Quick start guide
NOTE:
This quick start 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-preventive wrist strap when you touch the switch, cards, or ICs, and make sure that the wrist
strap is well grounded.

Examining the installation site
The H3C S12500 Routing Switch Series can only be used indoors. To make sure that the switch works
properly and to prolong its service lifetime, the installation site must meet the load-bearing, temperature,

Installing cage nuts
1. Align the mounting bracket with the left rack post, making sure that 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 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.

2. Pull the clip at the bottom left corner of the power module to the left to open the power module
panel.
3. Insert the power module slowly into the slot until it is firmly seated in the slot.
4. Close the panel of the power module, press the clip to lock the power module in position, and
close the power frame cover.

Installing an AC power module
To install an AC power module, install a PEM first, and then install the AC power module.
To install a PEM:
1. Loosen the screws on the filler panel of the PEM slot with a Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler
panel.
2. Insert a PEM slowly along the slide rails until it touches the backplane connector.
3. Use the M3 screws supplied with the PEM to fix the PEM to the switch chassis, and fasten the
screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
