Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury caused by incorrect 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 power modules, fan trays, and expansion modules, wear an
ESD wrist strap to avoid damaging the units.
Examining the installation site
The S6800 switches must be used indoors.
Mount your switch in a rack and verify the following items:
•
Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and outlet vents for ventilation.
•
The rack 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.
•
The rack 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 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 cause problems
including loose 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 "Appendix AChassis
views and technical specifications."

3
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 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)
Dust ≤ 3 × 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 3.
Table 3 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.
•
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.

4
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 S6800 switches are Class 1 laser devices.
Installation tools
No installation tools are provided with the switch. Prepare the following tools yourself:
•
Phillips screwdriver.
•
ESD wrist strap.
•
Marker.

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis
The mounting bracket and chassis rail installation procedures are the same for the S6800-32Q,
S6800-54QF, S6800-54QT, S6800-54HF, and S6800-54HT switches. For the S6800-54QF
(LS-6800-54QF-H3) and S6800-54QT (LS-6800-54QT-H3), four screws are required for install a
mounting bracket at the port side. For the other models, three screws are required.
For an S6800-2C, S6800-2C-FC, or S6800-4C switch, use the four screw holes nearest to the port
side and nearest to the power module side to install the mounting brackets at the port side and at the
power module side, respectively.
To attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis:
1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the chassis. Use M4 screws (provided) to
attach the mounting brackets to the chassis.
To install the mounting brackets at the power module side, see Figure 18, Figure 19, and
Figure 20.
To install the mounting brackets at the port side, see Figure 21, Figure 22, Figure 23, Figure
24, Figure 25, Figure 26, and Figure 27.
2. Align the chassis rails with the rail mounting holes in the chassis:
If the mounting brackets are in the power module-side mounting position, align the chassis
rails with the screw holes at the front of the side panels (see Figure 18, Figure 19, and
Figure 20).
If the mounting brackets are in the port-side mounting position, align the chassis rails with
the screw holes at the rear of the side panels (see Figure 21, Figure 22, Figure 23, Figure 24,
Figure 25, Figure 26, and Figure 27).
3. Use M4 screws (provided) to attach the chassis rails to the chassis.
Secure the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way.
To use super-short slide rails for the S6800-54QF (LS-6800-54QF-H3), you can install the
chassis rails through narrow-spacing or wide-spacing installation, depending on the distance
between the front and rear rack posts, as shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24.

Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
CAUTION:
Select
grounding points as required. The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are
located
on the left side panel. If you use one of these grounding points, you must connect the
grounding cable to the grounding point before you mount the switch in the rack.
As a best practice, use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1 because the
grounding cable and grounding screw that come with the switch are suitable only for these two
grounding points.
To use auxiliary grounding point 2, prepare a grounding cable yourself.
This section uses the primary grounding point on the S6800-32Q switch as an example.
To connect the grounding cable to a grounding point:
1. Choose a grounding point. As a best practice, use the grounding point close to the mounting
brackets.
2. Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
You can use the cable and screws shipped with the switch only for connecting to the primary
grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1.
3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the
grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a
screwdriver, as shown in Figure 28.

Attaching the slide rails to the rack
The procedures are the same for attaching 1U and 2U slide rails to the rack. This section uses the 1U
slide rails as an example.
To attach the slide rails to the rack:
1. Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use
screws (user-supplied) to attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure 29.
4. Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can attach into the chassis rails.
