Inspecting the switch
Follow these steps before installing an H3C S7500E switch:
•
Make sure you have read the chapter "
" carefully and the installation site
meets all the requirements.
•
Make sure a 19-inch rack is ready for use. For how to install a rack, see the rack installation guide.
•
Make sure the rack is sturdy and securely grounded; the installation position on the rack is
appropriate for the chassis; no debris exists inside or around the rack.
•
Make sure the switch is ready for installation and has been carried to a place near the rack and
convenient for moving.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure the stability of the rack, mount the switch at the lowest possible position. To mount multiple
switches on the rack, mount the heaviest switch at the bottom of the rack.
