WARNING

• Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or optical fibers without eye protection.

• Do not install power cables while the power is on.

• Do not turn on the power until you have finished installing the chassis and connecting cables.

CAUTION

• This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

• Take ESD protection measures during equipment installation and maintenance. For example, wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap.

• Do not place other objects on the chassis.

The installation site for the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI must meet the following requirements:

• 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.

• Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the rear and both sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.

• Ensure that the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the switch operation requirements.

The chassis dimensions for the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI are as follows:

When installing the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI, the cabinet must meet these requirements:

• The switch can be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet/rack complying with IEC297.

• The CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI (420 mm deep) can be installed in a 600 mm or deeper cabinet.

• On a switch, the side with power modules and fan modules is the power supply side, and the side with service ports is the port side. To leave sufficient cabling space, ensure that the distances from the port side and power supply side to the interior side of the cabinet doors are at least 130 mm and 70 mm respectively.

• The cabinet must have a reliable ground point to ground the switch.

Follow these steps to install the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI into a cabinet:

Before You Start:

• Determine the directions of the port side and power supply side according to actual situations. If the switch needs to connect to servers in the same cabinet, make port sides of the switch and servers face the same direction to facilitate cable connections.

• If the distance between front and rear mounting rails is not within the required range, install guide rails or a tray (self-provided) in the cabinet/rack to support the chassis.

Installation Procedure:

Step 1. Measure the distance between the front and rear mounting rails. The type and installation method of mounting brackets and matching guide rails vary depending on this distance.

Step 2. Fix the appropriate mounting brackets to the switch with M4 screws based on the measured distance. For switches that are 420 mm deep, different combinations of mounting brackets A, B and guide rails E are used for different rail distances (e.g., 310 mm-351 mm, 369 mm-410 mm, etc.).

Step 3. Install eight floating nuts on the front and rear mounting rails, two on each mounting rail.

Step 4. Connect the ground cable to the chassis ground point and place the other end on top of the chassis. The ground point of the CE6850HI, CE6855-48T6Q-HI, CE6856-48T6Q-HI, CE6850U-HI and CE6875EI is located at the power supply side.

Step 5. Secure guide rails on the front mounting rails with M6 screws.

Step 6. Hold the bottom of the chassis with both hands, align the mounting brackets with the guide rails, and slowly slide the chassis into the cabinet.

Step 7. Secure the chassis onto the cabinet with M6 screws.

Step 8. Connect the ground cable to the ground point on the cabinet.

Selecting Power and Fan Modules:

• The switch must use power modules and fan modules that match the product model.

• The power modules and fan modules used in the switch must have the same airflow direction.

• Power modules with different airflow directions or power values, AC and DC power modules, or fan modules with different airflow directions cannot be used in the same chassis.

• FAN-060A series fan modules can only be installed in CE6850HI, CE6850U-HI, CE6855-48T6Q-HI, CE6856-48T6Q-HI and CE6875EI. Installing them in other switch models may damage the fan modules or switches.

• Front-to-back airflow: Power modules and fan modules are identified by a blue AIR IN flag. Air flows from the power supply side to the port side.

• Back-to-front airflow: Power modules and fan modules are identified by a red AIR OUT flag. Air flows from the port side to the power supply side.

Installing Power and Fan Modules:

• If the switch is delivered with modules pre-installed, you do not need to install them again.

• Before installing a module, remove the filler panel from the slot.

• If only one power module is used, install a filler panel in the other power module slot.

• To ensure normal operation, the switch must have two normally running fan modules.

• Do not remove two fan modules simultaneously. Replace a fan module within 3 minutes.

• Power modules and fan modules are hot-pluggable. A fan module is installed the same way as a power module fixed with captive screws.

Power modules are installed differently based on their securing mechanism.

For a power module secured by a captive screw:

Step 1. Insert the power module into a power slot.

Step 2. Tighten the captive screw on the power module panel.

For a power module secured by a lock:

Step 1. Insert the power module into a power slot. When the power module is completely seated in the slot, the lock is locked automatically.

Before connecting cables to your HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI, ensure you meet the following requirements:

• Ground cable: The switch must be reliably grounded. Attach the M4 lug to the switch and the M6 lug to the ground point.

• Ethernet cable: Category 5E or higher is recommended for GE electrical ports. Category 6A shielded or higher is recommended for 10GE electrical ports. To protect from lightning, route outdoor cables underground or in steel pipes.

• Optical fiber: Must be used with optical modules. Connectors must be clean. Cover idle ports with dust plugs. The bend radius of optical fibers must be larger than 40 mm.

• Country-specific AC power cable: Must be more than 10 cm away from signal cables. The AC power outlet must have a current rating of 10 A and comply with local standards. The cable must be locked with a locking strap or bundled to the power module handle.

• C13 to C14 AC power cable: Use when the switch has AC power modules and receives power from an AC PDU, or when using 600 W/1200 W AC&240 V DC modules from a 240 V high-voltage DC PDU.

• 380 V high-voltage DC power cable: Use when the switch has high-voltage DC modules and receives power from a 380 V high-voltage DC power distribution box or frame.

• USB port: Used to transfer upgrade and configuration files during a USB-based deployment.

The following table describes the cable connections for the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6810-32T16S4Q-LI:

Before You Start:

Install third-party terminal simulation software on your PC.

Login Procedure:

Step 1. Use a console cable to connect a PC to the console port of the switch.

Step 2. Start the terminal simulation software, create a connection, select a serial port, and set the following communication parameters:

• Transmission rate: 9600

• Data bit (B): 8

• Parity bit: None

• Stop bit (S): 1

• Flow control mode: None

Step 3. Press Enter. You will be prompted to set an initial password for the first login. Enter ‘y’ to continue.

An initial password is required for the first login via the console.
Continue to set it? [Y/N]: y
Set a password and keep it safe! Otherwise you will not be able to login via the console.

Please configure the login password (8-16)
Enter Password:
Confirm Password:

Important Notes:

• By default, the system will start the zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) process. To cancel this process, press Ctrl+C.

• The password entered in interactive mode is not displayed on the screen.

• If password authentication is not configured, you do not need to enter a password, but this brings security risks. Password authentication is recommended.

• The password is a string of 8 to 16 case-sensitive characters. It must contain at least two types of the following: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits 0 to 9, and special characters excluding question mark (?) and spaces.

• After a login password is configured, this password will be required upon next login if password authentication is used on this user interface.
