Quick installation guide
This quick installation guide provides basic instructions for installing an S12500 routing switch. For more
detailed installation procedures, see H3C S12500 Routing Switch Series Installation Guide.
Preparing for installation
ESD prevention
To prevent the electronic components from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD), always
wear an ESD wrist strap when you touch the switch, cards, or ICs, and make sure the wrist strap is
correctly grounded.
Figure 1 Attaching an ESD wrist strap (on an S12508)

Examining the installation site
The H3C S12500 Routing Switch Series can only be used indoors. To make sure the switch operates
correctly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the load-bearing, temperature,
humidity, cleanness, EMI, grounding, power module, and space requirements. For more information, see

Removing the power frame mounting bracket
Before you mount the switch in a rack, remove the power frame mounting bracket with a Phillips
screwdriver.
Figure 3 Removing the power frame mounting bracket
Installing the switch in a rack
Check before installation
Before installation, make sure the bottom edge of the slide rails or rack shelf aligns with the middle of the
narrower metal area between holes.
Figure 4 Installing the slide rails
(1) Middle of the narrower metal area between holes
(2) 1 RU
Installing cage nuts
1. Align the mounting bracket with the left rack post, making sure the bottom edge and the slide rail
are level. Mark the positions of the cage nuts on the rack post according to the installation holes
4
on the mounting bracket (each installation hole on the mounting bracket corresponds to one cage
nut).
2. Insert one edge of a cage nut into the hole.
3. Compress the other edge of the cage nut to push the cage nut fully into the hole.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install cage nuts to all the marked positions on the right rack post.
Figure 5 Installing the cage nuts
Mounting the switch in the rack
1. Use several people to place the switch on the slide rails or rack shelf and slide the switch into the
rack until the mounting brackets on the switch touch the front rack posts.
2. Fix the mounting brackets to the cage nuts on the rack posts with mounting screws.
Figure 6 Installing the switch in a standard 19-inch rack

Grounding the switch
1. Remove the two grounding screws from the switch chassis.
2. Use the grounding screws to attach one end of the grounding cable to the chassis.
3. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip of the rack in the same way.
Figure 7 Connecting the grounding cable
Installing the power modules
AC and DC power modules are installed in the same way.
To install a power module:
1. Rotate the power frame panel up with both hands.
2. Pull the clip at the bottom left corner of the power module to the left to open the power module
cover.
3. Insert the power module slowly into the slot until it is firmly seated in the slot.
4. Close the power module cover, press the clip, and push the power module cover to lock the power
module in position.

5. Install other power modules by repeating steps 1 to 4, and close the power frame panel.
Figure 9 Closing the power frame panel (on an S12508)
Installing a fan tray
Each of the S12508 and the S12518 has two fan trays. They are installed in the same way.
To install a fan tray:
1. Remove the blank panel from the slot to be used.
Figure 10 Removing the fan tray blank panel (from an S12508)
2. Lift the fan tray and push it into the slot until it is firmly seated in the slot.

Installing a card
Slot requirements
Install MPUs, LPUs, and switching fabric modules into appropriate slots as shown in Figure 12.
NOTE:
On an S12508 or S12518 switch, install at least one MPU, one interface card, and seven switching fabric
modules.

Installing a card
This section describes how to install an MPU as an example.
To install an MPU:
1. Remove the protective cover before installing an MPU:
{ Put on an ESD wrist strap and then loosen the captive screws that fix the MPU to the protective
cover with a Phillips screwdriver.
{ Pull the MPU out of the protective cover gently, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 Removing the protective cover
NOTE:
Protective cover appearance varies with models. You can remove a protective cover of any model by
using the same way illustrated in this document.
2. Move the ejector levers on the front panel of the MPU outwards, hold up the MPU by one hand
without touching any electronic components on the MPU, and hold the front panel by the other
hand to push the MPU into the slot along the slide rails slowly.
3. Push the ejector levers inward to ensure close contact between the MPU and the backplane.
4. Position the screws into the holes and fasten them with a screwdriver to fix the MPU.

Connecting power cords
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before you connect the power cords.
Make sure the number of power cords is the same as the number of power modules. This section
describes power cord connection when all the power modules are installed on the switch.
Connecting an AC power cord
CAUTION:
Typically 10 A busbars are available in the equipment room but the AC power supply system requires a
16 A power cord (AC), so you need to use a 16 A busbar, and make sure the AC power supply system can
provide enough power. For 16 A AC power cords used in different countries or regions, see
H3C S1250

Routing Switch Series Installation Guide
.
To connect AC power cords:
1. Attach the power cable bracket to the power frame, attach the spring washers, flat washers, and
fasten the screws.
11
Figure 15 Installing the power cable bracket
2. Insert the AC power cord into the power receptacle.
3. Use a cable tie to secure the power cord to the tie-wrap tab on the power cable bracket.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to secure other AC power cords to the power cable bracket.
5. Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the power source.
