Preparing for installation
The H3C S9820-64H switch is a high-density intelligent 100G switch developed for data center and
high-end campus networks, providing powerful hardware forwarding capacity and abundant data
center features.
The switch provides the following ports and FRUs:
•
100G QSFP28 ports.
•
Two 1G management Ethernet ports (one fiber port and one copper port).
•
Removable fan trays in redundancy mode and flexible airflows. By using different fan trays, you
can change the airflow direction of the chassis to adapt to ventilation needs.
•
Removable power supplies in redundancy mode.
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.
•
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.
•
To avoid ESD damage, always wear an ESD wrist strap when replacing power supplies and fan
trays.
Examining the installation site
The switch must be used indoors. Make sure the installation site meets the following requirements:
•
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
neighboring devices 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.
