[. . . ] Table 3-1 Physical dimensions of the H3C SecPath F100-A firewall Model H3C SecPath F100-A firewall Physical dimensions (H × W × D) 44 × 436 × 330 mm (1. 7 × 17. 2 × 13. 0 in. ) (excluding feet) Follow these steps to rack-mount the H3C SecPath F100-A firewall: Step 1: Check the grounding and stability of the rack. Use the screws to fix the mounting ears at both sides near the front panel of the device. Depending on the actual situation, slide the device along the guide rails to an appropriate place. Step 3: Fix the mounting ears to the rack posts with suitable antirust pan-head screws. Make sure that the device is placed horizontally and securely fixed. 3-2 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F100-A Firewall Chapter 3 Firewall Installation (1) (3) (2) (1) Screws (four) (3) Guide rail (2) Mounting ear Figure 3-2 Rack-mount the firewall 3. 3 Connecting the PGND Wire Caution: Connection of the PGND wire is an important guard against the lightning and interference. Therefore, the user must first correctly connect the PGND wire before installing and using the firewall. The H3C SecPath F100-A firewall provides a grounding screw, which must be well grounded, so as to safely conduct the inductive and leaky current to the earth ground, and thereby improve the capability of the whole device to guard against the electromagnetic interference. The grounding screw of H3C SecPath F100-A firewall, which is marked with grounding symbol, is at the right end on the real panel, as shown in Figure 1-2. Use a PGND wire to connect the grounding screw to the earth ground, and the grounding resistance should not be greater than 5-ohm. Likewise, if the firewall is installed in a 19-inch standard rack, this rack is required to be grounded too. 3-3 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F100-A Firewall Chapter 3 Firewall Installation Caution: The firewall must be well grounded during its operation. Otherwise, it cannot be protected reliably from lightning, which may damage the firewall itself and even the peer device. 3. 4 Connecting to the Console Terminal I. Console port The H3C SecPath F100-A firewall provides an RS-232 asynchronous serial console port, through which you can configure the device. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45 connector that can be plugged to the console port of the firewall; at the other end is a DB9 (female) connector, which can be plugged to the serial interface of the console terminal. Figure 3-3 illustrates a console cable. A X3 A Figure 3-3 Console cable assembly III. Connecting the console cable Before configuring the firewall through a console terminal, follow these steps to connect the console cable: Step 1: Select a console terminal. The console terminal can be either a PC or a standard ASCII terminal with an RS-232 serial interface. Turn the power switch off, connect the DB9 serial interface of the console cable to the PC, and then connect the RJ-45 interface to the console port of the firewall. The console terminal shows the startup information of the firewall if the connection is correct. For details, see section 4. 1. 3 "Booting Process". 3-4 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F100-A Firewall Chapter 3 Firewall Installation 3. 5 Connecting to the Ethernet Interface I. Ethernet interface H3C SecPath F100-A firewall provides four fixed 10/100 Mbps autosensing LAN interfaces, and three fixed 10/100 Mbps autosensing WAN interfaces for connection to switches or routers. Note: The four LAN interfaces on H3C SecPath F100-A firewall can work at Layer 2 and in Hub mode. You can configure the four LAN interfaces to work at Layer 3 by executing the insulate command in system view. At this time, the interfaces LAN0, LAN1, LAN2 and LAN3 on the firewall correspond to E0/0, E0/1, E0/2 and E0/3 interfaces in the command line respectively; by executing the undo insulate command in system view, you can configure the four LAN interfaces to work in Hub mode. At this time, the interfaces LAN0, LAN1, LAN2 and LAN3 on the firewall correspond to interface E0/0 in the command line; WAN0, WAN1 and WAN2 interfaces correspond to E1/0, E1/1 and E1/2 interfaces in the command line respectively. II. [. . . ] Pins 1 and 2 of the connectors are for transmitting data, and Pins 3 and 6 are for receiving data. 7-5 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F100-A Firewall Chapter 7 MIM Modules Figure 7-9 Ethernet cable II. Making an Ethernet cable To make an Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors using a category-5 twisted-pair cable, refer to Figure 7-10. A category-5 twisted-pair cable is composed of eight wires that are identified and grouped by colors of the outer insulator. Usually a solid color wire and a white/solid color wire are organized in pairs. [. . . ]
