Preparing for installation
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.
Table 1 Packing symbols

Symbol Description
Transported and stored avoiding humidity, rains and wet floor.
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 Table 2.
Table 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 80% RH, noncondensing
•Storage:
{Without hard disks: 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing
{With hard disks: 5% RH to 90% 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.
Table 3 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m3)
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 Table 4.

Cooling system
For heat dissipation, make sure the following requirements are met:
•A minimum 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-A fan tray blows air from the power module side to the
port side as shown in Figure 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 Figure 2. The fan tray has a red fan tray handle.
Figure 1 Rear to front airflow provided by the FAN-20F-2-A fan tray
Figure 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.

6
•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.
•Install a lightning arrester at the input end of the power module to enhance the lightning
protection capability of the power module.
Power supply
Verify that the power system at the installation site meets the requirements of the power modules,
including the input method and rated input voltage. For more information, see "Appendix A Chassis
views and technical specifications."

The firewall provides multiple installation positions for chassis rails. Install chassis rails to the
appropriate positions and make sure the front ends of the slide rails can reach out of the chassis
rails after the firewall is installed in the rack.

Grounding the firewall
WARNING!
•Correctly connecting the firewall grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI
protection.
•Do not connect the firewall grounding cable to a fire main or lightning rod.
The firewall provides a primary grounding point at the rear panel and an auxiliary grounding point at
the left side. The primary grounding point has a grounding sign and a grounding screw. To use the
auxiliary grounding point, attach the grounding cable to the grounding point before you install the
device in a rack.
The procedure is the same for connecting a grounding cable to the primary grounding point and the
auxiliary grounding point. This section uses the primary grounding point as an example.
To connect the grounding cable:
1. Remove the grounding screw from the primary grounding point at the device rear.
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.
4. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip on the rack.

Installing a power module
CAUTION:
•Make sure the power module is powered off and the device is correctly grounded before
installation.
•Install a filler panel over an empty power module slot to prevent dust and ensure good ventilation
in the chassis.
•Do not install both AC and DC power modules on the same device.
To install a power module:
1. To install the power module to slot PWR1, remove the filler panel from the slot. To install the
power module to slot PWR2, skip this step.
Figure 9 Removing the filler panel
2. Install the power module in a correct direction (with the power receptacle at right):
a. Grasp the handle of the module with one hand and support the module bottom with the
other.
b. Push the power module along the guide rails into the slot until it has firm contact with the
slot.
