Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 LS8M1WCMA0-OVS Overview
LS8M1WCMA0-OVS, the access controller (AC) service card, is applicable to H3C
S7502/7503/7506/7506R Ethernet switches. The LS8M1WCMA0-OVS starts to work
after it is installed in the corresponding slot of a switch. It is powered by the switch and
establishes a 2 GHz bandwidth channel with the switch through its internal interface, so
as to realize the wireless control function.

Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
2.1 Safety Precautions
To avoid device impairment and bodily injury caused by improper use, observe the
following safety recommendations before installing the LS8M1WCMA0-OVS. The
recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
2.1.1 General Instructions
When installing an LS8M1WCMA0-OVS card into a switch, make sure that:
zThe switch chassis is clean and dust-free.
zKeep the switch chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
zDo not wear loose clothing, jewelries (including rings and necklaces) or any other
ornaments that may get hooked by the chassis.
2.1.2 Electrical safety
zCheck carefully whether there are possible dangers on your work site. For
example, the power supply is not grounded, or is not well grounded, or the floors
are wet, and so on.
zBefore installing, check the location of the emergency power switch in the
installation room. When emergency occurs, shut down the power first.
zDo not install or uninstall the card to or from a powered-on switch yourself.
zWhen power-off is required, never assume that the power is off. Always check.
2.1.3 Anti-Static Safety
To prevent the static electricity from damaging the card electrical components, take
anti-static measures on the installation site and note the following when installing the
card:
zWear an ESD-preventive wrist strap.
zHold the edge of the card and do not tough the components or the printed circuit of
the card.
Follow these steps to use an ESD-preventive wrist strap:
Step 1: Put your hand into the ESD-preventive wrist strap.
Step 2: Strain and tighten the strap, and make sure the ESD-preventive wrist strap
makes good skin contact.

Step 3: Insert the grounding terminal of the ESD-preventive wrist strap to the
corresponding jack on the switch chassis, or attach it to the grounding screw of the
chassis with an alligator clip.
Step 4: Make sure the ESD-preventive wrist strap is well grounded.
Caution:
For safety concern, check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap. The
resistance between the human body and the ground should be 1 to 10 M ohm.
2.2 Installation Site Checking
Install the card in a switch in an environment that meets the requirements described in
the following subsections:
2.2.1 Requirements on Temperature/Humidity
You must maintain a proper temperature and humidity in the equipment room. A
long-term high humidity may lead to bad insulation, electricity leakage, mechanical
property changes, and corrosion. However, if the relative humidity is two low, captive
screws may become loose as the result of contraction of insulation washers and static
electricity may be produced in a dry environment to jeopardize the circuits on the device.
High temperature is the most undesirable condition, because it accelerates aging of
insulation materials and can thus significantly lower reliability and service life of your
switch.
2.2.2 Requirements on Cleanness
Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your card. The dust accumulated on the
chassis can be adsorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of metal
connectors or metal contact points. Especially, when the relative indoor humidity is low,
electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. This can not only shorten the service
life of the card but also cause communications failures.
The following table lists the dust concentration limit.

Table 2-1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Physical active
substance Concentration limit (particles/m3)
Dust ≤3 × 104 (No visible dust on the tabletop over three days)
Note: The dust particle diameter is ≥5 μm
Besides the dust requirements, the equipment room also needs to strictly meet the
requirements on the concentration of salt, acid, and sulfide. These harmful gases can
accelerate the metallic corrosion and the aging process of some parts. The specific
limits of the harmful gases such as SO2, H2S, NO2, NH3and CI2are given in the
following table.
Table 2-2 Limit on harmful gases in the equipment room
Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
SO20.2
H2S 0.006
NH30.05
Cl20.01
2.2.3 Anti-Electromagnetic Interference Requirements
The operation of your card may be affected by the switch or external interferences,
such as capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation,
common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling, and the conducted
interference of leads (power cords, signaling cables and output wires). To eliminate the
interferences,
zTake effective measures to prevent the power supply system of the switch from
being interfered by the power grid.
zUse a grounding system or lightning protection grounding different from that for
the electric power equipment and keep them as far as possible.
zKeep the card away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and
high-frequency heavy-current devices.
Use electromagnetic shielding measures when necessary.
2.2.4 Grounding Requirements
You need to provide a good grounding system for the switch. For normal operation of
the switch and the service card, you need to make them anti-lightning, anti-interference
and anti-static.
