Engineering Labels For Ethernet Cables - H3C S12500 Installation Instructions Manual

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.
The positions of "up", "down", "right" or "left" are all based on the viewpoint of the engineering
person who is working on the label.

Engineering Labels for Ethernet Cables

These labels are affixed to the Ethernet cables that connect the boards in the frames, or on the cables
that connect HUBs and servers or agents of the Value Added Service (VAS) products.
Meaning of the Label
Table B-2 shows the information on both sides of the labels affixed to the Ethernet cables that connect
the boards in the frames.

In VAS products, the information provided on the labels is different, subject to different devices that the
Ethernet cables are connecting.
Labels for the Ethernet cable that connects the HUB and the server
1) The label on the HUB end should indicate the number of the frame and cabinet where the HUB
locates, and the serial number on the HUB.
2) The label on the server end should indicate the number of the frame and cabinet where the server
locates. In case it is a stand-alone server, specific position of the server should be provided.
Labels for the Ethernet cable that connects the HUB and the agent
1) The label on the agent end should contain the serial number of the Ethernet port. The definitions of
the cabinet number and frame number are the same as those described in Table B-2 above.
2) If it is a stand-alone HUB without any cabinet or frame, the label should contain specific location
information that identifies the HUB.
Meaning
MN: Cabinet number
B: Frame number

onsite. If the cable is connected to a router in a
cabinet, the serial numbers of the cabinet, the
frame and the Ethernet interface of the router
should be specified, for example, B02-03-12. If
the cable is connected to the Network
Management Station (NMS), specific location of
the NMS should be given.
