To prevent EMI, perform the following tasks: • If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to filter interference from the power grid. • Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency devices.
Installing the switch WARNING! Before installing or moving the switch, remove the power cord. You can install an H3C S1200 switch in a 19-inch rack, on a horizontal surface, on a wall, or under a table. Rack mounting Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

Horizontal surface mounting IMPORTANT: • Reserve a clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the chassis for heat dissipation. • Do not place heavy objects on the switch. To mount the switch on a horizontal surface: Verify that the horizontal surface is sturdy and reliably grounded. Place the switch bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with a dry cloth.

Figure 7 Wall-mounting anchor kit To install the switch on a concrete wall: Drill two holes at the same height, as shown in Figure Figure 8 Hole spacing The hole depth and diameter depend on the wall anchors and screws you use. Make sure you can push the anchors to their full depth in the holes.
Align the two mounting holes in the switch chassis bottom with the two screws on the wall and hang the switch. Make sure the Ethernet ports are facing upwards or downwards and the chassis side panels are perpendicular to the ground. Figure 10 Wall mounting (1) Mounting hole in the switch chassis bottom Under-table mounting...
To mount the switch under a table: Follow the instructions on wall mounting to determine the location of screw holes to be used for under-table mounting. Align the two mounting holes in the switch chassis bottom with the two screws on the bottom of the table and hang the switch.
NOTE: • Keep the protective sleeves for future use. • The fiber ports on the S1224F Switch operate in autonegotiation mode. For the link between the switch and the peer device to operate correctly, verify that the fiber ports on the peer device also operate in autonegotiation mode.
Examine the power LED. If it is ON, the power connection is correct. Figure 15 Connecting the power adapter NOTE: H3C recommends that you ground the S1205-PWR or S1208-PWR if the PD connecting to it is grounded. The grounding cables are user supplied. Verifying the installation After you complete the installation, verify the following items: •...

NOTE: A port with a smaller port ID has a higher priority for getting power. When the PoE power reaches the guard band and a new port requires power, the switch compares the port IDs and performs one of the following actions: •...
