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.

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 cage 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.

(3) Installation hole (4) Screw
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).

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

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.

Figure 9 Installing the router in a rack (SR8803-X-S)
If the screw holes on the mounting brackets cannot align with the cage nuts on the rack, perform the
following verifications:
•Verify that the bottom edge of the slide rail aligns with the middle of the narrowest metal area
between holes.
•Verify that the cage nuts are installed in the correct holes.
Grounding the router
CAUTION:
Before using the router, connect the grounding cable correctly to guarantee lightning protection and
anti-interference of the router.
Grounding the router with a grounding strip
CAUTION:
•Use the supplied grounding cable (yellow-green grounding cable).
•Connect the grounding cable to the earthing system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire
main or lightning rod.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable through the
grounding strip.
To connect the grounding cable:
1. Unpack the grounding cable.
The grounding cable provided with the router is compliant with the NEBS standards.
2. Remove the grounding screws from the grounding holes at the rear of the chassis.
3. Use a screwdriver to secure the grounding lug to the router's grounding holes with screws.
4. Connect the ring terminal of the grounding cable to the grounding post of the grounding strip, and
fasten the grounding cable to the grounding strip with the hex nut.

Grounding the router through the PE wire of an AC power module
CAUTION:
•Make sure the AC power module uses a three-wire cable with a protection wire.
•Make sure the PE wire of the AC power module is correctly
g
rounded at the power distribution room or
AC power module transformer side.
•Make sure the PE connector on the router is correctly connected to the PE wire of the AC power module.
You can ground the router through the PE wire of the AC power module, as shown in Figure 11, when the
following conditions exist:
•The router is AC powered.
•No grounding strip is available at the installation site.

Grounding the router through the RTN wire of a DC power module
CAUTION:
Make sure the RTN wire is correctly grounded at the DC egress of the DC power cabinet.
You can ground the router through the return (RTN) wire of the DC power module, as shown in Figure 12,
when the following conditions exist:
•The router is powered by a –48 VDC power module.
•No grounding strip is available at the installation site.
