1 Product Overview
Overview
H3C S5800 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as the S5800 series) are Layer 3 Gigabit
Ethernet switching products developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred
to as H3C). The S5800 series provide abundant service features. They provide the IPv6 forwarding
function and 10 GE uplink interfaces. Through H3C-specific cluster management, you can simplify
network management.
The S5800 series are designed as distribution or access devices for intranets and metropolitan area
networks (MANs). Supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, the S5800 series provide abundant service
features and routing functions and can also be used for connecting server groups in data centers.
The S5800 series support the innovative Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. With IRF,
multiple S5800 switches can be interconnected as a logical entity to form a new intelligent network
featuring high availability, scalability, and manageability.
The S5800 series support H3C Open Application Architecture (OAA) platform. To enable features such
as firewall, anti-virus, IPS, and wireless access control on the switches, you only need to insert OAP
cards into the switches and configure these features on the OAP cards.
The S5800 series include the following models, and have the system specifications as shown in

The procedures of installing an S5800-60C-PWR (2U) and other S5800 series (1U) into a rack are
similar. For how to mount a switch to a rack based on different positions of the mounting brackets, see
Figure 3-11.
Mounting the Switch on a Workbench
In many cases, standard 19-inch cabinets are not available. Therefore, switches are often placed on
clean workbenches. To place the switch on a workbench, follow these steps:
3-7
Step1 Place the switch with bottom up carefully, and then clean the round holes on the chassis bottom with dry
cloth.
Step2 Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes on the chassis bottom.
Step3 Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
During the operation, you simply need to:
z Make sure that the workbench is flat and sturdy.
z Ensure good ventilation and a space of 10 cm (3.9 in.) around the chassis for heat dissipation.
z Avoid heavy objects on the switch.
Connecting the Ground Wire
zCorrectly connecting the switch ground wire is crucial to the lightning protection and
electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of a switch.
zThe power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.
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.
When a Grounding Strip is Available
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 (the grounding screw and the grounding
hole are on the rear panel of the switch and are marked with a grounding sign). To do this, follow these
steps:
Step1 Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.
Step2 Put the supplied OT terminal of the PGND cable on the grounding screw.
Step3 Fasten the grounding screw, which is attached with the OT terminal of the PGND cable, into the
grounding screw hole with a screwdriver.

Figure 3-12 Connect the PGND cable to the grounding hole of switch
(1) Rear panel of the switch (2) Grounding sign
(3) Grounding hole (4) OT terminal
(5) PGND cable (6) Grounding screw
To attach the other end of the PGND cable to the grounding strip in the equipment room, follow these
steps:
Step1 Cut the PGND cable to a proper length according to the distance between the switch and the grounding
strip.
Step2 Peel 5 mm (0.20 in.) of insulation sheath using a wire stripper, and then insert the naked metal part
through the black insulation covering into the end of the OT terminal. (Two OT terminals are provided
with the PGND cable when shipped with the switch; select a proper OT terminal according to the size of
the grounding post.)
Step3 Secure the metal part of the cable to the OT terminal with a crimper, and then cover it with the insulation
covering. Then heat the insulation covering with a blowing machine to let it completely cover the metal
part.
Step4 Connect the OT terminal to the grounding pole of the grounding strip, and then fasten it with a hex nut.
Figure 3-13 Connect the ground wire to the grounding strip
Use the PGND cable provided with the switch to connect the grounding strip in the equipment room.
Otherwise, the grounding effect may not be ensured, which easily causes damage to the switch.
Installing a Power Module
The S5800-60C-PWR/S5800-32F provides two power module slots on its rear panel. Hot swappable
power module slot 1 is empty when the switch is shipped, and hot swappable power module 2 is
installed with a filler panel. You can select one or two power modules for your switch as needed. For
details about optional power modules, refer to
This section describes how to install and remove the power module and the power cord. To prevent
damage to the device and personal injury, follow the installation and removal procedures illustrated in

5 Loading Software
Introduction
Loading software on the switch involves loading application files and upgrading the Boot ROM program
by using the host software package. The host software package of the S5800 series comprises the Boot
ROM files and application files with the file name extension .bin.
zLoading application files: Download the host software package to the flash memory on the switch
and set the attribute (main, backup, or none) of the application files.
zUpgrading the Boot ROM program: Use Boot ROM files in the host software package to upgrade
the Boot ROM program of the switch.
Boot ROM files (stored together with application files with name extension .bin in the host software
package) used for upgrade are complete Boot ROM files. A complete Boot ROM file includes a basic
section and an extended section.
zThe basic Boot ROM section is the smallest program file used to complete the primary initialization
of the system.
zWith rich human-computer interaction (HCI) functions, the extended Boot ROM section uses
Ethernet interfaces for upgrading the applications and the boot system.
Approaches for Loading Software
You can load application and configuration files of the switch through the Boot ROM menu or the CLI.

zEach S5800-32F series switch provides a management Ethernet port, which can operate
regardless of the working status of the switching chip. To upgrade the Boot ROM program or load
application files when the switching chip fails to operate normally, you are recommended to use the
management Ethernet port.
zLoading the Boot ROM or application files through the management Ethernet port is similar to that
through the common Ethernet port. This manual takes the common Ethernet port as examples in
file loading.
Loading Software Through the Boot ROM Menu
To load the Boot ROM and application files through the Boot ROM menu, you need to correctly connect
a user terminal to the switch using a console cable.

except that you need to select different items (1 for loading application files, and 6 for loading Boot
ROM files) in the Boot ROM menu. This manual takes upgrading the Boot ROM program as
examples.
Loading Software Using XMODEM Through Console Port
Introduction to XMODEM
XMODEM is a file transfer protocol widely used for its simplicity. XMODEM transfers files through the
console port, supporting data packets of 128 bytes. With respect to reliability, it supports checksum,
CRC, and the error packet retransmission mechanism. Normally, the maximum number of
retransmission attempts is ten.
XMODEM transfer is completed by receiving and sending programs together. Receiving program
initiates packet checking method negotiation by sending the negotiation character. If negotiation passes,
the sending program starts packet transfer. Upon receipt of a complete packet, the receiving program
checks it using the agreed-upon check method. If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends an
acknowledgement character; if the check fails, it sends a reject character. Upon receipt of the
acknowledgement, the sending program continues to send the next packet; upon receipt of the reject, it
retransmits the packet.
Upgrading the Boot ROM program
Complete the following tasks to update the Boot ROM program using XMODEM through the console
port (For details about the HyperTerminal, refer to
Setting Terminal Parameters on page 4-2):

z Enter the file name and IP addresses based on the actual condition.
z If the switch and the server are on the same network segment, you can specify any unused IP
address of the network for the switch without specifying the gateway’s IP address; if they are not on
the same segment, you need to specify the gateway’s IP address so that the switch can
communicate with the server.
6) Update the Boot ROM file on the switch
Enter the corresponding parameters based on the actual condition. The system displays the following
information:
Will you Update Basic BootRom? (Y/N):Y
The system asks you whether you want to update the basic Boot ROM section. Click Y. The system

You can enter 2 to load the application file.
The procedure of loading an application file is similar to that of upgrading the Boot ROM program. The
difference lies in that the system displays the prompt of loading the application file rather than upgrading
the Boot ROM program.
After loading the application file, the switch displays that you should configure the application attribute,
that is, main, backup, or none. Type a specific attribute to complete loading the application file.
Please input the file attribute (Main/Backup/None) M
Done!
If an application file with a specific attribute already exists when you set a new file with the attribute, the
attribute of the existing file becomes none after the new file becomes effective.
Loading Software Through CLI
By connecting a terminal to the switch, you can upgrade the Boot ROM program and load application
files of the switch remotely through CLI.
Loading Software Through USB Interface
Each S5800 series switch provides a USB interface on its front panel. You can download the Boot ROM
and application files to a removable storage device (such as a USB flash disk), and load the file through
the USB interface.
Suppose the Boot ROM and application files are stored in the file named update.bin, follow these steps
to load the files from the USB flash disk.
Step1 Plug the USB flash disk containing the update.bin file in the USB interface of the switch.
Step2 Copy the update.bin file to the flash memory of the switch.
<H3C> cd flash:
<H3C> copy usba:/upadate.bin update.bin
Step3 Remove the USB flash disk, and then load the Boot ROM file.
<H3C> bootrom update file update.bin slot 1
This command will update bootrom file on the specified board(s), Continue? [Y/
N]:y
Now updating bootrom, please wait...
Step4 Load the application file, and specify the file as the main program file.
<H3C> boot-loader file update.bin slot 1 main
This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot 1!
<H3C> display boot-loader
Slot 1
5-18
The current boot app is: flash:/update.bin
The main boot app is: flash:/update.bin
The backup boot app is: flash:/update.bin
<H3C> reboot
zAfter loading the application file, use the reboot command to restart the switch to make the update
take effect (make sure you have saved other configurations before restart).
zIf the flash memory does not have enough space, you can load the Boot ROM file first, and then
delete certain application files from the flash memory (you are recommended to delete the unused
host program files); then, load the application file to the switch through FTP for update.
zAvoid any power failure during the loading process.
Loading Software Using FTP
As shown in Figure 5-9, run FTP Server on the local host, configure username admin and the password,
and specify the path of the file to be downloaded (suppose the IP address of the FTP server is
202.10.10.53). Then, telnet to the switch and send the host program file to the switch using FTP.
Figure 5-9 Load software through FTP
Suppose the Boot ROM and application files are stored in the file named update.bin, follow these steps
after you telnet to the switch.

delete certain application files from the flash memory (you are recommended to delete the unused
host program files); then, load the application file to the switch through FTP for update.
zAvoid any power failure during the loading process.
Loading Software Using TFTP
Loading a file through TFTP is similar to loading a file through FTP. The switch can serve only as a
TFTP client that downloads the file from the TFTP server to its flash memory. The procedure after
download is the same as loading the file remotely through FTP.

6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Software Loading Failure
If loading new version software fails, the system runs steadily using the original system files. In this case,
check whether the physical ports are properly connected.
z If not, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure.
z If so, view the loading procedure information displayed on the HyperTerminal to check for input
errors. If there is any input error, restart the loading procedure with correct input.
Common input errors include:
zFail to set the baud rate of the HyperTerminal to 9,600 bps when loading files at a baud rate other
than 9,600 bps through XMODEM.
z Enter an incorrect IP address, software name, or path of the TFTP server when using TFTP.
z Enter an incorrect IP address, software name, username, or password when using FTP.
If software loading fails when there are neither physical connection problems nor input errors, please
contact your sales agent for help.

Power Module Failure
Fixed Power Module Failure
The S5800-56C, S5800-56C-PWR, S5800-32C-PWR and S5800-32C use fixed power modules. Each
of these fixed power modules has three input modes, namely, AC input, RPS input and both.
You can check whether the power system of the switch fails by viewing the system status LED and RPS
status LED on the front panel of the switch. For details, refer to
Table 6-1 Fixed power module failure LEDs description
LED Mark Status Description
Table 6-1.

AC input
When the switch adopts AC input, you can check the power supply status by viewing the system status
LED. If the system status LED is off, an AC input failure occurs. Then do the following:
zCheck whether the AC power cord is well connected to the switch, whether the AC receptacle on
the switch and the AC power socket are faulty.
z Check whether the external AC power supply system is normal.
z Check whether the operating temperature of the switch is normal, and whether good ventilation is
provided to the power supply (the power module may stop working and enter the protection state
due to over-temperature).
RPS input
When the switch adopts RPS input, you can check the power supply status by viewing the system
status LED or RPS status LED. If the system status LED or RPS status LED is off, an RPS input failure
occurs. Then do the following:
z Check whether the switch is well connected to the external RPS power supply.
z Check whether the external RPS power supply works normally.
z Check whether the operating temperature of the switch is normal, and whether good ventilation is
provided to the power supply (the power module may stop working and enter the protection state
due to over-temperature).
RPS&AC input
When the switch adopts both RPS and AC inputs, you can check the power supply status and the input
status of each line by viewing the system status LED and RPS status LED.
1) The system status LED is off.
Both the AC input and RPS input are faulty. Then do the following:

zCheck whether the AC power cord is well connected to the switch, whether the AC receptacle on
the switch and the AC power socket are faulty.
z Check whether the AC external power supply system is normal.
z Check whether the switch is well connected to the external RPS power supply.
z Check whether the external RPS power supply works normally.
z Check whether the operating temperature of the switch is normal, and whether good ventilation is
provided to the power supply (the power module may stop working and enter the protection state
due to over-temperature).
2) The system status LED is on but the RPS status LED is steady yellow.
An AC input failure occurs. Then do the following:
zCheck whether the AC power cord is well connected to the switch, whether the AC receptacle on
the switch and the AC power socket are faulty.
zCheck whether the AC external power supply system is normal.
3) The system status LED is on but the RPS status LED is off.
An RPS input failure occurs. Then do the following:
z Check whether the switch is well connected to the external RPS power supply.
z Check whether the external RPS power supply works normally.
If the cause cannot be located in the preceding steps and the problem persists, you need to contact
your local sales agent or service engineer.
Hot Swappable Power Module Failure
The S5800-60C-PWR and S5800-32F support hot swappable power modules. You can check whether
the power system of the switch runs normally by viewing the PWR1 or PWR2 LED on the front panel
and of the switch the LED on the power module.
z For details about the PWR1 and PWR2 LEDs on the front panel of the switch, refer to Table 1-9.
z For details about the LED on a hot swappable power module, refer to H3C PSR300-12A &
PSR300-12D1 Power Modules User Manual and H3C PSR750-A & PSR750-D Power Modules
