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
!
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.
•
Attach dust caps to disconnected optical fiber connectors and dust plugs to 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 removable components, such as power
supplies and interface modules, and package them separately, and install the filler panels
supplied with the firewall. For short-distance transportation, make sure all the removable
components 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 removable component. Make sure the accessories of the firewall are not lost or
damaged during firewall moving.

3
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 weights of the chassis and components, see "Appendix A Chassis views and
technical specifications."
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 Table1-1.
Table1-1 Temperature/humidity requirements
Temperature
Relative humidity
•Operating: 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F)
•Storage: –40°C to +70°C (–40°F to +158°F)
•Operating: 5% to 95%, 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.
Table1-2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance
Concentration limit (particles/m
3
)
Dust particles ≤ 3 × 104(No visible dust on desk in three days)
NOTE:
Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion
and premature aging of components, as shown in Table1-3.

Cooling system
The firewall provides front side-intake and rear 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.
Ensure a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) around the air inlet and outlet vents of the
chassis.
If you install the firewall in a standard 19-inch rack, ensure a distance of 1U (44.45 mm, or
1.75 in) between the chassis and other devices.
•
Make sure the installation site has a good cooling system.
Figure1-2 Airflow through the chassis
ESD prevention
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 power supplies 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.
EMI
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:

5
•
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 supply to enhance the lightning
protection capability of the power supply.
IMPORTANT:

The firewall has three grounding points. Use the grounding point at the power supply side to
ground the firewall. The other two grounding points at the side panels are reserved.
You can ground the firewall in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions
available at the installation site.
Grounding the firewall with a grounding strip
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable through the
grounding strip.
To connect the grounding cable:
1. Remove the grounding screw from the firewall chassis.
2. Attach the grounding screw to the ring terminal of the grounding cable.
3. Use a screwdriver to fasten the grounding screw into the grounding hole on the firewall.
4. Remove the hex nut from the grounding strip.
5. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bend a hook at the other end of the grounding cable. Attach
the hook to the grounding point, and secure the hook with a screw.

Installing a fan tray
CAUTION:
•
The firewall comes with the six fan tray slots empty. To ensure good ventilation, make sure the
firewall is fully configured with fan trays.
•
If a fan tray fails during operation, replace the fan tray as soon as possible and keep
the failed fan
tray in place before you replace it. Do not remove multiple failed fan trays at the same time.
Replace the fan trays one after another.
•
Before installation, make sure the fan tray airflow direction
meets the requirements for installation
ventilation.
•Before installation, orient the fan tray with the "TOP" mark on the top.

15
No fan trays are provided with the firewall. Purchase them as needed.
To install a fan tray:
1. Face the rear panel of the firewall.
2. Orient the fan tray with the "TOP" mark on the top. Grasp the handle of the fan tray with one
hand and support the fan tray bottom with the other. Slide the fan tray along the guide rails into
the slot until the fan tray is fully seated in the slot.
Figure2-10 Installing a fan tray
Installing a power supply
CAUTION:
•
Do not install AC and DC power supplies on the same firewall.
•
Before installing a power supply, make sure the power supply is powered off and the grounding
cable is correctly connected.
No power supplies are provided with the firewall. Purchase them as needed. The installation
procedure is similar for power supplies of different models.
To install a power supply:
1. Remove the filler panel from the target slot.
Figure2-11 Removing the filler panel from a firewall
2. Orient the power supply with its power receptacle to the right of the handle. Holding the handle
of the module with one hand and supporting the module bottom with the other, slide the power
supply slowly into the slot along the guide rails.

Installing a drive
CAUTION:
•
To avoid damage to drives, always hold a drive by its sides. Do not touch anycomponents
and do
not squeeze, vibrate, or strike a drive.
•
Drives are hot swappable.
•Install a filler panel in empty drive slots to prevent dust and ESD damage.
IMPORTANT:
•
The firewall does not come with any drives and cannot recognize drives from other vendors.
Purchase drives from H3C as needed.
•
Before using the drive, execute the fdisk and format commands from the CLI to partit
ion and
format the drive.
To install a drive, push the drive into the slot slowly along the guide rails until the drive seats in the
slot.

Connecting Ethernet cables
Connecting a fiber port
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.
CAUTION:
•
Never bend or curve a fiber excessively. The bend radius of a fiber must be not less than 100 m
m
(3.94 in).
•
Keep the fiber end clean.
•
Make sure the fiber connector matches the transceiver module.
•
Before connecting a fiber, make sure the optical power at the receiving end does not exceed the
transceiver module's upper threshold of the optical receive power. If the optical power at the
receiving end exceeds the threshold, the transceiver module might be damaged.
The firewall supports the following transceiver modules:
•
GE SFP copper transceiver modules.
•
GE SFP transceiver modules.
•
10GE SFP+ transceiver modules.
•
40G QSFP+ transceiver modules.
•
100G QSFP+ transceiver modules.
For the transceiver module specifications, see port specifications in "Appendix A Chassis views and
technical specifications."
No transceiver module is provided with the firewall. As a best practice, use H3C transceiver
modules.

To connect the firewall to the network through an optical fiber:
1. Remove the dust plug from the fiber port.
2. Pull the bail latch on the transceiver module upwards. Skip this step if the bail latch is plastic.
Then correctly orient the transceiver module.
3. Taking the transceiver module by its two sides, push the transceiver module gently into the port
until you feel it snap into place.
