Replacing a transceiver module Replacing the XFP, SFP+, SFP, and QSFP+ modules CAUTION: Do not touch the golden finger of a transceiver module during replacement. The replacement procedures for the XFP, SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ modules are similar. This section uses an SFP+ module as an example.
Page 96 Replacing the CFP transceiver module Put on an ESD wrist strap. Make sure it has close skin contact and is correctly grounded. Remove the CFP transceiver module. a. Loosen the captive screws on the CFP transceiver module. b. Pull out the CFP transceiver module slowly along the slide rails. Put the removed CFP transceiver module in an antistatic bag or in its original shipping materials.
Page 97 • If the cable cannot be removed or installed, verify that the removal or installation procedures are correct. • When you remove a cable, pull the pull latch horizontally. Otherwise, the cable cannot be removed smoothly, or even the module or slot could be damaged. To replace an SFP+ cable: Put on an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it has close skin contact and is correctly grounded.

Page 137: Appendix D Lightning Protection
Appendix D Lightning protection Connecting the AC power supply to a power strip with lightning protection If part of the AC power line is routed outdoors, use a power strip with lightning protection to connect the AC power cord of the switch to the AC power line to protect the switch from being damaged by lightning strikes.
Page 138: Installing A Lightning Protector For A Network Port
If part of the network cable of a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper Ethernet port must be routed outdoors, connect a lightning protector to the cable before you plug the cable into the port. H3C recommends that you install a lightning protector for 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper Ethernet ports.
Page 139 Installation procedure To install a lightning protector: Use a double-faced adhesive tape to stick the lightning protector onto the switch chassis, and make sure it is as close to the grounding screw of the switch as possible. Measure the distance between the protector and the grounding screw of the switch, cut the ground wire of the protector as appropriate, and securely tighten the ground wire to the grounding screw of the switch.
Page 140: Appendix E Engineering Labels
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 141: Generic Labels
Figure 103 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 cords. 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 142: Labels For Devices
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.
