Preparing for installation
Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety
recommendations before installing an H3C S5830 switch. Note that the recommendations do not cover
every possible hazardous condition.
• Before cleaning the switch, unplug the power cord of the power module of the switch. Do not clean
the switch with wet cloth or liquid.
• Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
• Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case
of a fall.
• Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of the switch free of
obstruction.
• Make sure the operating voltage is in the range labeled on the power module of the switch.
• To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis when the switch is operating or when the switch
is just powered off.
• When replacing interface cards, hot-swappable power modules and fan trays, wear an
ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.
Examining the installation site
The H3C S5830 Switch Series must be used indoors. You can mount the switch in a rack, but make sure:
• Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.
• The rack has a good ventilation system.
• Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure ambient air flows into the
switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.
• Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the bottom
device from entering the top device.
• The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
• The rack is well earthed.
To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the
requirements described in the following subsections.
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 too 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
4
circuits on the device. A high temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates the
aging of insulation materials and significantly lowers reliability and service life of the switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see Table 9 in Appendix A
Technical specifications.
Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis may result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
Table 1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)
EMI
Dust
NOTE:
The dust diameter is greater than or equal to 5 μm.
≤ 3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in Table 2.

)
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling,
electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.
To prevent EMI, take the following actions:
• If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to
filter interference from the power grid.
• Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
• Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or
over-current caused by lightning strikes.
Laser safety
The H3C S5830 Switch Series is a line of class 1 laser devices.

WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li
may hurt your eyes.
Installation tools
• Flat-blade screwdriver P4-75mm
• Phillips screwdriver P1-100mm, P2-150mm, and P3-250mm
• ESD-preventive wrist strap

Installing the mounting brackets, chassis rails, and grounding cable (for the S5830-52SC)
The S5830-52SC switch provides one front mounting position (near the network ports) and one rear
mounting position (near the power modules), and two grounding points (one primary grounding point
with a grounding sign, and one auxiliary grounding point). You use the primary grounding point in most
cases. If the primary grounding point fails or is not suitable for the installation site, use the auxiliary
grounding point.
Figure 13 Identifying the mounting and grounding positions
(1) Rear mounting position (2) Primary grounding point
(3) Auxiliary grounding point (4) Front mounting position
Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch chassis
1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the rear mounting position (see Figure 14) or
front mounting position (see Figure 15).
2. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the mounting brackets to the chassis.
3. If the mounting brackets are in the rear mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw
holes at the front of the side panels (see Figure 14). If the mounting brackets are in the front
11
mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the rear of the side panels (see
Figure 15).
4. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the chassis rails to the chassis.
Attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way.
Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left side panel. If you use
either of the grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you
mount the switch in the rack.
To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point, for example, the primary grounding point:
1. Select a grounding point.
2. Remove the grounding screws from the primary grounding point. (You can use the screws for
connecting to the primary grounding point or the auxiliary grounding point.)
3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the
grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a
screwdriver to fix the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 14.

Installing the mounting brackets, chassis rails, and grounding cable (for the S5830-106S)
The S5830-106S switch provides one front mounting position (near the network ports) and one rear
mounting position (near the power modules), and two grounding points—one primary grounding point
(with a grounding sign), and one auxiliary grounding point. You use the primary grounding point in most
cases. If the primary grounding point fails or is not suitable for the installation site, use the auxiliary
grounding point.

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch chassis
1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the rear mounting position (see Figure 17) or
front mounting position (see Figure 18).
2. Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the mounting brackets to the chassis.
3. Align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the side panels (see Figure 17 and Figure 18).

Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to fix the chassis rails to the chassis.
4.
Attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way.
Connecting the grounding cable to the switch chassis
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left side panel. If you use
either of the grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you
mount the switch in the rack.
To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point, for example, the primary grounding point:
1. Select a grounding point.
2. Unpack the grounding cable and the grounding screws. (You can use the cable and screws for
connecting to the primary grounding point or the auxiliary grounding point.)
3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the
grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a
screwdriver to fix the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 17.
