Attaching The Slide Rails To The Rack; Mounting The Switch In The Rack - H3C S6825 Series Installation Manual

Attaching the slide rails to the rack

IMPORTANT:
M6 screws and cage nuts are used to attach the slide rails to the rack. Prepare M6 screws and cage
nuts yourself. As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws.
Before mounting the switch in the rack, you must attach slide rails to the rack.
The installation procedure is the same for different types of slide rails. The following procedure
attaches 1U long slide rails to the rack.
To attach the slide rails to the rack:
1. Identify the slide rail installation position on the rack based on the switch installation position.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear rack post, and then use M6
screws (user-supplied) to attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure2-17.
4. Attach the other slide rail to the rear rack post on the opposite side.
Make sure the two slide rails are at the same height and can slide into the chassis rails
smoothly.

Mounting the switch in the rack

This task requires two people.
To mount the switch in the rack:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch
chassis.
3. Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts.
