Preparing for installation
The H3C S5560-HI Switch Series includes the following models:
•S5560-32C-HI.
•S5560-56C-HI.
•S5560-38C-HI-XG.
•S5560-56F-HI.
•S5560-56C-PWR-HI.
Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by improper use, read the following safety
recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible
hazardous condition.
•Before cleaning the switch, remove all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet
cloth or liquid.
•Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
•Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case
of a fall.
•Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch
free of obstruction.
•Connect the yellow-green protection grounding cable before power-on.
•Make sure the operating voltage is in the required range.
•To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the switch
is just powered off.
•When replacing FRUs, including expansion cards, power modules, and fan trays, wear an ESD
wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.
Examining the installation site
The S5560-HI switches must be used indoors. You can mount your switch in a rack or on a workbench,
but make sure:
•Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet vents for ventilation.
•The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system.
•Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure ambient air flows into the
switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.
•Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the bottom
device from entering the top device.
•The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.

2
•The rack or workbench is reliably grounded.
To ensure correct operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the
requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature/humidity
Maintain temperature and humidity in the equipment room as described in "Appendix A Chassis views
and technical specifications."
•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 switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see "Technical specifications."
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 1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)
Dust ≤3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)
NOTE:
Dust 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 2.
Table 2 Harmful gas limits in the equipment room
Gas Maximum concentration (mg/m3)
SO20.2
H2S 0.006
NH30.05
Cl20.01
EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of the switch and application
system, adversely affect the switch in the following ways:
•A conduction pattern of capacitance coupling.

3
•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 switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices.
•Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
Laser safety
W
ARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li
g
ht emitted from the optical fiber
might hurt your eyes.
The S5560-HI switches are Class 1 laser devices.
Installation tools
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Phillips screwdriver
•ESD wrist strap
All these installation tools are user supplied.

Installing the switch
CAUTION:
Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mountin
g
screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the
chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence.

You can install the front mounting brackets at the port-side or power-side mounting position as needed.
The following takes power-side mounting as an example. The port-side mounting is similar.
This task requires two people.
To install the switch in a 19-inch rack by using the front and rear mounting brackets:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

2. Attach the front mounting brackets and load-bearing screws to the chassis:
a. Align the round holes in the wide flange of one front mounting bracket with the screw holes in
the power-side mounting position on one side of the chassis.
b. Use M4 screws to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.
c. Repeat the proceeding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.
d. Unpack the load-bearing screws (provided). Attach the load-bearing screw to one of the two
installation positions as red-marked in Figure 8.
e. Repeat the proceeding step to attach the other load-bearing screw to the chassis.

3. Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rack:
Orient bracket arms forward or backward as required.
a. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rear rack posts.
b. Attach the rear mounting brackets to the rear posts with M6 screws (user-supplied).

4. Mount the switch chassis in the rack:
a. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) on the front rack posts.
b. One person supports the chassis bottom with one hand, holds the front part of the chassis with
the other hand, and pushes the chassis into the rack gently.
Make sure the load-bearing screws closely contact with the upper edges of the rear mounting
brackets, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12.
c. The other person aligns the oval holes in the front brackets with the mounting holes in the front
rack posts, and attaches the front mounting brackets with M6 screws (compatible with the cage
nuts) to the front rack posts.
Make sure the front and rear mounting brackets have securely attached the switch to the rack.

Mounting the switch on a workbench
IMPORTANT:
•Ensure good ventilation and 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.
•Avoid placing heavy objects on the switch.
To mount the switch on a workbench:

12
1. Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.
2. Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
3. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.
Grounding the switch
W
ARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the
chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis
ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to
minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions
available at the installation site:
•Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
•Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground
•Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.

system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire
main or lightning rod.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding
strip.
Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
1. Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the chassis.
2. Use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the grounding screw
hole. Make sure the ring terminal and cable do not interfere with expansion card installation.
3. Verify that the grounding cable has been securely connected to the rear grounding point.
