Preparing for installation

Safety recommendations To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, please read the following safety recommendations carefully before installing the S9500E series. The recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

General safety recommendations Take necessary safety measures to avoid injury and device damage. For example, wear an

ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Make sure that the ground is dry and flat and you have adopted anti-slip measures. Keep the chassis clean and dust-free. Do not place the switch on a moist area and avoid

liquid flowing into the switch.

Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas. Move the device and some other parts (such as the PSUs or chassis) cautiously with partners

in view of the heavy weight.

Electrical safety Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as ungrounded power extension

cables, missing safety grounds, and moist floors.

Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut the power off at once in case accident occurs.

Unplug all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassis. Better not maintain the equipment alone when it has been powered. Never assume but check each time that power has been disconnected from a circuit.

ESD damage prevention To prevent the electronic components from being damaged by the ESD, you should not only take ESD measures where the switch is located, but also take the following precautions:

Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing components, especially the electronic printed circuit boards.

Hold the edges of the PCB when necessary. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.

Take the following steps to use the ESD-preventive wrist strap.

1. Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.

38

2. Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin.

3. Insert the ESD-preventive wrist strap into the specially designed hole on the switch chassis or attach it to the grounding screw of the chassis the alligator clips.

4. Make sure that the ESD-preventive wrist strap is well grounded.

Check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap. The resistance reading should be in the range of 1M to 10 M ohm between human body and the ground.

Handling safety Follow the recommendations below:

1. Remove all the external cables (including power cords) before moving the chassis.

2. Move the switch slowly and stably. Keep in step with your partners and balance your bodies when moving the switch.

H3C recommends that four people work together to move the device to avoid incline of the chassis.

You can only hold the handles at both sides of the chassis when moving the switch, but not the plastic panel of the chassis, the handle of the fan tray, the handle of the PSUs, the handle of the back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of chassis. Any attempt to carry the switch with these parts may cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.

Laser safety The S9500E series are class 1 laser products.

When an optical interface board is operating, do not stare into the open optical port because the laser emitted from it has very high power density and is harmful to your eyes.

The laser inside the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.

Examining the installation site The S9500E series can only be used indoors. The following requirements ensure that the switch works normally and prolongs its service lifetime.

Floor loading requirements Because the S9500E series are very heavy, make sure the floor is sturdy enough to support the weight of the chassis, its accessories, and if the chassis is workbench or cabinet mounted, the workbench or cabinet.

S9512E 587.5 kg/m2 (126.84 lb/ft2)

Temperature requirements The temperature in the room should be maintained within a proper range. Figure 25 describes temperature requirements.

Table 25 Temperature requirements

Temperature Range

Operating temperature Long term: 0C to 45C (32F to 113F)

Short term: 10C to +55C (14F to 131F) (no more than 96 hours of continuous operation in less than 15 days in one year)

Storage temperature 40C to +70C (40F to 158F)

If condensate appears on the switch, dry the switch before power-on to avoid damaging interior components.

Humidity requirements The humidity in the equipment room should be maintained within a proper range. Figure 26 describes humidity requirements.

Table 26 Humidity requirements

Humidity RangeOperating humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 90%

Storage humidity (noncondensing) 5% to 95%

Long-lasting high humidity in the equipment room is prone to poor insulation or even leakage of the insulating material. Mechanical performance deterioration, rustiness and corrosion of some metal parts are also more likely to occur.

40

If the relative humidity is too low, the captive screws may become loose due to the insulation washer contraction. Meanwhile, the electrostatic is likely to be produced in the dry environment, which will jeopardize the CMOS circuit of the switch.

Cleanness requirements Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of the switch. The indoor dust accumulated on the chassis can cause electrostatic adsorption, which may result in the poor contact of the connector or metal contact point. This happens more frequently when indoor relative humidity is low, which will not only shorten the service life of the switch, but also cause communication failure.

The required specifications on dust content and particle diameter in an equipment room are shown in the following table.

Table 27 Limitation on dust content and particle diameter in the equipment room

Mechanical active material Content limit (particles/m)

Dust particle 3 x 104

(No visible dust on desk in three days)

Note: Dust particle diameter 5 m

The equipment room of the switch should also meet the same requirements as dust for the content of salt, acid and sulfide in the air. These harmful gases could accelerate the metal erosion and the aging process of some parts. Incursion of harmful gases, such as SO2, H2S, NO2, NH3, and Cl2, should be prevented. The specific limitation values of these harmful gases are listed in the following table.

Table 28 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room

Gas Average (mg/m) Max. (mg/m)

SO2 0.3 1.0

H2S 0.1 0.5

NO2 0.004 0.15

NH3 1.0 3

Cl2 0.1 0.3

EMS requirements Any possible interference sources, outside or inside the system, impacts the switch in use through capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, electromagnetic radiation, common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling or conducting line (power line, signalling line and transmission line etc). To prevent the interference, perform the following steps:

1. Take effective measures against electrical net interference for power supply system.

2. Separate the working ground of the switch from the grounding device of the power supply equipment or lightning-protection grounding device as far as possible.

41

3. Keep the switch far away from the radio launcher, radar launcher, and high-frequency devices working in the high current.

4. Adopt electromagnetic shielding if necessary.

If necessary, take electromagnetic shielding measures against the interference.

Grounding requirements A good grounding system is not only the basis essential to the stable and reliable switch operation, but also an important guarantee of lightning protection, anti-interference and ESD-prevention. The user must provide good grounding system for the switch. The resistance between the chassis and the ground must be less than 1 ohm.

Power supply requirements The S9500E series switches support both AC and DC power supply. You can select either AC or DC power module as needed. 1+1 redundancy is recommended. Power modules of different types have different power supply requirements. Refer to Power Supply System in System Description for the PSU specifications.

Space requirements H3C recommends that the front and rear of the cabinet should be at least 0.8 m (31.50 in.) away from walls or other devices, and that the headroom in the equipment room should be no less than 3 m (9.84 ft).

Cabinet-mounting requirements Before mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch cabinet, make sure that the cabinet meets the following requirements.

Height: Use a cabinet that is over 2.2 m (86.61 in.) in height. Weight bearing and power: The cabinet should be sturdy enough to support the switch and

installation accessories. Reserve the power derating at 20%.

Grounding: The cabinet must be equipped with a reliable grounding terminal. Heat dissipation: The cabinet must have a good ventilation system.

The S9500E series provide abundant command views. For more information about the configuration commands and the CLI, see H3C S9500E Series Routing Switches Operation Manual.

Connecting the AUX cable Use an AUX cable when configuring a switch with the remote modem dial-up approach.

Introduction

An AUX cable is an 8-core shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector that can be plugged into the AUX port of the switch. At the other end is DB-9 (male) connector. You can plug it into the DB-9 (female) port of the modem. An AUX cable is the same as a console cable. For details, refer to Figure 32 and Table 32.

Connection procedures 1. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the AUX cable into the AUX port of the switch.

2. Plug the DB-9 (male) connector at the other end into the serial port of the modem.

Connecting a 10/100/100Base-Tport

No network cables are shipped with the switch.

Introduction to RJ-45 connector

The 10/100/1000Base-T ports of the S9500E series support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. They are connected to category-5 shielded cables or above that are equipped with RJ-45 connectors.

Connection procedures 1. Plug one end of a network cable into the Ethernet RJ-45 port to be connected on the switch.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port of the peer device.

Connecting optical fibers Installing fiber management tray (optional)

63

The installation method described below is based on an N68 cabinet. The installation procedure is for reference if you use a non-N68 cabinet.

A FMT is installed in a cabinet for winding redundant fibers between the S9500E and other devices.

Preparations

The installation prerequisites are as follows:

The cabinet is fixed. The device is installed. The installation involves the following materials:

FTM M510 self-tapping screws (two screws for one FMT)

Procedure

To install the fiber management tray, proceed as shown in Figure 39.

1. Align the FMT and the installation holes on the column of the cabinet.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fix each FMT with two M510 self-tapping screws.

Figure 39 Install FMTs

Introduction to fiber connector

When selecting a fiber network facility, make sure that the type of the connector and the fiber matches

the adopted optical port.

Before connecting a fiber, make sure that the optical power at the receiving end does not exceed the upper threshold of the optical receive power of the optical module. Otherwise, the optical module may be damaged.

64

All the megabit and gigabit optical modules available for S9500E are SFP modules that use LC fiber connectors as user interfaces.

Fiber connectors allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging and maintenance more convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more flexible. The LC connector is used in this document.

Figure 40 LC connector

Precautions

Install the dust cover if the optical port is not connected to a fiber connector. Do not stare at the optical port directly; invisible rays may be emitted from the optical port if

the optical port is not connected to a fiber connector or the dust cover is removed.

Protect fiber connectors under safe and reliable outer packing, and be fitted with dust caps. Install fiber connectors with dust caps when they are not in use. Take care not to scratch their end face. Replace the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.

Before connecting a fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the fiber connector. Brush the end face only in one direction and brush the end face of the other fiber connector.

Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it. After a fiber is installed well, the bend radius must be not less than 40 mm (the minimum dynamic bend radius is 20 D, and the minimum static bend radius is 10 D. D indicates the outer diameter of fiber jackets).

If the fiber has to pass through a metallic board hole, the hole must have a sleek and fully filleted surface (the filleting radius must be not less than 2 mm). When passing through a metallic board hole or bending along the acute side of mechanical parts, the fiber must wear jackets or cushions.

Insert and remove a plug with care. Never exert a fierce force to the fiber or plug; otherwise the plug may be damaged or the fiber may be broken. Never pull, press or extrude the fiber. For the allowed maximum tensile load and crush load, refer to Table 33.

Table 33 Allowed maximum tensile force and crush load

Period of force Tensile load (N) Crush load (N/100 mm)Short period 150 500

Long term 80 100

Connection procedures 1. Connect one end of the fiber to the SFP module of the S9500E series.

2. Connect the other end of the fiber to the peer device.

65

Cable routing recommendations Interface cables and power cords should be separately routed. Reasonable cable routing can improve efficiency by facilitating installation and removal of fan trays, PSUs and some other components.

Workbench-mounted switch

All interface cables are routed at left and right sides of the chassis and power cords are routed at the chassis back. Interface cables are routed through cable management brackets to the cabling racks and then up or down to the cabling trough.

Rack-mounted switch

Interface cables are routed through the cable management brackets, bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, and then routed up or down to pass through the chassis top or the raised floor, depending on the available equipment room condition (signal cables are routed into the chassis either from the cabling racks on the chassis top or from the cabling trough under the floor).

Put all the data signal cable adapters neatly under the chassis (instead of any places outside the chassis in case of unexpected damages).

The power cords run along the left-rear of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the chassis top or the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution cabinet, lightning protection box, and connector strip, etc.) of the exchange office.

Bundle the long cables with power cable retainers; do not bundle cables at the air exhaust vent to

prevent the cables from aging too fast. For the detailed operations, refer to Appendix A Cable Management.

Fix cables as near the device as possible. Bind the cables between the fixing point and device interfaces loosely.

To identify cables, attach labels. For detailed steps see Appendix B Engineering Labels for Cables.

Maintaining and updating the switch

Maintaining the switch

Removing the PSU

PSUs for the S9500E are hot-swappable. When installing and removing a PSU with the device powered on, pay attention to operation procedures and electricity safety issues. To avoid injury, do not touch any wires, terminals, and parts with a high-voltage hazard sign.

Follow these steps to remove the PSU:

1. Remove the PSU.

2. Remove the sub-PSU (applicable to the NEPS3500-A only).

Preparations 1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure that the wrist strap is well grounded.

2. Turn off the power switch on the PSU or sub-PSU to be removed (set the power switch of the PSU or sub-PSU to the OFF position)

3. Unplug the power cables on the PSU or sub-PSU.

Removing the PSU 1. Loosen the captive screws on the PSU.

2. Remove the air filter of the PSU (applicable to the DC PSU only) and pull out the handle of the PSU.

3. Holding the PSU handle, gently pull the PSU out along the guide rails, as shown in Figure 41.

Removing the Sub-PSU

67

This operation is applicable to the NEPS3500-A only.

1. Pull down the handle of the sub-PSU, and gently separate the sub-PSU from the backplane of the PSU, as shown in Figure 42.

Figure 42 Remove a sub-PSU

2. Supporting the bottom of the sub-PSU with one hand and holding the sub-PSU handle with

the other hand, gently pull out the sub-PSU.

When multiple sub-PSUs are working at the same time, if you turn off the power switch of a sub-PSU, the LED of the sub-PSU turns yellow or blinks in green.

Removing an LPU LPUs and MPUs for the S9500E are hot-swappable. Removal procedures for these two types of boards are similar. Follow these steps to remove a board.

1. Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and loosen the captive screws on the board.

2. Move the ejector levers outwards to separate the board from the backplane.

3. Slowly pull out the board along the guide rails.

Removing a fan tray

To avoid injury, do not touch any wires, terminals, and parts with a high-voltage hazard sign.

Fan trays are hot-swappable. To replace a fan tray with the device running, pull out the fan tray after it stop rotating. Keep your hands away from the spinning fan blades when removing the fan tray.

Do not keep the switch working without a fan tray for a long time to ensure normal operation of the switch.

When removing a fan tray, hold the bottom of the fan tray to pull it out thoroughly.

Removing a fan tray (for an S9505E or S9512E) 1. Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and loosen the captive screws on the fan tray.

2. Pull out the fan tray along the guide rails, as shown in Figure 43.

68

Removing a fan tray (for an S9508E-V) 1. Press and hold the release button with your thumb and pull the fan tray slightly out.

2. Pull out the fan tray along the guide rails, as shown in Figure 44.

Figure 44 Remove a fan tray

Software update

Do not power off the switch during software update.

Recommended update procedure Currently the device supports the following update approaches:

On the BootWare menu. You can select menu items to implement application update. At the CLI.

69

When loading the BootWare and host software, make sure that the BootWare version matches the software version. You need to load the correct BootWare only if the software version to be loaded does not match the current BootWare. It is recommended not to update the BootWare frequently.

At present, the device supports upgrade of the programs by packing them. One program packet includes the Boot Ware and host software, and you can upgrade all the software in a program packet at one time.

After updating the BootWare, reboot the board so that the new version can take effect.

To use FTP/TFTP for application update, corresponding FTP/TFTP software (not supplied with the switch) is required. TFTPD32 is recommended in this case.

As for the BootWare update for LPUs and OAM pinch boards on MPUs, see Device Management Configuration in System Volume.

Updating applications on the BootWare menu

Never hot-plug the CF card after you enter the BootWare menu.

A CF card can be used only after the cover of the CF card is installed.

Entering the BootWare menu

After powering on the switch, run BootWare program first and the terminal will display the following information: DDR2 SDRAM test successful.

Updating software through console port (XModem)

Brief introduction to XModem

XModem transmits files through serial interfaces, supporting 128 bytes and 1 KB in terms of data unit, checksum and CRC in terms of checking mode, and multiple retransmissions (usually ten attempts) in the event that packet errors are found.

XModem completes transmission by the receiving program (receiver) and the sending program (sender). In XModem, the transmission begins with the sending of negotiation characters from the receiver for the purpose of check mode negotiation. After passing the negotiation, the sender is allowed to send the first data packet. Upon the receipt of the complete packet, the receiver checks the packet using the agreed checking mode and will send an ACK if the packet has passed the check and a NAK if not. Receiving the ACK, the sender will send the next packet; receiving the NAK instead, the sender will retransmit the previously sent packet.
