H3C S9825 and S9855 switch series are a new generation of high-performance and high-density 400GE, 200GE, and 100GE switches launched by H3C for data centers and high-end campuses. The S9825 and S9855 switches provide high-density 400GE, 200GE, 100GE, 25GE, and 10GE ports and support power supply and fan module redundancy. You can deploy them in the new generation of data center core and aggregation networks. By connecting to upstream S12500 core switches through 400GE or 200GE links and to downstream access switches through 200GE, 100GE, or 40GE links, the S9825 and S9855 switches provide high bandwidth and large-capacity server access.
Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect use, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
· Before cleaning the switch, remove all power cords from 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 good ventilation in the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch free of obstruction.
· Make sure the operating voltage is in the required range.
· To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating. As a best practice, do not open the chassis even if the switch is powered off.
· To avoid ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when replacing a removable component such as a power supply or fan module.
Examining the installation site
The switch must be used indoors. Make sure the installation site meets the following requirements:
· Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet vents for ventilation.
· The rack has a good ventilation system.
· Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle layout 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 neighboring devices from entering the top device.
· The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
· The rack is reliably grounded.
To ensure correct operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature/humidity
Maintain the temperature and humidity in the equipment room in the acceptable ranges.
· 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 cause problems including loose mounting screws and circuit failure.
· High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the switch.
For information about the temperature and humidity requirements, see H3C S9825 & S9855 Switch Series Hardware Information and Specifications.
Cleanliness
Dust buildup on the chassis might cause electrostatic adsorption and dust corrosion, resulting in poor contact of metal connectors and contact points. This might shorten the device's lifetime and even cause device failure in the worst case. Table1-1 describes the switch requirement for cleanliness.

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application system, adversely affect the switch 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 switch 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.

CAUTION: · To guarantee the grounding effect, connect the switch to a grounding strip in the equipment room by using the grounding cable provided with the switch. · To protect the switch from lighting strikes, see H3C Network Devices Lighting Protection Guide. |
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth to minimize the potential for system damage, maximize the safety at the site, and minimize EMI susceptibility of the system.
You can ground a switch by using a grounding strip at the installation site.
To ground the switch by using a grounding strip:
1. Attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the grounding point on the chassis. For more information, see "Connecting the grounding cable to the switch."
2. Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip.
3. Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding post on the grounding strip, and use the hex nut to secure the ring terminal to the grounding post.
