Page 16: Installing Frus
This section describes the installation procedures for the MPUs, LPUs, switching fabric modules, fan trays, and power modules. For the compatibility matrix between these modules and the switch models, see H3C S12500X-AF Switch Series Installation Guide. WARNING! Long-time exposure to strong air flow might cause discomfort. As a best practice, do not stand close to the air outlet vents while the switch is operating. -

As shown by callout 3 in Figure 13, pull the ejector levers of the MPU outward when most part of the MPU is inserted in the slot. Push the MPU until the brakes on its ejector levers touch the slot edges tightly. As shown by callout 4 in Figure 13, continue to push the MPU by its middle part on the front... -
Page 18: Installing Lpus
As shown by callout 4 in Figure 14, push the MPU until the handle breaks touch the slot edges tightly. As shown by callout 5 in Figure 14, continue to push the MPU handle until the MPU is secure in position. Fasten the captive screws on the MPU. -
Page 19: Installing S12500-X Lpus
CAUTION: To prevent card damage and ensure correct operation, LPUs can only be used with switching fabric modules of the same type. • Type T LPUs have a character T in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1CGQ36TD1). Type T switching fabric modules have a character string of SFT in their card identifier (for example, LSXM1SFT16E1). - Page 20 Installing an S12500-X LPU The S12500-X LPU edges and the ejector lever seats on the LPU slots have purple marks. To install an S12500-X LPU: As shown in Figure 16, loosen the captive screws that secure the LPU to the protection box, pull the ejector levers of the LPU outward, and pull out the LPU from the protection box.

Page 25: Installing Cable Management Brackets
Installing cable management brackets The cable management brackets are installed on the two sides of the LPU slots. As a best practice, install cable management brackets after you have installed LPUs. As shown in Figure 20, insert the cable management bracket end that has a spring tab into the cable management bracket hole until the bracket has close contact with the hole. - Page 26 CAUTION: The S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, S12508X-AF, and S12504X-AF switches use slots 18 to 23, 14 to 19, 10 to 15, and 6 to 11 for switching fabric modules, respectively. • To use an LSXM1TGS24FX1 LPU, the three lowest-numbered switching fabric module slots take precedence over other slots for module installation.

Page 30: Installing Fan Trays For The S12516X-Af, S12512X-Af, And S12508X-Af Switches
Installing fan trays for the S12516X-AF, S12512X-AF, and S12508X-AF switches IMPORTANT: The fan tray is high and heavy. To avoid device damage and bodily injury, use two people to install or remove a fan tray. To install a fan tray for the S12516X-AF/S12512X-AF/S12508X-AF switch: Orient the fan tray with the upside up based on the orientation of characters on the fan tray and align the fan tray with the fan tray slot. -
Page 31: Installing Fan Trays For The S12504X-Af Switch
Installing fan trays for the S12504X-AF switch Orient the fan tray correctly. To install a fan tray in the FAN1 slot, orient the fan tray so that the LEDs are on the left side of the front panel. To install a fan tray in the FAN2 slot, orient the fan tray so that the LEDs are on the right side of the front panel. - Page 32 The power module is foolproof. If the power module is oriented incorrectly, you cannot install the power module into the slot. If you encounter a hard resistance while inserting the power module, pull out the power module, reorient it, and then insert it again.
