Preparing for installation

H3C S12500-X Switch Series includes the following models:

•S12510-X AC.

•S12510-X DC.

•S12516-X AC.

•S12516-X DC.

Safety recommendations

To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read Compliance and Safety Manual provided

with the switch and all safety recommendations in this chapter carefully before installation. The

recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.

General safety recommendations

•Keep the chassis clean and dust-free.

•Do not place the switch on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the switch.

•Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.

•Keep the chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.

•Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get

caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the switch.

Electricity safety

•Clear the work area of possible electricity hazards, such as ungrounded power extension cables,

missing safety grounds, and wet floors.

•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation so you can quickly shut power

off when an electrical accident occurs.

•Remove all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.

•Do not work alone when the switch has power.

•Always verify that power has been disconnected from a circuit.

Handling safety

CAUTION:

Do not hold the handle of a fan tray or a power distribution box, or the air vents of chassis to move the

switch. Any attempt to move the switch with these parts might cause equipment damage and even

bodily injury.

When you move an H3C S12500-X switch, follow these guidelines:
