Safety recommendations

To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

Safety symbols

When reading this document, note the following symbols:

WARNING WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in personal injury.

CAUTION CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software.

General safety recommendations

·     Do not place the firewall on an unstable case or desk. The firewall might be severely damaged in case of a fall.

·     Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.

·     Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.

·     Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.

·     Do not place the firewall near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from entering the firewall chassis.

·     Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the firewall free of obstruction.

·     Make sure the operating voltage is in the required range.

·     Use a screwdriver, rather than your fingers, to fasten screws.

·     Stack devices according to the sizes of and packing symbols on the packages.

Figure 1-1 Packing symbols

Electrical safety

·     Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

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

·     Do not work alone when the firewall has power.

·     Always verify that the power has been disconnected.

Laser safety

WARNING

WARNING!

Disconnected optical fibers or transceiver modules might emit invisible laser light. Do not stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments when the firewall is operating.

 

The firewall is a Class 1 laser device.

·     Before you disconnect the fiber connector, execute the shutdown command in interface view to disable the optical source.

·     Install dust caps to disconnected optical fiber connectors and ports on disconnected transceiver modules to avoid damage caused by built-up dust.

·     Insert a dust plug into empty fiber ports.

Handling safety

When you move the firewall, follow these guidelines:

·     Move and unpack the firewall carefully to avoid firewall damage.

·     Unpack the firewall at least half an hour and power on the firewall at least two hours after you move it from a place below 0°C (32°F) to the equipment room. This prevents condensation and even damage to the firewall.

·     Use a safety hand truck when you move multiple firewalls.

·     Before you move the firewall, remove all cables and mounting brackets.

·     For long-distance transportation, remove all the field-replaceable units (FRUs), such as power modules and interface modules, and package them separately, and install the filler panels supplied with the firewall. For short-distance transportation, make sure all the FRUs are securely seated in the slots and the screws are fastened.

·     When you move or lift the firewall chassis, support the bottom of the chassis, rather than holding any FRU. Make sure the accessories of the firewall are not lost or damaged during firewall moving.

Examining the installation site

The firewall can only be used indoors. To make sure the firewall operates correctly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements.

Weight support

Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the rack, chassis, modules, and all other components. For more information, see "Dimensions and weights."

Temperature and humidity

Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.

·     Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical property change of materials, and metal corrosion.

·     Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including loose captive screws and circuit failure.

·     High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the firewall.

For the temperature and humidity requirements of the firewall, see Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 Temperature/humidity requirements

Temperature

Relative humidity

·     Operating:

¡     Without hard disks: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)

¡     With hard disks: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)

·     Storage: –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)

·     Operating:

¡     Without hard disks: 5% to 95%, noncondensing

¡     With hard disks: 10% to 80%, noncondensing

·     Storage: 5% to 95%, noncondensing

 

Cleanliness

Dust buildup on the chassis might 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.

Cooling system

The F1005 and F1010 firewalls cool naturally on their own.

The F1020, F1030, F1050, F1060, F1070, F1080, and F1090 firewalls provide left side-intake and right-side exhaust airflow for heat dissipation.

For adequate cooling of the firewall, follow these guidelines:

·     Install the firewall at the installation site with its airflow direction meeting the ventilation requirements.

·     Reserve a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the inlet and outlet air vents.

·     Make sure the installation site has a good cooling system.

Figure 1-2 Airflow through the firewall chassis

 

ESD prevention

ESD prevention guidelines

To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines:

·     Make sure the firewall, the workbench, and the rack are reliably grounded.

·     Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. For more information, see "Cleanliness."

·     Maintain the humidity and temperature at an acceptable level. For more information, see "Temperature and humidity."

·     Put the removed interface modules away on an ESD workbench, with the PCB upward, or put them in ESD bags for future use.

·     Always wear ESD clothing, ESD gloves, and an ESD wrist strap.

Wearing an ESD wrist strap

No ESD wrist strap is provided with the firewall. Purchase one yourself.

Before you attach an ESD wrist strap, make sure the rack or the workbench is reliably grounded.

All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the firewall and application system, adversely affect the firewall in the following ways:

·     A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.

·     Inductance coupling.

·     Electromagnetic wave radiation.

·     Common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling.

To prevent EMI, use the following guidelines:

·     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 firewall far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices.

·     Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.

·     To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning strikes, route interface cables only indoors. If part of the network cable of an Ethernet port must be routed outdoors, connect a lightning arrester to the cable before you plug the cable into the port.

Lightning protection

To protect the firewall from lightning better, follow these guidelines:

·     Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is reliably grounded.

·     Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is reliably grounded.

·     Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power module to enhance the lightning protection capability of the power module.

5.     If the issue persists, contact your local sales agent.

Software loading failure

Symptom

Software loading fails and the system runs the software of the previous version.

Solution

To solve the issue:

1.     Verify that the physical ports are correctly connected.

2.     Verify that no parameter is configured incorrectly during the loading process. You can examine the software loading process displayed on the HyperTerminal for configuration errors. The following errors can lead to software loading failure.

¡     When XMODEM is used to load software, a baud rate other than 9600 bps is selected, but the baud rate for the HyperTerminal is not reset.

¡     When TFTP is used to load software, an incorrect IP address, software name, or TFTP serve path is configured.

¡     When FTP is used to load software, an incorrect IP address, software name, username, or password is entered.

3.     If the issue persists, contact your local sales agent.

NSQM1GT4PFC

The NSQM1GT4PFC interface module provides four 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet copper ports.

·     When the firewall is operating correctly, the four ports operates as common data ports.

·     When the firewall is powered off, the four ports are divided into two bypass port pairs with ports 0 and 1 in one pair and ports 2 and 3 in another pair. The two ports in a pair can act as the uplink and downlink interfaces for a Layer 2 link and form a bypass link. This enables traffic to be transmitted through the firewall even if the firewall is powered off and ensures service continuity.

Ethernet twisted pair cable

Introduction

An Ethernet twisted pair cable consists of four pairs of insulated copper wires twisted together. Every wire uses a different color, and has a diameter of about 1 mm (0.04 in). A pair of twisted copper cables can cancel the electromagnetic radiation of each other, and reduce interference of external sources. An Ethernet twisted pair cable mainly transmits analog signals and is advantageous in transmitting data over shorter distances. It is the commonly used transmission media of the Ethernet. The maximum transmission distance of the Ethernet twisted pair cable is 100 m (328.08 ft). To extend the transmission distance, you can connect two twisted pair cable segments with a repeater. At most four repeaters can be added, which means five segments can be joined together to provide a transmission distance of 500 m (1640.42 ft).

Ethernet twisted pair cables can be classified into category 3, category 4, category 5, category 5e, category 6, and category 7 cables based on performance. In LANs, category 5, category 5e, and category 6 are commonly used.

Table 9-3 Description for commonly used Ethernet twisted pair cables

Type

Description

Category 5

Suitable for data transmission at a maximum speed of 100 Mbps

Category 5e

Suitable for data transmission at a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps

Category 6

Suitable for data transmission at a speed higher than 1 Gbps

 

Based on whether a metal shielding is used, Ethernet twisted pair cables can be classified into shielded twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP). An STP cable provides a metallic braid between the twisted pairs and the outer jacket. This metallic braid helps reduce radiation, prevent information from being listened, and eliminate external electromagnetic interference (EMI) of external sources. STPs have strict application requirements and are expensive although they provide better EMI prevention performance than UTPs, so in most LANs, UTPs are commonly used.

An Ethernet twisted pair cable connects network devices through the RJ-45 connectors at the two ends. Figure 9-3 shows the pinouts of an RJ-45 connector.

Figure 9-3 RJ-45 connector pinout

 

 

NOTE:

The RJ-45 Ethernet ports of the firewall use category 5 or higher Ethernet twisted pair cables for connection.

 

EIA/TIA cabling specifications define two standards, 568A and 568B, for cable pinouts.

·     Standard 568A—pin 1: white/green stripe, pin 2: green solid, pin 3: white/orange stripe, pin 4: blue solid, pin 5: white/blue stripe, pin 6: orange solid, pin 7: white/brown stripe, pin 8: brown solid.

·     Standard 568B—pin 1: white/orange stripe, pin 2: orange solid, pin 3: white/green stripe, pin 4: blue solid, pin 5: white/blue stripe, pin 6: green solid, pin 7: white/brown stripe, pin 8: brown solid.

Ethernet twisted pair cables can be classified into straight-through and crossover cables based on their pinouts.

·     Straight-throughThe pinouts at both ends are T568B compliant, as shown in Figure 9-4.

·     CrossoverThe pinouts are T568B compliant at one end and T568A compliant at the other end, as shown in Figure 9-5.

Select an Ethernet twisted pair cable according to the RJ-45 Ethernet port type on your device. An RJ-45 Ethernet port can be MDI (for routers and PCs) or MDIX (for switches). Table 9-4 and Table 9-5 show their pinouts.

To ensure normal communication, the pins for sending data on one port must correspond to the pins for receiving data on the peer port. When both of the ports on the two devices are MDI or MDIX, use a crossover Ethernet cable; when one port is MDI and the other is MDIX, use a straight-through Ethernet cable. To summarize, straight-through and crossover cables connect the following devices:

·     Straight-through cables connect devices of different types—for example, router to PC and router to switch.

·     Crossover cables connect devices of the same type—for example, switch to switch, router to router, and PC to PC.

If an RJ-45 Ethernet port is enabled with MDI/MDIX autosensing, it can automatically negotiate pin roles.

 

 

NOTE:

The RJ-45 Ethernet ports on the firewall support MDI/MDIX autosensing.

 

Making an Ethernet twisted pair cable

1.     Cut the cable to a required length with the crimping tool.

2.     Strip off an appropriate length of the cable sheath. The length is typically that of the RJ-45 connector.

3.     Untwist the pairs so that they can lay flat, and arrange the colored wires based on the wiring specifications.

4.     Cut the top of the wires even with one another. Insert the wires into the RJ-45 connector and make sure the wires extend to the front of the RJ-45 connector and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ-45 connector and in the correct order.

5.     Crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimping tool until you hear a click.

6.     Use a cable tester to verify the connectivity of the cable.

Optical fiber

Optical fibers feature low loss and long transmission distance.

Optical fibers can be classified into single mode fibers and multi-mode fibers. A single mode fiber (with yellow jacket) carries only a single ray of light; a multi-mode fiber (with orange jacket) carries multiple modes of lights.

Table 9-6 Characteristics of single mode and multi-mode optical fibers

Item

Single mode fiber

Multi-mode fiber

Core

Small core (10 micrometers or less)

Larger core than single mode fiber (50 micrometers, 62.5 micrometers or greater)

Dispersion

Less dispersion

Allows greater dispersion and therefore, signal loss exists.

Light source and transmission distance

Uses lasers as the light source often within campus backbones for distance of several thousand meters

Uses LEDs as the light source often within LANs or distances of a couple hundred meters within a campus network

Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in an optical fiber communication system. They allow the removable connection between optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging and maintenance more convenient. There are multiple types of fiber connectors. Figure 9-6 shows an LC connector.

Follow these guidelines when you connect an optical fiber:

·     Before connecting an optical fiber, make sure the connector and cable type match the interface module.

·     The fiber Ethernet port of the firewall supports only the LC connector.

·     Fiber connectors are fitted with dust caps. Keep the dust caps secure when the fiber connectors are in use. Install dust caps when the fiber connectors are not in use to avoid damage to their end face. Replace the dust cap if it is loose or polluted.

·     Before connecting an optical fiber, use dust free paper and absolute alcohol to clean the end face of the two fiber connectors. You can brush the end faces only in one direction.

·     Never bend or curve a fiber when connecting it.

·     If the fiber has to pass through a metallic board hole, when passing through a metallic board hole or bending along the acute side of mechanical parts, the fiber must wear jackets or cushions.
