Mounting the switch in a rack

CAUTION:

Remove fan trays, power modules, and filler panels from the switch before moving if you lift the
switch manually. Reinstall these components after installing the switch in the rack.

Do not hold the handle of a fan tray, a power module, or a card, or the air vents of the chassis to
move the switch. Any attempt to carry the switch with these parts might cause equipment damage or

even bodily injury.

After you place the switch on the slide rails, do not leave go of your hands immediately because this
might tip the switch, damaging the switch or even causing bodily injury.

To mount the switch in the rack:

1.

Face the rear of the chassis towards the front of the rack.

2.

Use a minimum of four people to move the switch by holding the chassis handles.
H3C recommends that you use a mechanical lift to lift the switch.

3.

Place the switch on the slide rails from the front of the rack and slide the switch along the guide
rails until the mounting brackets on the switch touch the front rack posts tightly, as shown by

callout 2 in

4.

Use screws provided with the switch to attach the mounting brackets to the rack posts.
