[. . . ] 1) Cables for electrical Ethernet interfaces For an electrical Ethernet interface, you can use a category-5 twisted-pair cable (straight-through or crossover), as shown in Figure 3-5: 3-5 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F1000-A Firewall Chapter 3 Hardware Installation Figure 3-5 Ethernet cable assembly Note: In making network cables, shielded cables are preferred for the sake of electromagnetic compatibility. 2) Cables for optical Ethernet interfaces For an optical Ethernet interface, you can choose the appropriate fiber cable, single-mode or multi-mode, depending on the 1000Base-FX SFP optical transceiver you are using (see Table 1-6 for fiber options). Because all the available optical transceivers use LC optical connectors, your must use the fiber cable with LC fiber connectors. All the optical transceivers are hot-swappable. Note: A fiber connector, as defined by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), is a passive component that connects two or more fiber cable segments stably but not permanently. Fiber connectors are indispensable to an optical communication system, making it possible to connect and disconnect optical channels. Following are several fiber connector types: FC: A round optical connector with screw threads ST: A round plug-in optical connector SC: A square optical connector MT-RJ: A square optical transceiver LC: A compact optical connector developed by Lucent Note: The fiber cable selection depends on SFP module. You must specify the desired SFP modules when you purchase a firewall. Otherwise, the fiber cable is not provided. 3-6 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F1000-A Firewall Chapter 3 Hardware Installation III. Connecting an Ethernet cable Take the fixed 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 port on the front panel of the H3C SecPath F1000-A firewall for example. Follow these steps to connect its Ethernet cable: Caution: For each fixed Ethernet interface (for example, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 on the H3C SecPath F1000-A firewall), if both of its electrical and optical ports are connected, the electrical port is regarded as the operating port by default. 1) Connect the Ethernet electrical port Caution: Read the mark above the port to be connected carefully, making sure it is the correct port. Step 1: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the electrical port of the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet 1 and the other end to the peer device. Step 2: Check the status of the LINK LED for the Ethernet 1 interface. 2) Connect the optical Ethernet port Caution: In connecting the fiber cable, observe the following: Do not over-bend the fiber cable. Ensure that the fiber ends are clean. 3-7 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F1000-A Firewall Chapter 3 Hardware Installation Caution: Laser danger: never look into the optical ports that are connected to the laser. It can harm your eyes. Step 1: Correctly connect one end of a fiber-optic cable to the Rx port of the 10/100/1000 Mbps interface on the firewall and the other end to the Tx port on the peer device. Connect another fiber-optic cable between the Tx port on the firewall and the Rx port on the peer device. Step 2: Power up the firewall and check the status of the LINK LED of the Ethernet 1 interface. OFF means no Rx link is present; check the line for the cause. 3. 7 Connecting a PSU The H3C SecPath Series Firewall can be AC-powered or DC-powered. Except for PSU, the two models are exactly the same with respect to functionalities and other features. Note: If both PSUs are connected, they operate in mutual backup mode. 3. 7. 1 Connecting an AC-Input PSU I. AC-input PSU AC input: 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz Figure 3-6 illustrates the power socket on an AC-powered firewall: 3-8 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F1000-A Firewall Chapter 3 Hardware Installation (1) PWR1 switch (3) AC-input PWR1 (2) PWR0 switch (4) AC-input PWR0 Figure 3-6 Power socket on the AC-powered firewall II. Recommended power socket You are recommended to use a single-phase three-terminal socket with an earth contact, which must be properly grounded. The building ground system is often buried during the wiring engineering. Make sure that the building ground system is normal before connecting the AC power cord. III. Connecting an AC-input PSU Take the H3C SecPath F1000-A firewall for example. [. . . ] For the Ethernet cable pinout, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual. 8. 5. 6 Connecting the Interface Cable Step 1: Plug one end of the cable to the GE port on the 1GBE/2GBE module on the firewall and another end to the peer device. (For a PC or Router, use a crossover cable; for a HUB or LAN Switch, use a straight-through cable. ) Step 2: Power up the firewall and check the status of the LED for the module on the front panel of the firewall. ON means the module has passed the POST and can 8-11 Installation Manual H3C SecPath F1000-A Firewall Chapter 8 Multifunctional Interface Modules operate normally; OFF means the POST fails. Step 3: Check the status of the LINK LED on the 1GBE/2GBE module panel. [. . . ]
