2 Installation Preparation
Precautions
To avoid any device impairment and body injury resulting from improper use, please take the following
precautions:
z Before cleaning the switch, disconnect the power. Do not clean the switch with wet cloth or liquid.
z Keep the switch away from water or dampness. Prevent water or moisture from entering the switch
chassis.
z Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk, because the switch might be damaged
severely in case of a fall.
z Keep the switch room drafty and the switch ventilation hole free of obstruction.
z The switch can operate normally only under correct voltage input. Make sure that the operating
voltage is consistent with that labeled on the switch.
z To prevent electric shock, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating, and do not open
the chassis arbitrarily even when the switch is powered off.
z Before changing interface cards, wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap to prevent the cards from
being damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Requirements on Environment
S3100 Series Ethernet Switches must be used indoors. When you install your switch in a cabinet or on
a desk, you must ensure:
z Enough space is reserved near the air-intake hole and the ventilation hole of the switch for heat
dissipation of the switch chassis.
z The cabinet or the workbench takes good ventilation and heat dissipation system.
z The cabinet or the desk is solid enough to bear the weight of the switch and the accessories.
z The cabinet or the desk is well grounded.
To ensure normal operation and to prolong the life span of the switch, the following requirements on the
installation site must also be satisfied.
Temperature/Humidity Requirements
You should keep your equipment room within the proper temperature and humidity ranges to ensure the
normal operation and working life of your switch. If the humidity in the equipment room is too high for a
long time, it may decrease the insulation attribute of insulating material or even cause electric leakage
of insulating material, and, sometimes, may change the mechanical performance of material and cause
the rustiness and corrosion of metal parts. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive screws may
become loose due to the shrinking of insulation washers; in addition, electrostatic is more likely to be
produced in a dry environment, which may damage the circuit of the switch. High temperature may
cause even greater damage to the switch. High temperature for a long time will speed up the aging of
insulation material, greatly lower the reliability of the switch and greatly reduce the life span of the
switch.
2-1
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different models, refer to section “Overview”.
Cleanness Requirements
Dust is a potential hazard to the safe operation of the switch. Falling on the equipment, it may cause
electrostatic adsorption, and hence result in poor contact of the metal connectors or connection points.
This is more likely to happen when the indoor relative humidity is low; in this case, it may not only
shorten the device’s working life, but also incur communication failure. The requirements on dust
content and particle diameter in the equipment room are shown in the following table:
Table 2-1 Requirements on dust content in the equipment room
Physical active substance Unit Content

4
≤ 3 × 10 (No visible dust on
Dust particle particle/m³
desk in three days)
Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5µm
Besides the requirements on dust, rigorous requirements are also set on the content of chloride, acid,
and sulfide in the air of the equipment room. These kinds of harmful gas will accelerate metal corrosion
and aging of certain parts. The equipment room should be protected from the intrusion of harmful gases
such as SO2, H2S, NH3 and Cl2. The limits of these kinds of harmful gas are shown in the following table.
Table 2-2 Limits on harmful gas in the equipment room
Gas Max content (mg/m³)

SO2 0.2
H2S 0.006
NH3 0.05
Cl2 0.01
Anti-interference Requirements
A switch in use may be affected by the interference from outside the system by way of capacitance
coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic radiation, public impedance (including the grounding
system) coupling or conducting line (power line, signaling line, and transmission line). Therefore, you
should pay attention to the following:
z If AC supply system is TN system, AC power socket should be a single-phase three-line power
socket with Protection Earth (PE) so that the filter circuit on the equipment can effectively filter out
the interference coming from the power supply system.
z Keep the switch far away from high-power radio transmitters, radars, and high-frequency
heavy-current devices.
z Adopt electromagnetic shielding measure if necessary. For example, you can adopt shielded
interface cable.
z Wire interface cables indoors. Do not wire cables outdoors in case that over-voltage and
over-current damage the device.
2-2
Laser Usage Security
S3100 Series Ethernet Switches are category-1 laser equipment.
When an optional interface card of the S3100 Series Ethernet Switches is operating, avoid staring into
the optical interface because the high-energy laser beam emitted from the optical fiber may hurt your
eyes.
Installation Tools
These installation tools are not shipped with S3100 Series Ethernet Switches. You will have to prepare
them beforehand.
z Phillips screwdriver
z Flat-blade screwdriver
z ESD-preventive wrist strap

3 Installation
On a mounting screw of the chassis of the H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches, there is a seal labeled
with H3C. You must keep it intact before asking the agent to maintain the switch. You must get the
permission of the local agent before you can open the chassis. Otherwise, you will be responsible for
irreversible damages caused by your operations.
Installing a Switch
Cabinet Mounting
You can install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet in one of the following four ways:
z Use front mounting ears
z Use front mounting ears and a tray
z Use front mounting ears and rear mounting ears
z Use front mounting ears and guide rails
The installation methods of a switch depend on the depth and width of the switch. For the specific
installation methods, see Table 3-1 and Table 3-2.

z No guide rails are delivered with the device.

z Ensure a clearance of 1U (44.45 mm, namely, 1.75 inches) between devices for the purpose of
heat dissipation.
Desk Mounting
When a 19-inch standard cabinet is not available, you can simply place the switch on a clean desk.
When doing so, you should ensure that:
z The desk is stable and well grounded.
z A clearance about 10 cm (3.9 in.) is reserved around the switch for heat dissipation.
z No heavy object is placed on the switch.
z S3100-SI and S3100-TP-EI Series Ethernet Switches are designed with no fan. Therefore, you
should install them in a drafty environment, and keep at least a vertical distance of 1.5 cm (0.6 in.)
between devices if you need to stack switches one upon another.
Wall Mounting
You can mount some models of S3100 Series Ethernet Switches on concrete walls or wood walls. Table
3-4 lists the models that support wall mounting.

(1) Outside edge of anchor kit
Installation procedure
The wall-mounting procedure is as follows:

1) As shown in Figure 3-16, drill two holes 5 mm across in the wall on the same horizontal line, with a
distance of X mm.
z The distance X between holes varies with devices. For specific distances, see Table 3-4.
z Drill two holes according to the sizes of anchor kits and screws so that anchor kits could go into the
holes, only the edges could remain outside the wall, and the screws could be fixed on the wall
tightly.
2) Insert anchor kits into the holes and keep only the edges outside the wall.
3) Drive screws into the anchor kits, keeping the inside of screw head at least 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) away
from the edge of the anchor kit so that the switch could hang on the screws securely.
3-11
Figure 3-16 Wall mounting
X mm 1.5 mm(Min)
4) Align the two installation holes at the bottom of the switch with these two screws to hang the switch.
When mounting the switch, keep the Ethernet ports of the switch facing downwards and the two sides
with ventilation holes vertical to the ground.
Magnet Mounting
The following two models support magnet mounting:

z S3100-8TP-PWR-EI
z S3100-16TP-PWR-EI
Introduction to magnetic mounting accessories
A set of magnetic mounting accessories consists of one permanent magnets and one M3*6
countersunk head screws, as shown in Figure 3-17. Four sets of magnetic mounting accessories are
needed for each S3100 switch.
Figure 3-17 Magnet and countersunk head screw
(1)
(2)
(1) Permanent magnet (2) M3*6 countersunk head screw
3-12
Follow these steps to complete magnet mounting:

1) As shown in Figure 3-18, use a Phillips screwdriver to pass the countersunk head screw through
the round hole at the center of the permanent magnet, fasten it to a blind nut in the dent of the
switch bottom, and ensure that the permanent magnet and the switch are fastened reliably.
z Remove the cushion, if any, from the dent before installation.

z To ensure the firmness of installation, be sure to use four permanent magnets to secure each
S3100 switch.
2) Attach the magnet-mounted device to the specified location. Take care not to get your fingers stuck
between because the magnetism is very huge.
Figure 3-18 Magnet mounting

(3) M3*6 countersunk head screw
3-13
z Apply magnet mounting to only the above two models. Otherwise, a falloff or mis-operation may
occur.
z Select the installation location carefully. In the case of poor surface, magnet mounting may not be
reliable.
z Put the device at a stable place free from vibrations or shocks. Otherwise, personal injuries or
equipment damage may occur.
z Avoid installing the device at a high place because personal injuries or equipment damage may
occur in case of a falloff.
z Avoid frequently moving the desk-mounted device because such movements may damage the
surface coating.
z Keep the front panel of the device facing downwards and the two sides with ventilation holes
vertical to the ground, if you want to install the device vertically.
z Pay attention that the weight of external cables should not bring about a falloff, which may result in
personal injuries or equipment damage.
z Keep floppy disks and magnetic cards away from magnets to avoid erasure of any information.
z Keep computers and monitors that are easily influenced by magnetic fields away from magnets.
Otherwise, faults may occur to these electronic devices.
Connecting Grounding Cable
z Correctly connecting the switch ground wire is crucial to the lightning protection and
electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of a switch.
z The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.
The power input end of the switch is connected with a noise filter, whose central ground is directly
connected to the chassis, forming the so-called chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). This
chassis ground must be securely connected to the earth so that the faradism and leakage electricity can
be safely released to the earth, enhancing the EMS capability of the switch.
When a Grounding Strip is Available
When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the yellow-green ground
wire of the switch to the grounding screw on the grounding strip (the grounding screw and the grounding
hole are on the rear panel of the switch and are marked with a grounding sign). To do this, follow these
steps:
Step 1: Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.
Step 2: Put the supplied OT terminal of the PGND cable on the grounding screw.
3-14
Step 3: Fasten the grounding screw, which is attached with the OT terminal of the PGND cable, into the
grounding screw hole with a screwdriver.
Figure 3-19 Connect the PGND cable to the grounding hole of switch
(1) Rear panel of the switch (2) Grounding sign

(3) Grounding hole (4) OT terminal
(5) PGND cable (6) Grounding screw
To attach the other end of the PGND cable to the grounding strip in the equipment room, follow these
steps:
Step 1: Cut the PGND cable to a proper length according to the distance between the switch and the
grounding strip.
Step 2: Peel 5 mm (0.20 in.) of insulation sheath using a wire stripper, and then insert the naked metal
part through the black insulation covering into the end of the OT terminal. (Two OT terminals are
provided with the PGND cable when shipped with the switch; select a proper OT terminal according to
the size of the grounding post.)

The fire main and lightning rod of a building are not suitable for grounding the switch. The ground wire of
the switch should be connected to the grounding device for the equipment room.
Where a Grounding Conductor Can be Buried
When there is no grounding strip, but an area with exposed earth is available nearby where a grounding
conductor can be buried, hammer a 0.5 m (1.64 ft.) or longer angle iron or steel tube into the earth. The
angle iron should have a dimension no less than 50 × 50 × 5 mm (1.97 × 1.97 × 0.20 in.) and the steel
tube should have a wall thickness no less than 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) and be zinc-coated. Weld the
yellow-green ground wire to the angel iron or steel tube and treat the joint for corrosion protection.

5 Boot ROM and Host Software Loading
Traditionally, the loading of switch software is accomplished through the serial port. This approach is
slow, inconvenient, and cannot be used for remote real-time loading. To resolve these problems, the
TFTP and FTP modules are introduced into the switch. With these modules, the software and files can
be loaded through Ethernet port conveniently.
This chapter introduces how to load Boot ROM and host software into a switch locally and how to do this
remotely.
Introduction to Loading Approaches

You can load the software locally by using:
z XModem via console port
z TFTP via Ethernet port
z FTP via Ethernet port
You can load the software remotely by using:
z FTP
z TFTP
Boot ROM software version should be compatible with the host software version when you load the
Boot ROM and host software.
Local Software Loading

If your terminal is directly connected to the switch, you can load Boot ROM and host software locally.
Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the switch to ensure
the successful loading.
The loading process of the Boot ROM software is the same as that of the host software, except that
during the Boot ROM loading process, you should press <Ctrl+U> and <Enter> after entering the Boot
Menu and the system gives somewhat different prompts. The following text mainly describes the Boot
ROM loading process.

Loading Software Using XModem Through Console Port
Introduction to XModem
XModem is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and good performance.
XModem transfers files via console port. It supports two types of data packets (128 bytes and 1 KB), two
check methods (checksum and CRC), and error packet retransmission mechanism (generally the
maximum number of retransmission attempts is ten).
The XModem transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a receiving program and a
sending program: The receiving program sends a negotiation packet to negotiate a packet check
method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to transmit data packets. When receiving a
complete packet, the receiving program checks the packet using the agreed method. If the check
succeeds, the receiving program sends an acknowledgement packet and the sending program
proceeds to send another packet; otherwise, the receiving program sends a negative
acknowledgement packet and the sending program retransmits the packet.
Loading Boot ROM software

z If the space of the flash memory is not enough, you can delete the useless files in the flash memory
before software downloading.
z No power-breaking is permitted during software loading.
Remote Loading Using TFTP
The remote loading by using TFTP is similar to the remote loading by using FTP. The only difference is
that it is TFTP that you use when loading software to the switch. In this case, the switch can only be
used as a TFTP client.

6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Software Loading Failure

If software loading fails, the system keeps running in original version.
In this case, check if the physical ports are properly connected:
z If not, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure.
z If so, check the loading procedure information displayed on the HyperTerminal for input errors. If
there is any input error, restart the loading procedure with correct input. For example:
1) When using XModem, verify that you have reset the bits per second of the HyperTerminal to 9600
bps after loading the software with a bits per second other than 9600 bps;
2) When using TFTP, verify that you have provided:
z Correct server and switch IP addresses,
z Correct name of the software to be loaded,
z Correct working path of TFTP server;
3) When using FTP, verify that you have provided:
z Correct server and switch IP addresses,
z Correct name of the software to be loaded,
z Correct username and password.
If software loading fails but there are neither physical connection problems nor input errors, please
contact your agent for help.
Missing Password
Missing user password
If you forget your user password, you can:

Access the Boot Menu:
BOOT MENU

0. Reboot
Select <7> and restart the switch. After that, the system will skip the configuration file.
6-1
Missing Boot ROM Password
Please contact your agent.
Power System Failure

You can check whether the power system of the switch fails by viewing the POWER indicator on the
front panel. If it is in normal operation, the POWER indicator should stay on. Otherwise, please check
that:
z The switch power cable is correctly connected.
z The power input to the switch matches the requirement as labeled on the switch.
Configuration System Failure

After the switch is powered on and the system is normal, the booting information will be displayed on the
configuration terminal. If the configuration system has any faults, there will not be any screen display at
the configuration terminal or the displayed characters will be totally illegible.
Troubleshooting when there is no terminal display
If there is no output information after the configuration is powered on, please check that:
z The power supply is normal
z The console cable is properly connected
If no problems are found after the above-mentioned items have been checked, the cause may lie in the
console cable or the settings of the terminal (such as HyperTerminal) parameters. Please perform the
corresponding check.
Troubleshooting when the terminal display is illegible
If there is illegible display at the configuration terminal, the cause might lie in the parameter setting error
at the terminal (such as HyperTerminal). Please confirm the following terminal parameter (such as
HyperTerminal) settings:
z Bits per second: 9600
z Data bits: 8
z Parity: None
z Stop bits: 1
z Flow control: None
z Emulation: VT100.

Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch
Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power (Socket Strip with

Lightning Protection)
Lightning arrester will not be shipped with the switch. You should purchase it by yourself if needed.
If an outdoor AC power cord should be directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning
arrester for AC power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) before you plug AC power cord into the
switch, thus to prevent the possible damage to the switch due to lightning strike. You can use cable clips
and screws to fasten the lightning arrester for AC power on the cabinet, workbench or the wall of
equipment room.

z Make sure that the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power.
z After inserting AC power cord plug of switch into the socket of lightning arrester, if the green LED is
on and the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the
function of lightning protection has taken effect.
z Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You should correctly locate the problem, whether it is
caused because the ground wire of the arrester is not well grounded or because the live and zero
wires are connected in reverse direction. You may check that in the following way. When the red
LED is on, use a multimeter to examine polarity at the power socket of the arrester. If it is same to
that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that arrester is not well grounded. If it is
adverse to that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that the power socket of the
arrester is set to the reverse polarity. In this case, you should open the power socket of arrester to
correct polarity. After that, if the red LED still alarms, it means that the arrester is not well grounded
yet.
Installation of Lightning Arrester for Network Port
Lightning arrester for network port is specially designed for the Ethernet port of 10/100M electrical
interface (RJ-45 connector is adopted in this case).
Lightning arrester for network port will not be provided along with the switch, and you should purchase
it by yourself if needed.
If an outdoor network cable should be led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester
for network port before you plug this cable into the interface on the switch, in case of the possibility that
the switch may be damaged due to lightning strike.
Required tools
z Phillips screwdriver or Flat-blade screwdriver

z Multimeter
z Tilted wire cutter
Step 1: Tear the protection paper at one side of the double faced adhesive tape apart from the tape, and
stick the tape on the surface of the arrester. Tear the protection paper at another side apart from the
A-2
tape, and stick the arrester onto the chassis of the switch. The arrester should be attached on the
chassis as close to the grounding screw as possible.
Step 2: According to the distance to the grounding screw of the switch, cut the ground wire of the
arrester, and securely tightening its ground wire to the grounding screw of the switch.
Step 3: Use the multimeter to measure whether the ground wire of the arrester contacts well with the
grounding screw of chassis.
Step 4: According to the instruction of arrester for network port, connect the arrester with switch by the
cables (be carefully with the cable direction. Outdoor network cable should be inserted into the
arrester‘s IN end, and the cable connected to the switch should be inserted into the arrester’s OUT end).
When you do that, observe whether the arrester indicators normally display.
The instruction of lightning arrester for network port contains the technical specifications, installation
and maintenance guide of the arrester. Please carefully read it before installing the arrester.
Step 5: Use the nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.

Installation precautions
Fully consider the following items in the installation process, otherwise, the performance of the lightning
arrester for network port will be affected:
z Lightning arrester for network port is installed in reverse direction. In practice, the “IN” end should
be connected to the outdoor network cable and the “OUT” end to the network port on the switch.
z Lightning arrester for the network port is not well grounded. The ground wire for the arrester should
be as short as possible, so to ensure its good contact with the grounding screw of the switch. After
the connection, use the multimeter to confirm that.
z The lightning arrester for the network port is not installed completely. If the switch has more than
one network ports to interconnect with other devices via cables outdoor, you should install lightning
arresters for all these network ports for protection.
