Preparing for installation
H3C S5560-EI Switch Series includes the following models:
•S5560-30S-EI.
•S5560-54S-EI.
•S5560-30F-EI.
•S5560-30C-EI.
•S5560-30C-PWR-EI.
•S5560-34C-EI.
•S5560-54C-EI.
•S5560-54C-PWR-EI.
•S5560-54QS-EI.
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 field replaceable units (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-EI 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.

2
•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
neighboring device from entering the device.
•The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
•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 cause problems including
loose mounting 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 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

3
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.
•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.
•To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by overvoltage or overcurrent caused by lightning
strikes, route interface cables only indoors.
Laser safety
W
ARNING!
The switch is Class 1 laser device. Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser
light emitted from the optical fiber might hurt your eyes.
Installation tools
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Phillips screwdriver
•ESD wrist strap
All these installation tools are user supplied.

4
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.

Using front and rear
mounting brackets
•Install the front mounting brackets
at the port side or power module
side.
•Install the rear mounting brackets
according to the rack depth.
{If the rack depth is in the range
of 429 to 595 mm (16.89 to
23.43 in), orient the bracket
with the wide flange inside the
rack.
{If the rack depth is in the range
of 274 to 440 mm (10.79 to
17.32 in) and the distance from
the rear rack posts to the inner
surface of the cabinet door is
longer than 153 mm (6.02 in),
orient the bracket with the wide
flange outside the rack.

As a best practice, use this method for
enterprise networks.
Using front mounting
brackets and
mounting rail
assemblies
•Install the front mounting brackets
at the port side or power module
side.
•The distance between the front
rack post and the rear rack post
must be in the range of 562 to 754
mm (22.13 to 29.69 in).
As a best practice, use this method to
rack-mount a switch in data centers.

NOTE:
If a rack shelf is available, you can put the switch on the rack shelf, slide the switch to an appropriate
location, and attach the switch to the rack by using the mounting brackets.

Rack-mounting by using front mounting brackets
This task requires two people.
To install the switch in a 19-inch rack by using the front mounting brackets:
1. Identify the mounting positions.
2. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
3. Attach the front mounting brackets to the chassis:
a. Unpack the front mounting brackets and the M4 screws (supplied with the switch) for attaching
the brackets to the switch chassis.
b. Align the round holes in the wide flange of one front mounting bracket with the screw holes in
the chassis. The bracket mounting positions vary by switch model.
−Port side, power module side, or middle installation position for the S5560-30S-EI,
S5560-54S-EI, S5560-30F-EI, S5560-30C-EI, S5560-34C-EI, and S5560-54C-EI.
−Middle installation position for the S5560-30C-PWR-EI, S5560-54C-PWR-EI, and
S5560-54QS-EI.

c. Use M4 screws to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.
d. Repeat the proceeding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.

Figure 10 Attaching the front mounting bracket to the middle installation position
4. Mount the chassis in the rack:
a. 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
b. The other person uses M6 screws and cage nuts (user supplied) to attach the switch to the rack.
