Figure 7 Installing the switch in a standard 19-inch rack Grounding the switch Remove the two grounding screws from the switch chassis. Use the grounding screws to attach one end of the grounding cable to the chassis. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip of the rack in the same way.
Figure 8 Connecting the grounding cable Installing the power modules NOTE: H3C recommends that you install at least three power modules to one power frame. Installing a DC power module Rotate the power frame cover up with both hands. Pull the clip at the bottom left corner of the power module to the left to open the power module panel.

Figure 9 Installing a power module Installing an AC power module To install an AC power module, install a PEM first, and then install the AC power module. To install a PEM: Loosen the screws on the filler panel of the PEM slot with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler panel.
Figure 10 Installing a PEM The procedures for installing an AC power module are similar to installing a DC power module. For more information, see “Installing a DC power module.” Installing a fan tray NOTE: The S12504 has one fan tray. Each of the S12508 and the S12518 has two fan trays. They are installed in the same way.

NOTE: On an S12504 switch, install at least one MPU, one interface card, and three switching fabric modules. On an S12508 or S12518 switch, install at least one MPU, one interface card, and seven switching fabric modules.

Installing a card This section describes how to install an MPU as an example. To install an MPU: Remove the protective box before installing an MPU: Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap and then loosen the captive screws that fix the MPU to the protective box with a Phillips screwdriver.
Figure 17 Installing a card (for the S12508/S12518) Connecting power cords NOTE: Make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position before you connect the power cords. Connecting a DC power cord WARNING! A plastic protection cover is installed in front of the grounding strip to protect operators from being shocked.

Typically 10 A busbars are available in the equipment room but the LSTM2PEMC6 requires a 16 A power cord (AC), so you need to use a 16 A busbar, and make sure that the AC power module system can H3C S12500 provide enough power. For AC power cords used in different countries or regions, see...
Verifying the installation WARNING! Each of the S12504 and S12508 has one power switch, and an S12518 has two power switches. Make sure that you have turned off the power before checking the installation to avoid bodily injury and switch damage.
