
specifications, installation and maintenance guide of the arrester. Please carefully read
it before installing the arrester.
Step 5: Use the nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.

III. Installation precautions
Fully consider the following items in the installation process, otherwise, the
performance of the lightning arrester for network port will be affected:
z Lightning arrester for network port is installed in reverse direction. In practice, the
“IN” end should be connected to the outdoor network cable and the “OUT” end to
the network port on the switch.
z Lightning arrester for the network port is not well grounded. The ground wire for
the arrester should be as short as possible, so to ensure its good contact with the
grounding screw of the switch. After the connection, use the multimeter to confirm
that.
The lightning arrester for the network port is not installed completely. If the switch has
more than one network ports to interconnect with other devices via cables outdo or, you
should install lightning arresters for all these network ports for protection.
