Page 153 Appendix E Engineering labels Engineering labels are used to identify cables and devices for easy maintenance after installation. There are two types of engineering labels, labels for cables and labels for devices. Labels for cables Cables include signal cables such as network cables and fibers, and power cords such as AC power cords and DC power cords.
Page 154 Figure 88 Label for power cords (1) Cable tie (2) Dividing line on the label Generic labels A generic label is bar-shaped with fixed dimensions. It is applicable to both signal cables and power cables. A mark "TO:" is located at the upper left corner in the right area of the label to identify the peer end of the cable on which the label is affixed.
Page 155 A device label is used to identify the device name, model, address, installation date, and so on. Filling in labels You can print or write desired contents on labels. H3C recommends that you print labels. To print labels, select a label printer and a proper label template as needed. For more information about using a label printer, see the user guide of the printer.
