1 Preparing for installation
The term "hard disk" in this document refers to a drive.
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 means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or
followed can result in personal injury.
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.

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 switch 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.

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 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 Table1-2.
Table1-2 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% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing
With hard disks: 10% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing
•Storage: 5% RH to 95% RH, 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.
Table1-3 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 Table1-4.

Cooling system
For heat dissipation, make sure the following requirements are met:
•
Aminimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in) is reserved around the inlet and outlet air vents.
•
The installation site has a good cooling system.
The firewall adopts either of the following airflow for heat dissipation by installing different fan trays:
•
Rear-to-front airflow—The FAN-20F-2-Afan tray blows air from the power module side to the
port side as shown in Figure1-1.The fan tray has a blue fan tray handle.
•
Front-to-rear airflow—The FAN-20B-2-A fan tray draws air from the port side to the power
module side as shown in Figure1-2. The fan tray has a red fan tray handle.
Figure1-1 Rear to front airflow provided by the FAN-20F-2-A fan tray
Figure1-2 Front-to-rear airflow provided by the FAN-20B-2-A fan tray
ESD prevention
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), note the following guidelines:
•
Make sure the firewall and the rack are reliably grounded.

5
•
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 when you install or remove a
transceiver module.
No ESD wrist strap is provided with the firewall. Purchase one yourself.
Before you attach an ESD wrist strap, make sure the rack is reliably grounded.
To attach the ESD wrist strap:
1. Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.
2. Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the skin.
3. Secure the wrist strap lock and the alligator clip lock together.
4. Attach the alligator clip to the rack.

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:
•
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, do as follows:
•
Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is reliably grounded.
•
Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is reliably grounded.
•
If an AC power cord is routed from outdoors for connecting to the device, connect the power
cord first to a power lightning arrester before connecting it to the power receptacle on the
device.
•
If a network cable is routed from outdoors for connecting to an Ethernet port on the firewall,
connect the network cable first to a network port lightning arrester before connecting it to the
port.
IMPORTANT:
No
network port lightning arrester or AC power lightning arrester is provided with the device.
Prepare
them as required. For
the technical specifications and installation instructions for the lightning
protectors, see the documents shipped with them.

Before installation, make sure the airflow direction provided by the fan tray meets the
requirements for installation ventilation.
•
The device comes with both fan tray slots empty. To ensure good ventilation, you must install
two
fan trays of the same model before powering on the device.
•
If a fan tray fails during operation, replace the fan tray as soon as possible and keep
the failed fan
tray in place before replacing it.
•
To prevent damage to the fan tray and the connectors
on the backplane, insert the fan tray gently.
If you encounter any resistance while inserting the fan tray, pull out the fan tray, re-orient it,
and
then insert it again.

No fan tray is provided with the firewall. Purchase fan trays as required. The firewall supports the
FAN-20B-2-A and FAN-20F-2-A fan trays that are hot swappable.
The installation procedures for the FAN-20B-2-A and the FAN-20F-2-A fan trays are similar. The
following procedure installs a FAN-20B-2-A fan tray.
To install a fan tray:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2. Orient the fan tray with the "TOP" mark on the top, grasp the fan tray handle with one hand, and
support its bottom with the other hand. Slide the fan tray along the guide rails into the slot until it
has a firm contact with the backplane.

Installing an MPU or an interface module
CAUTION:
•
Only slots 0/0 and 1/0 on the F5030-D/F5060-D/F5080-D support installation of MPUs.
•
If the F5030-D/F5060-D/F5080-D is installed with two MPUs, you can hot swap an MPU. If the
F5030-D/F5060-D/F5080-D is installed with only one MPU, you cannot hot swap the MPU.
•
Interface modules are not hot swappable.
•
To avoid module damage, do not touch the surface-mounted components on an
interface module
directly with your hands.
•
Install a filler panel over empty MPU and interface module slots
to prevent dust and ensure good
ventilation in the chassis.
No MPU or interface module is provided with the firewall. Purchase them as required. The
installation procedure is the same for MPUs and interface modules.
To install an interface module:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2. Remove the screws on the filler panel with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the filler panel.
Keep the filler panel for future use.

3. Open the ejector levers on the module and slide the module steadily into the slot along the
guide rails.
4. Close the ejector levers until they touch the panel tightly and the module seats into the
backplane.
5. Fasten the captive screws on the module with a Phillips screwdriver.

Installing a hard disk
CAUTION:
•
Hard disks are not hot swappable.
•
Hold a hard disk by its sides. Do not touch hard disk components and do not squeeze, vibrate,
or
strike the hard disk.
•
Install a filler panel over empty hard disk slots to avoid damage caused by build-up dust.
•
Before using a hard disk, execute the fdisk and format commands from the CLI to partition
and format the hard disk.
The device does not come with any hard disks and cannot recognize hard disks from other vendors.
Purchase hard disks from H3C as needed.
To install a hard disk:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2. Remove the filler panel over the hard disk slot.
3. Press the red button on the hard disk panel to release the locking lever.
4. Hold the locking lever, slide the hard disk into the slot along the guide rails, and then close the
locking lever.

Connecting Ethernet cables
Connecting a copper Ethernet port
You can use either a straight-through or a cross-over network cable to connect a copper Ethernet
port. For more information about Ethernet twisted pair cables, see "Ethernet twisted pair cable."
To connect a copper Ethernet port:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the copper Ethernet port of the firewall, and the other
end to the Ethernet port of the peer device.
2. Examine whether the LEDs of the Ethernet port are normal. For more information about LEDs,
see "Appendix B LEDs."
After connecting the firewall to the network, you can use the ping or tracert command to
examine network connectivity. For more information, see the related command reference.
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 switch 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.
•
Do not install a transceiver module connected with a fiber into a fiber port. To connect an optical
fiber, first install the transceiver module in the fiber port and then connect the fiber.
•
Insert a dust plug into any open fiber port.
•
Make sur
e the Tx and Rx ports on a transceiver module are connected to the Rx and Tx ports on
the peer end, respectively.

The firewall supports GE SFP transceiver modules, 10GE SFP+ transceiver modules, and 40GE
QSFP+ transceiver modules. For the transceiver module specifications, see "GE fiber Ethernet port",
"10 GE fiber Ethernet port" and "40 GE fiber Ethernet port."
No transceiver module is provided with the firewall. As a best practice, use H3C transceiver
modules.
Figure2-11 GE SFP transceiver module
Figure2-12 10GE SFP+ transceiver module
Figure2-13 40GE QSFP+ transceiver module
To connect a fiber port:
1. Remove the dust plug from the fiber port.
2. Install a transceiver module. Pull the bail latch on the transceiver module upwards to catch the
knob on the top of the transceiver module. Take the transceiver module by its two sides and
push the end without the bail latch gently into the port until it snaps into place.
3. Remove the dust cap from the optical fiber connector, and use dust free paper and absolute
alcohol to clean the end face of the fiber connector.
4. Identify the Rx and Tx ports on the transceiver module. Plug one end of the optical fiber into the
transceiver module in the firewall, and plug the other end into the transceiver module in the peer
device.
Make sure the Rx port and the Tx port are connected to the Tx port and the Rx port on the peer
device, respectively.
