Preparing for installation
The H3C S10500 Switch Series includes these models:
•S10504
•S10508
•S10508-V
•S10512
Safety recommendations
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read all safety recommendations carefully
before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
General safety recommendations
•Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
•Do not place the switch on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the switch.
•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.
•Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.
Electricity safety
•Clear the work area of possible electricity hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables,
missing safety grounds, and wet floors.
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation so you can quickly shut power
off when an electrical accident occurs.
•Unplug all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
•Do not work alone when the switch has power.
•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Handling safety
CAUTION:
Do not hold the handle of the fan tray, power module, or back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of
chassis. Any attempt to move the switch with these parts might cause equipment dama
g
e and even bodil
y
injury.
When you move an H3C S10500 switch, follow these guidelines:
•Remove all external cables, including the power cords, before moving the chassis.
2
•Moving the chassis requires at least two people, and you can use a mechanical lift as needed.
•Lift and put down the chassis slowly and never move suddenly.
•Hold the handles on the chassis.
ESD prevention
To prevent the electric component from being damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these
guidelines:
•Ground the switch correctly. For how to ground your switch, see "Installing the switch."
•Always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is well grounded when installing FRUs. For how
to use an ESD wrist strap, see "Installing FRUs."
•Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
•Put cards away in ESD bags for future use.
Laser safety
W
ARNING!
Do not stare into any optical port or view directly with non-attenuating optical instruments when the switch
has power. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
The H3C S10500 switches are Class 1 laser products.
Examining the installation site
The H3C S10500 switches must be used indoors. To make sure of the normal operation and long service
life of your switch, the installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Weight support
Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the rack, chassis, cards, power supplies, and all other
components. Additionally, the floor loading plan must also consider system expansion, such as adding
more cards. For more information, see "Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
Temperature
CAUTION:
If condensation appears on the chassis when you move it to a high-temperature environment, dry the
chassis before powering it on to avoid short circuits.
To ensure the normal operation of the switch, make sure the room temperature meets the requirements
in Table 1.

Humidity
Maintain appropriate humidity in your equipment room, as described in Table 2.
•Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical
property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts.
•Lasting low relative humidity is likely to result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even
electrostatic discharge (ESD), which causes the circuits to fail.

Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication
failure.

EMI
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) might be coupled from the source to the switch through the following
coupling mechanisms:
•Capacitive coupling
•Inductive coupling
•Radiative coupling
•Common impedance coupling
•Conductive coupling
To prevent EMI, take the following actions:
•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 to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.
•Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
•To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or over-current caused by lightning
strikes, only route interface cables indoors.
Grounding
Using a good grounding system to protect your switch against lightning shocks, interferences, and ESD
is essential to the operating reliability of your switch.
Make sure the resistance between the chassis and the ground is less than 1 ohm.
Power
Perform the following tasks to meet the power requirements:
1. Calculate the system power consumption.
The system power consumption varies by card type and density. For more information about
system power consumption calculation, see "Appendix A Chassis views and technical
specifications."
2. Select power modules and identity the number of power modules.
The total maximum output power of all power modules must be higher than the system power
consumption. For more information about available power modules, see "Appendix B FRUs and
compatibility matrixes."
3. Verify that the power system at the installation site meets the requirements of the power modules,
including the input method and rated input voltage.
Cooling
Plan the installation site for adequate ventilation.
•Leave at least 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance at the inlet and outlet air vents.
•The rack for the switch has a good cooling system.
5
•The installation site has a good cooling system.
•Verify that the airflow design of the chassis meets the airflow design of the installation site.

Installing the switch
IMPORTANT:
Keep the packages of the switch and the components for future use.
Confirming installation preparations
Before you install an S10500 switch, verify that:
•You have read the chapter "Preparing for installation" carefully and the installation site meets all the
requirements.
•A 19-inch rack is ready for use when you install the switch to a rack. For how to install a rack, see
the rack installation guide.
•The rack is sturdy and securely grounded.
•No debris exists inside or around the rack.
•Choose a correct rack mounting position for the switch. Make sure the heaviest device is placed at
the bottom of the rack.
•The total height of the switches to be installed is no higher than the available installation height of
the rack and enough clearance is reserved for cable routing.
•The switch is ready for installation and has been carried to a place near the rack and convenient for
moving.
Attaching slide rails and cage nuts to the rack
(optional)
Installing slide rails
If the rack has slide rails, skip this section.
Before you attach slide rails to the rack, verify that:
•The slide rails can support the weight of the switch. For the weights of the S10500 switches, see
"Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
H3C recommends that you order the H3C Slide Rail Accessories,500mm-800mm (LSTM2KSGD0).
The accessories can be used in racks where the distance between the front and rear rack posts fits
the H3C slide rails:
•When S10500 switches are installed in an enclosed cabinet, the distance between the front rack
posts and the front door must be at least 100 mm (3.94 in) for installing cable management
brackets, and the distance between the front rack posts and the rear door must be at least 660 mm
(25.98 in) for the chassis with cards installed.
8
•To ensure stability of the rack, install the slide rails to the lowest possible position when installing a
single switch on the rack. To install multiple switches on the rack, mount the heaviest switch at the
bottom of the rack.
•Identify the rack position for the switch. For the height and other specifications of the 10500
switches, see "Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications."
Slide rail installation varies with rack type. The following installation procedure is for your reference only.
To install a slide rail:
1. Read the signs on the slide rail (see Table 5) to avoid making a mistake.

F/R Front end of the right slide rail Mount this end to the front right rack post.
2. Mark the position on the rack for installing the slide rail:
a. Make sure the bottom edge of the slide rail aligns with the middle of the narrower metal area
between holes, as shown in Figure 4.
b. Each rack post requires six screws to attach the slide rail. You only need to mark the uppermost
square hole and lowermost square hole for installation.
c. Mark the square holes at the same height on the other three rack posts.
One rack unit has three holes, the middle of which is an auxiliary installation hole, and the
other two are standard installation holes. You can distinguish them by the space between each
two holes. The space between a standard installation hole and an auxiliary installation hole is
wider than that between two adjacent standard installation holes.

5. Keep the slide rail horizontally and adjust its length until the installation holes on the rear end of the
slide rail touch the cage nuts on the rear rack post. Then screw in screws and fasten.
Install a screw in each mounting hole of the slide rail to ensure its weight bearing capacity.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to install the other slide rail. Make sure the two slide rails are at the same
height so that the switch can be placed on them horizontally. Figure 7 shows the installed slide
rails.

Attaching mounting brackets and cable
management brackets to the rack
Before installing the switch to the rack, install the cable management brackets and mounting brackets
shipped with the switch. Cable management brackets (signal cable and power cable management
brackets) are used for cabling the switch, and mounting brackets are used for attaching the chassis to the
rack.
Installing cable management brackets
Install the signal cable management brackets separately for the S10508-V switch. All other S10500
switches come with the signal cable management brackets secured to the mounting brackets. In this step,
you only need to install the power cable management brackets for them.
•The S10508-V has two cable management brackets—the signal cable management brackets are
installed at the upper part of the switch, and the power cable management brackets are installed
