1Product overview
Introduction
The H3C WX5004 access controller (WX5004) is a new-generation wireless access
controller product developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (H3C) based on
the updated multi-core CPU platform. Compared with the WX5002, the
previous-generation access controller, the WX5004 has two more groups of combo ports,
allowing for more flexible user configurations. The WX5004 also provides an expansion
slot for future growth. This provides strong processing capability and flexible system
configuration schemes. In terms of reliability, the WX5004 uses pluggable power supply
units (PSU). Thus, you can choose to use double PSUs for high reliability or use a single PSU
for economical sake.
Physical properties
Figure 1 shows the appearance of the WX5004.

2Installation preparations
WARNING!
Installation and removal of the unit and its accessories must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Read all of the Safety Instructions supplied with your device before installation and operation.
WARNUNG!
Installation und Ausbau der Anlage und ihrer Zubehörteile müssen von qualifiziertem Personal
realisiert werden. Sie müssen vor der Installation oder Bedienung allen beiliegenden
Sicherheitshinweise lesen.
警告
负责安装和日常维护本设备的人员必须具备安全操作基本技能。在操作本设备前，请务必认真阅读和执行
产品手册规定的安全规范。
To avoid device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe these
rules:
Pull the power plug(s) out of the access controller before cleaning it. Do not clean
the access controller using wet cloth or liquid.
Keep the access controller away from water or dampness. Prevent water or
moisture from entering the chassis of the access controller.
Do not place the access controller on an unstable case or desk. The access
controller might be damaged severely in case of a fall.
Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the ventilation vents of
the access controller free of obstruction.
Make sure that the operating voltage is the same one labeled on the access
controller.
Do not open the chassis when the access controller is operating or when electrical
hazards are present to avoid electrical shocks.
When replacing interface modules, wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap to avoid
damaging the interface modules.

Unpacking and inspection
Before unpacking the package, ensure that the package is not damaged and that it
does not show signs of water damage. While opening the package and removing the
contents, avoid using excessive force.
The accessories vary with the models. For the exact contents of the package, refer to
the packing list. If the contents do not match the packing list, contact your H3C
representative.
If the package is found to be rusted or water soaked, stop unpacking and contact your
H3C representative immediately.
Installation site examination
The WX5004 must be used indoors. You can mount the WX5004 in a cabinet or on a
workbench. Make sure that:
Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet/exhaust vents for heat dissipation.
The cabinet or workbench is in an environment with a good ventilation system.
The cabinet is sturdy enough to support the access controller and its accessories.
The cabinet or workbench is well earthed.
To ensure normal operation and long service life of your access controller, install it in an
environment that meets the requirements described in Requirements on temperature
and humidity, Cleanness requirements, Anti-static requirements, and Electromagnetic
environment requirements in Appendix C.
Laser safety
The WX5004 is a Class 1 laser device.
When the optional optical ports on the WX5004 are operating, avoid staring into the
optical interfaces because the high-energy laser beam emitted from the optical fiber
can damage your retina.
WARNING!
Do not stare at the laser beam of an optical fiber. Eye damage can occur.
Installation tools
Flat-blade screwdriver

11
Phillips screwdriver: P2-150mm
ESD-preventive wrist strap
NOTE:
Installation tools and ESD-preventive wrist strap are user-supplied.

3Installation
CAUTION:
If you are going to have an H3C agent maintain your access controller, ensure that the
dismantlement-preventive seal on a mounting screw of the access controller chassis is intact. If
you want to open the chassis, you should contact the agent for permission. Otherwise, you are
responsible for consequences resulting from your actions.
This chapter provides procedures for installing the WX5004 access controller:

NOTE:
There are three screw holes on both the right and left sides of the rear, and upper part of the
access controller for installing the bearing screws. Locate the proper hole to install a bearing
screw to each side. The rear mounting brackets can support the weight of the access controller
through firm contact with the bearing screws.
4. Determine the position for installing the access controller on the rack. Use screws
and the corresponding cage nuts to fix the rear mounting brackets to the rear
square-hole rack rails (see Figure 8
Figure 8 Install rear mounting brackets to the rack
(1) Rear square-hole rack rails
5. Support the bottom of your access controller with one hand and hold the front part
of the access controller with the other hand, and then gently push the access
controller into the rack (see Figure 9

4. Hold the two sides of the access controller with both hands, and then gently slide
the access controller into a proper position on the rack (see Figure 4 Make sure that
the bottom of the access controller touches the slide rails.
Figure 4 Installation with front mounting brackets and slide rails
NOTE:
Make sure that there is at least 1 U (44.45 mm, 1.75 in.) height away from neighbor devices for
heat dissipation.
5. Use M6 screws and cage nuts to fix the front mounting brackets to the front
square-hole rack rails, so that the front mounting brackets and the slide rails can fix
the access controller on the rack steadily (see Figure 5
