Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. Safety symbols When reading this document, note the following symbols: WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in personal injury.
• Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the device free of obstruction. • Make sure the operating voltage is in the required range. • Use a screwdriver to fasten screws. •...
• Make sure the accessories of the device are not lost or damaged during device moving. Examining the installation site The device can only be used indoors. To ensure correct operation and a long lifespan for your device, the installation site must meet the following requirements. Weight support Make sure the floor can support the total weight of the rack, chassis, modules, and all other components.
The equipment room must also meet strict limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of components, as shown in Table1-4. Table1-4 Harmful gas limits in an equipment room Max. (mg/m 0.006 0.05 0.01 0.04 Cooling system For heat dissipation, make sure the following requirements are met: •...
ESD prevention To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow these guidelines: • Make sure the device and the workbench or rack are reliably grounded. • Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room. For more information, see "Cleanliness." • Maintain the humidity and temperature at acceptable levels. For more information, see "Temperature and humidity."...
Installation tools No installation tools are provided with the device. Prepare installation tools yourself as required.

Item Requirements Without hard disks: 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing With hard disks: 5% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing • Dust concentration ≤ 3 × 104 particles/m3 Cleanliness • No dust on desk within three days • The device and the workbench or rack are reliably grounded.
Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the chassis, contact the local agent of H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby.
As shown in Figure2-1, the device provides a primary grounding point at the rear panel and an auxiliary grounding point at the left side. The primary grounding point has a grounding sign and a grounding screw. The grounding screw at the primary grounding point is also applicable to the auxiliary grounding point.

Device dimensions Rack requirements management bracket at the chassis front front rack posts to the rear door. • 25.5 mm (1.00 in) for the power module 518 mm (20.39 in) to 858 mm (33.78 in) from the handle at the chassis rear front rack posts to the rear rack posts.
Figure2-3 Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the device One person supports the bottom of the device, align the chassis rails with the slide rails, and slide the slide rails into the chassis rails until the mounting brackets are flush with the front rack posts.
The procedure is the same for connecting a grounding cable to the primary grounding point and the auxiliary grounding point. This section uses the primary grounding point as an example. To connect the grounding cable: Remove the grounding screw from the primary grounding point at the device rear. Attach the grounding screw to the ring terminal of the grounding cable.
Orient the power module with its power receptacle at the right. Holding the handle of the module with one hand and supporting the module bottom with the other, slide the power module slowly into the slot along the guide rails. Figure2-7 Installing an AC power module Installing a fan tray CAUTION:...
Figure2-8 Installing a fan tray Installing an interface module CAUTION: • Interface modules are not hot swappable. • To avoid module damage, do not touch the surface-mounted components on an interface module directly with your hands. • Install a filler panel over empty interface module slots to prevent dust and ensure good ventilation in the chassis.
The device does not come with any hard disks and cannot recognize hard disks from other vendors. Purchase hard disks from H3C as needed. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
QSFP+ transceiver modules. For the transceiver module specifications, see "GE fiber Ethernet port", "10 GE fiber Ethernet port" and "40 GE fiber Ethernet port." No transceiver module is provided with the device. As a best practice, use H3C transceiver modules.

Figure2-14 Installing and connecting an optical fiber Connecting the power cord CAUTION: Before powering on the device, make sure the grounding cable is reliably connected and the power source is powered off. Connecting the AC power cord Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC-input power receptacle on the power module. Use a removable cable tie to secure the AC power cord to the power module handle.
Figure2-15 Connecting the AC power cord Connecting the DC power cord Correctly orient the DC power cord connector and insert the connector into the receptacle. Use a removable cable tie to secure the DC power cord to the power module handle. Connect the other end of the power cord to the DC power source.
