  • Page 49: Installing A Fan Tray

    Installing a Fan Tray An S12500 switch has two fan trays with twelve fan units in each fan tray. The dimension of each fan unit is 38 × 120 × 120 mm (1.50 × 4.72 × 4.72 in). DC power supply is provided on the backplane.
  • Page 50 Installation Preparation Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure that the ESD-preventive wrist strap is properly grounded. Remove the blank panel (if any) from the slot to be used. Installation Procedures Hold a fan tray by the bottom when moving it. Do not lift the module by the handle; otherwise the module may be damaged.

  • Page 51: Installation Preparation

    A switch requires at least one main process unit (MPU), one LPU and six switching fabric modules. The S12500 does not support intermixing of the MPU, LPU, and switching fabric modules. MPUs, LPUs and switching fabric modules are installed at different positions as follows: MPUs and LPUs are installed in the front part of the chassis, where Slot 0 and Slot 1 are for MPUs and other slots are for LPUs.

  • Page 52: Installation Procedures

    Keep the removed the blank panel and protective metal box properly for future use. All the boards for the S12500 are hot-swappable. Installation Procedures Step1 Remove the protective metal box before installing an MPU: Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and then loosen the captive screws that fix the MPU to the protective box with a Philips screwdriver.

  • Page 53: Connecting Interface Cables

    You are recommended to fasten the screws of each module right after you have inserted it. Connecting Interface Cables Cable Routing Recommendations Interface cables and power cords should be separately routed. Reasonable cable routing can improve efficiency by facilitating installation and removal of fan trays, PEM and some other components. An S12508 can connect up to 288 interface cables, with 144 cables respectively on the left and right sides.

  • Page 96: Introduction To Labels

    Appendix B Engineering Labels for Cables Engineering labels are affixed to both ends of the various cables to identify the physical positions of cables on different devices. Labels on the cables facilitate correct and orderly connection of cables, and easy maintenance after the installation. There are two types of engineering labels, specialized for the power cables and signal cables respectively.
  • Page 97 Figure B-1 Label for signal cables 84.0 11.0 10.0 11.0 37.0 (1) Dividing line (2) Cut dotted line The dividing lines on the label help to specify more clearly the position of a cable. For example, there is one between the cabinet number and the frame number and another one between the frame number and the slot number.

  • Page 98: Printing Labels

    Template for the printing The Word-form template is available for label printout. You can get the template from H3C local office. When using the template, you can directly modify the contents on the template, and the following should be observed: The settings of centered characters, direction, and fonts should not be changed.
  • Page 99 After the page setup has been made correct, save it for future use. This page setup is only necessary in the first time you use the template to print the labels. Requirements on feeding the printer Different from the ordinary paper, the label paper is composed of two pages. No matter what model of printer you are using, feed in the labels one after another by hand.

    Since the label paper is made of moistureproof and waterproof material, ink-jet printers and ink pens are forbidden for printing and writing labels. Labels should be affixed with good order in alignment. Cable ties should be bundled in the same position of power cables, with identification plates on the same side.
