Installation Quick Start

This Installation Quick Start provides basic instructions for installing an SR8800-X-S router. For more detailed installation procedures, see H3C SR8800-X-S Routers Installation Guide.

The figures in this document are for illustration only.

Preparing for installation

ESD prevention

To prevent the electronic components from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD), always do the following before you touch the router, cards, or ICs:

1. Wear an ESD wrist strap.

2. Make sure the wrist strap is correctly grounded. Figure 1 Attaching an ESD wrist strap (on an SR8803-X-S)

Examining the installation site

The SR8800-X-S routers can only be used indoors. To make sure the router operates correctly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the load-bearing, temperature, humidity, cleanness, EMI, grounding, power, and space requirements. For more information, see H3C SR8800-X-S Routers Installation Guide.

Installation tools and accessories

Confirming installation preparations

H3C recommends that you order the H3C Rack Mounting Kit (LSTM2KSGD0) 500 mm (19.69 in) to 800 mm (31.50 in). For the installation procedures, see the installation guide.

Make sure the bottom edge of the slide rail aligns with the middle of the narrower metal area between holes, as shown in Figure 4.

Installing cage nuts

IMPORTANT:

Make sure the total height of the devices to be installed is less than the rack height.

Before mounting the chassis to the rack, install cage nuts to the square holes on the front rack posts.

To install cage nuts to the rack:

1. Determine the positions of the cage nuts according to the holes on the mounting brackets and

positions of the slide rails, as shown in Figure 5.

2. Install c

age nuts to the square holes on each rack post, as shown in Figure 6.

Installing the cable management bracket and mounting brackets

Before installing the router to the rack, install the cable management bracket and mounting brackets shipped with the router. The cable management bracket is used for cable deployment, and mounting brackets are used for attaching the chassis to the rack. Each router is shipped with two mounting brackets and one cable management bracket.

Installing the cable management bracket

Secure the cable management bracket to the left mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 7.

Attaching mounting brackets to the chassis

Before mount the router in the rack, secure the mounting brackets to the chassis, as shown in Figure 8.

1. Secure the mounting bracket with the cable management bracket to the left front of the router.

2. Secure the mounting bracket without the cable management bracket to the right front of the router

(the fan tray side).

Mounting the router in the rack

ARNING!

• Do not hold the fan tray handle, the power module handle, the back cover of the chassis, or the air vents

of the chassis to carry the router. Any attempt to carry the router with these parts might cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.

• After placing the router on the slide rails, do not leave

o of your hands immediately because this might

tip and damage the router, and even cause bodily injury.

To mount the router to the rack:

1. Align the rear of the chassis to the front of the rack.

2. To lift the router, use at least two people or a mechanical lift. Lift the router until the bottom of the

router is a little higher than the slide rails on the rack.

3. Place the router on the slide rails. Slide the router along the slide rails until the mounting brackets

on the router touch the front rack posts, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 9.

4. Secure the

chassis to the rack with screws shipped with the router.
