Table1-1 Safety signs Sign Description Circuit or electricity hazards are present. Only H3C authorized or professional device engineers are allowed to service, repair, or upgrade the device. WARNING! To avoid bodily injury or damage to circuits, do not open any components marked with the electrical hazard sign unless you have authorization to do so.
CAUTION means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in data loss, data corruption, or damage to hardware or software. General safety recommendations • Make sure the installation site is flat, vibration-free, and away from electromagnetic interferences.
• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards, such as moist floors. • Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation. Shut off the power immediately if an accident occurs. Remove the power cord if necessary. • Do not work alone when you operate the device with power on.
NOTE: The ventilation performance of the device depends on the installation density and ventilation in the rack. In a high-density environment, the available operating temperature might decrease. Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low.
Figure1-1 Airflow through the device Rack To rack-mount the device, make sure the rack meets the following requirements: • The rack is sturdy enough to support the weights of the device and its accessories. • The rack is grounded reliably. •...
Altitude To ensure correct operation of the device, make sure the room altitude meets the requirements as described in Table1-6. Table1-6 Altitude requirements Item Description –60 m to +3000 m (–196.85 ft to +9842.52 ft) Operating altitude The allowed maximum temperature decreases by 0.33°C (32.59°F) as the altitude increases by 100 m (328.08 ft) from 900 m (2952.76 ft) Storage altitude –60 m to +5000 m (–196.85 ft to +16404.20 ft)

Figure2-5 Inner rail (1) Release tab (2) Keyhole slot Attaching inner rails to the device Unpack the inner rails. Pressing the release tab on the inner rail, extend each rail to its maximum length. Attach an inner rail to the device. IMPORTANT: For some devices, you must first remove the transport security screw before attaching inner rails to them.
Attaching outer rails to the rack Identify the left and right outer rails. Determine and mark the outer rail installation position on the rack posts. Make sure the rails take a 1U of rack space at the same height of the rack posts. Figure2-7 Correct and wrong installation positions As shown in Figure2-8, install two M6 cage nuts at the marked positions on each rear rack post.
Page 20
As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf·cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 countersunk head screws. Figure2-9 Securing the front end of an outer rail to the rack c. Adjust the length of the rail and attach the rear end of the outer rail to the rear rack post. As shown by callout 1 in Figure2-10, align the screw holes in the rear end of the outer rail with the cage nuts in the rear rack post and insert the mounting clip into the square hole in the rack post.
Figure2-10 Securing the rear end of an outer rail to the rack Repeat the same procedure to attach the other outer rail to the rack. Make sure the left and right outer rails are installed at the same height so that the device can be installed safe and level on the rack.
Page 22
Figure2-12 Mounting the device in the rack Place the mounting brackets of the device flush against the front rack posts. Then use captive screws to secure the mounting brackets to the front rack posts. As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf·cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the captive screws.
Installing a power supply Remove the filler panel from the power supply slot. Figure2-14 Removing the filler panel from the power supply slot Push the power supply into the slot until it snaps into place. Figure2-15 Installing the power supply Connecting external cables Cabling guidelines WARNING!
Connecting a mouse, keyboard, and monitor Connect one plug of a VGA cable to a VGA connector on the device, and fasten the screws on the plug. Figure2-16 Connecting a VGA cable Connect the other plug of the VGA cable to the VGA connector on the monitor, and fasten the screws on the plug.
Figure2-18 Connecting an Ethernet cable Connecting a fiber port CAUTION: • To connect a fiber port by using an optical fiber, first install a transceiver module in the port and then connect the optical fiber to the transceiver module. • Insert a dust cap into any open optical fiber connector and a dust plug into any open fiber port or transceiver module port to protect them from contamination and ESD damage.
Figure2-19 Connecting an optical fiber Examine the fiber port Link LED to verify that the port is operating correctly. For more information about the Link LED, see "Rear panel LEDs." Connecting a USB device USB devices are hot swappable. To connect a USB device: Connect the USB device to the USB connector, as shown in Figure2-20.
Connecting the power cord WARNING! To avoid damage to the equipment or even bodily injury, use the power cord shipped with the device. Before connecting the power cord, make sure the device and components are installed correctly. To connect the power cord: Open the latch on the tie mount of the cable clamp and slide the clamp backward.
Figure2-22 Pressing the release tab Place the device on a clean, stable antistatic workbench or on the floor. Removing a power supply The power supplies are hot swappable. If two power supplies are installed and sufficient space is available for replacement, you can replace a power supply without powering off or removing the device from the rack.
Powering on and powering off the device Important information If the device is connected to external storage devices, make sure the device is the first device to power off and then the last device to power on. This restriction prevents the device from mistakenly identifying the external storage devices as faulty devices.
Procedure Powering off the device from its operating system Connect a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to the device. Shut down the operating system of the device. Disconnect all power cords from the device. Powering off the device by pressing the power on/standby button Press and hold the power on/standby button until the system power LED turns into steady amber.
