Safety recommendations
Safety symbols
When reading this document, note the following symbols:
WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important
information that if not understood or followed can result in personal
injury.
CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important
information that if not understood or followed can result in data loss, data
corruption, or damage to hardware or software.
General 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.
•Do not place the wireless switch on an unstable case or desk. The
wireless switch might be severely damaged in case of a fall.
•Make sure that the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in
place.
•Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.
•Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.
•Do not place the wireless switch near water or in a damp environment.
Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch chassis.
•Ensure proper ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet
and outlet vents of the switch free of obstruction.
•Make sure that the operating voltage is in the required range.
•Use a screwdriver, rather than your fingers, to fasten screws.

4
•To prevent condensation, unpack the wireless switch at least half an hour
and power on the wireless switch at least two hours after you move the
switch from a place below 0°C (32°F) to the equipment room.
•Stack devices according to the sizes of and packing symbols on the
packages.

Electrical safety
•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist
floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation.
Shut the power off at once in case accident occurs.
•Unplug all the external cables (including power cables) before moving
the chassis.
•Do not work alone when the wireless switch has power.
•Always check that the power has been disconnected.

5
Laser safety
The H3C WX3010E wireless switches are Class 1 laser devices.
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the wireless switch has
power. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber may hurt
your eyes.
•Before you disconnect the fiber connector, execute the shutdown
command in interface view to disable the optical source.
•Install the dust covers to the optical fiber connector to avoid connector
damage by built-up dust.
Examining the installation site
The wireless switch can only be used indoors. To ensure that the wireless
switch works properly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation
site must meet the following requirements:
•Temperature and humidity
•Cleanness
•Cooling system
•ESD prevention
•EMI
•Lightning protection
Temperature and humidity
Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
•Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity
creepage, 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.

6
•High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and
significantly lower the reliability and lifespan of the wireless switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of the wireless switch,
see Table 3.
Table 3 Temperature/humidity requirements
Tem
p
erature Relative humidit
y
0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) 5% to 95%, noncondensing
Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis may 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.

NOTE:
Dust particle diameter 5 m
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 5.

Cooling system
The WX3010E wireless switch adopts left to right airflow for heat
dissipation. To guarantee the performance of this cooling system, you
must consider the ventilation design for the installation site.
Figure 3 Airflow through the WX3010E chassis
•Ensure an adequate clearance around the air intake vents and exhaust
vents. A clearance of more than 10 cm (3.94 in) is recommended.
•Make sure the rack is well ventilated.
ESD prevention
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), note the following guidelines:
•Make sure that the wireless switch and the rack are well grounded.
•Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room.
•Maintain the humidity and temperature at a proper level.
•Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure the wrist strap
makes good skin contact and is well grounded when installing
transceiver module.
NOTE:
The ESD-preventive wrist strap is not provided with the wireless
switch. Order it yourself.
To attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap, perform the following steps:
1. Wear the wrist strap on your wrist.

8
2. Lock the wrist strap tight around your wrist to keep good contact with the
skin.
3. Secure the wrist strap lock and the alligator clip lock together.
4. Attach the alligator clip to the rack.
5. Make sure that the rack is well grounded.

EMI
All electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources, from outside or inside of
the wireless switch and application system, adversely affect the wireless
switch in a conduction pattern of capacitance coupling, inductance
coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, or common impedance
(including grounding system) coupling. To prevent EMI, perform the
following steps:
•Take measures against interference from the power grid.
•Do not use the wireless switch together with the grounding equipment or
light-prevention equipment of power equipment, and keep the wireless
switch far away from them.

9
•Keep the wireless switch far away from high-power radio launchers,
radars, and equipment with high frequency or high current.
NOTE:
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightning protection
To protect the wireless switch from lightning better, do as follows:
•Make sure the grounding cable of the chassis is well grounded.
•Make sure the grounding terminal of the AC power receptacle is well
grounded.
•Install a lightning protector at the input end of the power supply to
enhance the lightning protection capability of the power supply.
