Installing the gateway
IMPORTANT:
Keep the packages of the gateway and the components secure for repackaging.
Confirming installation preparations
Before you install the gateway, verify that:
•
You have read the chapter "
" carefully and the installation site meets all
the requirements.
•
A 19-inch rack has been installed. For how to install a rack, see the rack installation guide.
•
The rack is sturdy and securely grounded.
•
The rack has enough space to install the gateway and no debris exists inside or around the
rack.
•
The mounting position of the gateway on the rack has been identified. As a best practice, install
the gateway at the bottom of the rack.
•
The total height of the devices to be installed in the rack is no higher than the available
installation height of the rack and enough clearance is reserved for cable routing. Make sure the
heaviest device is placed at the bottom of the rack.
•
The gateway is ready for installation and has been carried to a place near the rack and
convenient for moving.
Attaching slide rails to the rack
IMPORTANT:
To ensure stability of the rack, install the slide rails to the lowest possible position when installing a
single gateway in the rack. To install multiple devices on the rack, mount the heaviest device at the
bottom of the rack.
If the rack has slide rails, skip this section.
Before you attach slide rails to the rack, verify that the slide rails can support the weight of the
gateway. For the weights of the M9000 gateways, see "
Appendix A Chassis views and technical
As a best practice, order H3C slide rail LSTM2KSGD0. The slide rail has an adjustment range of 500
mm (19.69 in) to 800 mm (31.50 in).
Slide rail installation varies by rack type. The following installation procedure is for your reference
only.
To install slide rails:
1.
Read the signs on the slide rails (see
