Examining The Installation Site - H3C S12508-AC Installation Manual

WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser light emitted from the optical fiber
may hurt your eyes.

Examining the installation site

The H3C S12500 Routing Switch Series can only be used indoors. To ensure that the switch works
properly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the following requirements:
Weight support
Evaluate the floor loading as compared to the actual weight of the switch and its accessories (such as
cabinet, chassis, cards, and power supply units), and make sure that the floor can support the weight of
the cabinet and the switch chassis.
TIP:
When you evaluate the floor loading, consider router capacity expansion (for example, installing a new
card) in the future.
Temperature
To ensure the normal operation of the switch, make sure that the room temperature meets the
requirements described in
Table 8 Temperature requirements

CAUTION:
If condensation appears on the switch when you move it to a high-temperature environment, dry the switch
