2 Installation Preparation

Precautions

To avoid any device impairment and body injury resulting from improper use, please take the following precautions:

l Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.

l Keep the switch away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.

l Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk, because the switch might be damaged severely in case of a fall.

l Keep the switch room drafty and the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction.

l The switch can operate normally only under correct voltage input. Make sure that the operating voltage is consistent with that labeled on the switch.

l To prevent electric shock, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating, and do not open the chassis arbitrarily even when the switch is powered off.

l Before changing interface cards, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to prevent the cards from being damaged by electrostatic discharge.

Requirements on Environment

S3100 Series Ethernet Switches must be used indoors. When you install your switch in a cabinet or on a desk, you must ensure:

l Enough space is reserved near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the switch for heat dissipation of the switch chassis.

l The cabinet or the workbench takes good ventilation and heat dissipation system.

l The cabinet or the desk is solid enough to bear the weight of the switch and the accessories.

l The cabinet or the desk is well grounded.

To ensure normal operation and to prolong the life span of the switch, the following requirements on the installation site must also be satisfied.

Temperature/Humidity Requirements

You should keep your equipment room within the proper temperature and humidity ranges to ensure the normal operation and working life of your switch. If the humidity in the equipment room is too high for a long time, it may decrease the insulation attribute of insulating material or even cause electric leakage of insulating material, and, sometimes, may change the mechanical performance of material and cause the rustiness and corrosion of metal parts. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive screws may become loose due to the shrinking of insulation washers; in addition, electrostatic is more likely to be produced in a dry environment, which may damage the circuit of the switch. High temperature may cause even greater damage to the switch. High temperature for a long time will speed up the aging of insulation material, greatly lower the reliability of the switch and greatly reduce the life span of the switch.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of different models, refer to section “Overview”.

Cleanness Requirements

Dust is a potential hazard to the safe operation of the switch. Falling on the equipment, it may cause electrostatic adsorption, and hence result in poor contact of the metal connectors or connection points. This is more likely to happen when the indoor relative humidity is low; in this case, it may not only shorten the device’s working life, but also incur communication failure. The requirements on dust content and particle diameter in the equipment room are shown in the following table:

Table 2-1 Requirements on dust content in the equipment room

Physical active substance	Unit	Content
Dust particle	particle/m³	≤ 3 × 10⁴ (No visible dust on desk in three days)
Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5µm

Besides the requirements on dust, rigorous requirements are also set on the content of chloride, acid, and sulfide in the air of the equipment room. These kinds of harmful gas will accelerate metal corrosion and aging of certain parts. The equipment room should be protected from the intrusion of harmful gases such as SO₂, H₂S, NH₃ and Cl₂. The limits of these kinds of harmful gas are shown in the following table.

Table 2-2 Limits on harmful gas in the equipment room

Gas	Max content (mg/m³)
SO₂	0.2
H₂S	0.006
NH₃	0.05
Cl₂	0.01

Anti-interference Requirements

A switch in use may be affected by the interference from outside the system by way of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic radiation, public impedance (including the grounding system) coupling or conducting line (power line, signaling line, and transmission line). Therefore, you should pay attention to the following:

l If AC supply system is TN system, AC power socket should be a single-phase three-line power socket with Protection Earth (PE) so that the filter circuit on the equipment can effectively filter out the interference coming from the power supply system.

l Keep the switch far away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and high-frequency heavy-current devices.

l Adopt electromagnetic shielding measure if necessary. For example, you can adopt shielded interface cable.

l Wire interface cables indoors. Do not wire cables outdoors in case that over-voltage and over-current damage the device.

Laser Usage Security

S3100 Series Ethernet Switches are category-1 laser equipment.

When an optional interface card of the S3100 Series Ethernet Switches is operating, avoid staring into the optical interface because the high-energy laser beam emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your eyes.

Installation Tools

These installation tools are not shipped with S3100 Series Ethernet Switches. You will have to prepare them beforehand.

l Phillips screwdriver

l Flat-blade screwdriver

l ESD-preventive wrist strap

3 Installation

On a mounting screw of the chassis of the H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches, there is a seal labeled with H3C. You must keep it intact before asking the agent to maintain the switch. You must get the permission of the local agent before you can open the chassis. Otherwise, you will be responsible for irreversible damages caused by your operations.

Installing a Switch

Cabinet Mounting

You can install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet in one of the following four ways:

l Use front mounting ears

l Use front mounting ears and a tray

l Use front mounting ears and rear mounting ears

l 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 and Table 3-2.

Table 3-1 Installation methods for a switch with a width of 440 mm or 436 mm (17.3 in. or 17.2 in.)

Method Depth	Use front mounting ears	Use front and rear mounting ears	Use front mounting ears and a tray	Use front mounting ears and guide rails
≤ 300 mm (11.8 in.)	√	—	√	√
360 mm (14.2 in.)	—	√	√	√
420 mm (16.5 in.)	—	√	√	√

Table 3-2 Installation method for a switch with a width less than 436 mm (17.2 in.)

Method Depth	Use front mounting ears	Use front and rear mounting ears	Use front mounting ears and a tray	Use front mounting ears and guide rails
≤300 mm (11.8 in.)	√	—	√	—
360 mm (14.2 in.)	—	—	√	—
420 mm (16.5 in.)	—	—	√	—

When the depth of a switch is greater than 300 mm (11.8 in.), the front mounting ears only secure the switch rather than bear its weight.

(2) Guide rail

l No guide rails are delivered with the device.

l Ensure a clearance of 1U (44.45 mm, namely, 1.75 inches) between devices for the purpose of heat dissipation.

Desk Mounting

When a 19-inch standard cabinet is not available, you can simply place the switch on a clean desk. When doing so, you should ensure that:

l The desk is stable and well grounded.

l A clearance about 10 cm (3.9 in.) is reserved around the switch for heat dissipation.

l No heavy object is placed on the switch.

l S3100-SI and S3100-TP-EI Series Ethernet Switches are designed with no fan. Therefore, you should install them in a drafty environment, and keep at least a vertical distance of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.) between devices if you need to stack switches one upon another.

Wall Mounting

You can mount some models of S3100 Series Ethernet Switches on concrete walls or wood walls. Table 3-4 lists the models that support wall mounting.

Table 3-4 Models supporting wall mounting

Subseries	Models supporting wall mounting	Hole distance (mm)
S3100-SI Ethernet switches	S3100-8T-SI	169 mm (6.65 in.)
S3100-SI Ethernet switches	S3100-8C-SI	169 mm (6.65 in.)

Introduction to screw and anchor kit

Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15 show the recommended sizes (in mm) of screws and anchor kits used for mounting:

Figure 3-14 Screw

Figure 3-15 Anchor kit

(1) Outside edge of anchor kit

Installation procedure

The wall-mounting procedure is as follows:

1) As shown in Figure 3-16, drill two holes 5 mm across in the wall on the same horizontal line, with a distance of X mm.

l The distance X between holes varies with devices. For specific distances, see Table 3-4.

l Drill two holes according to the sizes of anchor kits and screws so that anchor kits could go into the holes, only the edges could remain outside the wall, and the screws could be fixed on the wall tightly.

2) Insert anchor kits into the holes and keep only the edges outside the wall.

3) Drive screws into the anchor kits, keeping the inside of screw head at least 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) away from the edge of the anchor kit so that the switch could hang on the screws securely.

Figure 3-16 Wall mounting

4) Align the two installation holes at the bottom of the switch with these two screws to hang the switch.

When mounting the switch, keep the Ethernet ports of the switch facing downwards and the two sides with ventilation holes vertical to the ground.

Magnet Mounting

The following two models support magnet mounting:

l S3100-8TP-PWR-EI

l S3100-16TP-PWR-EI

Introduction to magnetic mounting accessories

A set of magnetic mounting accessories consists of one permanent magnets and one M3*6 countersunk head screws, as shown in Figure 3-17. Four sets of magnetic mounting accessories are needed for each S3100 switch.

Figure 3-17 Magnet and countersunk head screw

(1) Permanent magnet

(2) M3*6 countersunk head screw

Installation procedure

Follow these steps to complete magnet mounting:

1) As shown in Figure 3-18, use a Phillips screwdriver to pass the countersunk head screw through the round hole at the center of the permanent magnet, fasten it to a blind nut in the dent of the switch bottom, and ensure that the permanent magnet and the switch are fastened reliably.

l Remove the cushion, if any, from the dent before installation.

l To ensure the firmness of installation, be sure to use four permanent magnets to secure each S3100 switch.

2) Attach the magnet-mounted device to the specified location. Take care not to get your fingers stuck between because the magnetism is very huge.

Figure 3-18 Magnet mounting

(1) Blind nut in the dent of the switch bottom	(2) Permanent magnet
(3) M3*6 countersunk head screw

l Apply magnet mounting to only the above two models. Otherwise, a falloff or mis-operation may occur.

l Select the installation location carefully. In the case of poor surface, magnet mounting may not be reliable.

l Put the device at a stable place free from vibrations or shocks. Otherwise, personal injuries or equipment damage may occur.

l Avoid installing the device at a high place because personal injuries or equipment damage may occur in case of a falloff.

l Avoid frequently moving the desk-mounted device because such movements may damage the surface coating.

l Keep the front panel of the device facing downwards and the two sides with ventilation holes vertical to the ground, if you want to install the device vertically.

l Pay attention that the weight of external cables should not bring about a falloff, which may result in personal injuries or equipment damage.

l Keep floppy disks and magnetic cards away from magnets to avoid erasure of any information.

l Keep computers and monitors that are easily influenced by magnetic fields away from magnets. Otherwise, faults may occur to these electronic devices.

Connecting Grounding Cable

l Correctly connecting the switch ground wire is crucial to the lightning protection and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of a switch.

l The 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:

Step 1: Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.

Step 2: Put the supplied OT terminal of the PGND cable on the grounding screw.

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.

Where a Grounding Conductor Can be Buried

When there is no grounding strip, but an area with exposed earth is available nearby where a grounding conductor can be buried, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft.) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth. The angle iron should have a dimension no less than 50 × 50 × 5 mm (1.97 × 1.97 × 0.20 in.) and the steel tube should have a wall thickness no less than 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) and be zinc-coated. Weld the yellow-green ground wire to the angel iron or steel tube and treat the joint for corrosion protection.

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 introduced into 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.

Introduction to Loading Approaches

You can load the software locally by using:

l XModem via console port

l TFTP via Ethernet port

l FTP via Ethernet port

You can load the software remotely by using:

l FTP

l TFTP

Boot ROM software version should be compatible with the host software version when you load the Boot ROM and host software.

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 ensure the successful loading.

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 should press <Ctrl+U> and <Enter> after entering the Boot Menu and the system gives somewhat different prompts. The following text mainly describes the Boot ROM loading process.

Loading Software Using XModem Through Console Port

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 packet 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.

The subsequent steps are the same as those for loading the Boot ROM software, except for that the system gives the prompt for host software loading instead of Boot ROM loading.

Remote Software Loading

If your terminal is indirectly connected to the switch through Internet, you can telnet to the switch, and use FTP or TFTP to load Boot ROM and host software remotely.

Remote Loading Using FTP

As shown in Figure 5-8, a PC is used as both configuration device and FTP server. You can telnet to the switch, and then execute the FTP commands to download the host program s3100-SI.bin and the Boot ROM program s3100-SI.btm from the remote FTP server (with IP address 202.10.10.53) to the switch.

Figure 5-8 Remote loading using FTP

Step 1: Download the software to the switch using FTP commands.

<H3C> ftp 202.10.10.53

Trying ...

Press CTRL+K to abort

Step 2: Update the Boot ROM program on the switch.

<H3C> boot bootrom s3100-SI.btm

please wait ...

Bootrom is updated!

Step 3: Update the host program on the switch.

<H3C> boot boot-loader s3100-SI.bin

<H3C> display boot-loader

Unit 1:

The current boot app is: s3100-SI.bin

The main boot app is: s3100-SI.bin

The backup boot app is:

Step 4: Restart the switch.

<H3C> reboot

Before restarting the switch, make sure other configurations are all saved to avoid the loss of configuration information.

After the above operations, the Boot ROM and host software loading is completed.

Pay attention to the following:

l Host software loading takes effect only after you restart the switch with the reboot command.

l If the space of the flash memory is not enough, you can delete the useless files in the flash memory before software downloading.

l No power-breaking is permitted during software loading.

Remote Loading Using TFTP

The remote loading by using TFTP is similar to the remote loading by using FTP. The only difference is that it is TFTP that you use when loading software to the switch. In this case, the switch can only be used as a TFTP client.

6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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:

l If not, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure.

l If so, 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:

1) When using XModem, verify that you have reset the bits per second of the HyperTerminal to 9600 bps after loading the software with a bits per second other than 9600 bps;

2) When using TFTP, verify that you have provided:

l Correct server and switch IP addresses,

l Correct name of the software to be loaded,

l Correct working path of TFTP server;

3) When using FTP, verify that you have provided:

l Correct server and switch IP addresses,

l Correct name of the software to be loaded,

l 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

Missing user password

If you forget your user password, you can:

Access the Boot Menu:

BOOT MENU

1. Download application file to flash

2. Select application file to boot

3. Display all files in flash

4. Delete file from flash

5. Modify bootrom password

6. Enter bootrom upgrade menu

7. Skip current configuration file

8. Set bootrom password recovery

9. Set switch startup mode

0. Reboot

Enter your choice(0-9):

Select <7> and restart the switch. After that, the system will skip the configuration file.

Missing Boot ROM Password

Please contact your agent.

Power System Failure

You can check whether the power system of the switch fails by viewing the POWER indicator on the front panel. If it is in normal operation, the POWER indicator should stay on. Otherwise, please check that:

l The switch power cable is correctly connected.

l The power input to the switch matches the requirement as labeled on the switch.

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.

Troubleshooting when there is no terminal display

If there is no output information after the configuration is powered on, please check that:

l The power supply is normal

l 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 HyperTerminal) parameters. Please perform the corresponding check.

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). Please confirm the following terminal parameter (such as HyperTerminal) settings:

l Bits per second: 9600

l Data bits: 8

l Parity: None

l Stop bits: 1

l Flow control: None

l Emulation: VT100.
