4 Site Environment
Do not place this product in an environment with flammable or explosive gases, or smoke.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity. If the relative
humidity is high, use dehumidifiers or dehumidifying air conditioners.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that air vents on the equipment are not blocked.
Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
Grounding the switch helps protect it from lightning, electromagnetic interference, and electrostatic discharge,
and is the prerequisite for a PoE switch to provide power for a PD.
Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the rear and both sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.
S series switches use forced, intelligent, or natural heat dissipation mode. If multiple switches are installed in a
cabinet/rack, leave at least 1 U (44.45 mm) distance between each two switches. This distance is
recommended for switches using forced or intelligent heat dissipation, and is required for switches using
natural heat dissipation.
Ensure that the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the switch operation requirements. For
the specific requirements, see the Hardware Description for your switch on the Huawei support website.
Ethernet cables used outdoors must be buried underground or routed through steel pipes to protect the
switch from lightening. Do not route Ethernet cables overhead.
To protect network ports from lightning, use 8-line surge protectors or Huawei certified 4-line surge
protectors. When installing a network port surge protector, connect the IN ports to network devices and
connect the OUT ports to network ports of the switch.
5 Installing the Chassis
Scenario 1: Desk Mounting
S5710-HI, S6700-EI and S6720-HI series switches cannot be desk mounted.
Do not stack fanless switches on top of or closely next to each other.
Some switch models provide a security slot ( ) near the panel on a side of the chassis. You can install a security
lock (separately purchased) in this slot to protect the switch against theft.
Before You Start
Installation Procedure
Attach four rubber pads to the bottom.
Place the chassis on a desk.

Step 2
(Optional) Install a security lock.
Connect the ground cable to the ground point.
Step 3
Step 4
Scenario 2: Wall Mounting
Before drilling holes in a wall, make sure there are no power cables in the wall to avoid electric shock.
Before You Start

For a wall-mounted switch (S5720-16X-PWH-LI-AC needs to be installed with the port side facing up), take
water-proofing and dust-proofing measures to protect the switch from damage caused by water and dust.
Ensure that there are no flammable or explosive materials near the switch and no obstructions within 100 mm
around the switch.
S3700-HI, S5700-HI, S6720S-EI, and other 420 mm or deeper switches cannot be wall mounted.
The expansion bolts need to be purchased separately.
Use a hammer drill with φ8 drill bit to drill holes
on the wall, and fix the switch on the wall with
expansion bolts.
Connect the ground cable to the ground point.

Step 4

When a chassis uses Category-6 or higher Ethernet cables, the distance between the port side and interior side
of the cabinet door must be larger than or equal to 120 mm.
Switches cannot be installed in a 600 mm deep cabinet when they are equipped with 1150 W PoE power
modules.
To install a 250 mm wide switch in a 19-inch cabinet, purchase long mounting brackets.
For the 220 mm deep models of the S2700 and S3700 series, and the S5700-24TP-SI-AC/DC, each mounting
bracket needs to be fixed on the chassis with only two screws. For other switch models, each mounting
bracket needs to be fixed with three screws.
The floating nuts and M6 screws are not delivered with the switch and need to be separately purchased if
needed.
S6700-EI chassis is heavy, so it is recommended that you install guide rails (separately purchased) in the cabinet to support the
chassis.
Scenario 4: Cabinet/Rack Mounting
S series Ethernet switches can be installed in a 19-inch standard cabinet/rack. Cabinets purchased from other
vendors must have enough space for equipment installation.
If the distance between front and rear mounting rails is not within the required range, install guide rails or a
tray in the cabinet/rack to support the chassis. Guide rails or trays are not delivered with the product and must
be purchased separately.
Before You Start

6 Installing a Power Module
The installation methods for different power modules are the same.
For information about the power module supported by your model, see Power Module in the Hardware
Description of your switch on the Huawei support website.
All the power modules are hot swappable (except the 870 W PoE power module).
When installing a power module, slowly push it into the slot. If you feel resistance or find the module inclined,
pull the module out and push it into the slot again. Do not push the module with force; otherwise, the
connectors on the module and backplane may be damaged.
If only one power module is installed, install a power module filler panel in the empty power module slot.
It is recommended that you install two power modules in a switch to enhance power reliability if the switch
supports double power modules.
7 Installing Cards
Before You Start
The installation methods for different pluggable cards are the same.
For information about the cards supported by your model, see Cards in the Hardware Description of your
switch on the Huawei support website.
Only switch models S5700-SI, S5710-LI, and S5700-EI do not support hot swappable cards.
Cards that do not support hot swappable cannot be installed when the switch is running. You must power off
the switch, install the cards, and then power on the switch to activate the cards.
To use a front 4xGE or 4x10GE optical interface card on the S5700-SI, S5710-LI and S5700-EI, you must also
install an extended rear card ES5D00ETPB00. Otherwise, only two ports instead of four ports on this optical
interface card are available.
When installing a card, slowly push it into the slot. If you feel resistance or find the card inclined, pull the card
out and push it into the slot again. Do not push the card with force; otherwise, the connectors on the card
and backplane may be damaged.
Install filler panels in vacant slots.
Installation Procedure
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the filler panel.
Pull the filler panel out by the captive screw. Keep the filler panel for future use.
Turn the ejector lever of the card 45 degrees outward. Push the card into the chassis with your thumbs
(below the captive screws), until the screw on the front panel is completely in the chassis. Front cards for
the S3700-HI, S5700-HI, and S5710-HI have no screws, but the installation method is the same.
Rotate the ejector lever inward to lock the card after the screw is completely in the chassis.
Use the Phillips screwdriver to fasten the captive screws.
