5.2 Installing the Switch in a Cabinet
Before You Start
Determine the directions of the port side and power supply side according to actual situations. If the
switch needs to connect to servers in the same cabinet, make port sides of the switch and servers face
the same direction to facilitate cable connections.
The CE9860-4C-EI uses back-to-front airflow, that is, air flows from the port side to the power supply
side.
The CE9860-4C-EI requires 4U of vertical space in a cabinet/rack.
Leave 1U between the bottom of the CE9860-4C-EI and the top of another device to avoid the
expandable guide rails scratching the device.
The dimensions (height x width x depth) of the CloudEngine 9860-4C-EI are 175.0 mm x 442.0 mm x
765.0 mm, and the width complies with industry standards. Therefore, the switch can be installed in a
standard 19-inch cabinet/rack complying with IEC 297. A separately purchased non-standard
cabinet/rack must have sucient space for chassis installation.
The CE9860-4C-EI must be installed in a 1000 mm or deeper cabinet.
On a switch, the side with power modules and fan modules is the power supply side, and the side
with service ports is the port side. To leave sucient cabling space:
When optical fibers are configured on all ports, ensure that the vertical distance from the port side to
the interior side of the cabinet door is at least 130 mm.
When high-speed cables are configured on all ports, ensure that the vertical distance from the port
side to the interior side of the cabinet door is at least 150 mm.
The distance from the power supply side to the interior side of the cabinet door is at least 70 mm.
Keep a distance of 550 mm to 855 mm between the front and rear mounting rails.
The cabinet must have a reliable ground point to ground the switch.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that air vents on the equipment are not blocked.
Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the rear and both sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.
Ensure that the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the switch operation
requirements. For the specific requirements, see the for your switch on the
Huawei support website.
5.1 Requirements for the Cabinet
5 Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
Secure positioning pins that match the size of the mounting holes in the cabinet to the
expandable guide rails.
Step 1
Positioning

Mount the expandable guide rails on the mounting rails. Hold an expandable guide rail
horizontally and move it to the planned position. The bottom edge of the expandable guide rail
must be aligned with a scale line on the mounting rails. With the side marked L or R facing the
front of the cabinet, expand the expandable guide rail and hook the positioning pins onto the
mounting rails. Install M6 screws in the top and bottom holes on both sides of the expandable
guide rail to secure it to the cabinet.
Step 2
Install a floating nut 1U (three mounting holes) above the expandable guide rail on each front
mounting rail.
Step 3

Install the switch in the cabinet.
a. Lift the switch onto the expandable guide rails by two persons.
b. Slowly push the switch into the cabinet until the mounting brackets are attached to the
mounting rails.
c. Secure the front mounting brackets on the mounting rails with M6 screws.
Step 5
Install cable management frames. Align the four captive screws on the cable management frames
with the screw holes on the mounting brackets, and tighten the captive screws.

6 Installing Power Modules and Fan Modules
The switch must use the power modules and fan modules matching the product model.
Do not install both AC and DC power modules on the same switch.
Before You Start
Installation Procedure
Before installing a power module, remove the filler panel in the slot.
Power modules support 2+2 backup. If only two power modules are used, install filler panels in the
other two power module slots.
To ensure normal operating, the switch must have five normally running fan modules.
Power modules and fan modules are hot swappable. When replacing power or fan modules, replace
them one by one. Replace a power or fan module within 3 minutes.
The procedure is the same to install both power modules and fan modules. Insert a module horizontally
into a corresponding slot. The module locks into place when it is correctly seated.

7 Installing a Card
Before You Start
The switch is delivered with three filler panels installed. If only one card needs to be installed, install
the card in slot 4. If multiple cards need to be installed, remove filler panels and then install the cards.
Install a filler panel in a vacant slot.
Slowly push a card into the slot. If you feel resistance or find the card inclined, pull the card out and
push it into the slot again. Forcing the card into the slot may damage connectors on the card and
backplane.
All cards are hot swappable. Replace a card within 3 minutes.
CAUTION

6
Remove a filler panel.
a. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the filler panel.
b. Depress the ejector levers at both ends of the filler panel and slowly pull out the filler panel.
Step 1
Install a card. The following example shows how to install a card in slot 4.
a. Rotate the ejector levers of the card 45 degrees outward, and gently push the card fully into the
slot.
b. Rotate the ejector levers inward to lock the card in place.
c. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on the card.

8 Connecting Cables
Before You Start
The cabling of power cables, Ethernet cables, and high-speed cables must meet the requirements for
routing low-voltage cables separately from high-voltage cables. Metallic strength members and metal
armor used in optical fibers must not be routed into the cabinet.
The switch must be reliably grounded.
Category 5E or higher category Ethernet cables are recommended for ETH electrical ports.
Optical fiber
Optical fibers must be used with optical modules. Connectors of fibers and cables must be clean.
The bend radius of an optical fiber must be at least 20 times larger than its diameter. Generally, the bend radius of
optical fibers should be no less than 40 mm.
100GE optical ports use QSFP+/QSFP28 optical modules and optical fibers, QSFP+/QSFP28 active optical cables
(AOCs), or QSFP+/QSFP28 copper cables.
400GE optical ports use QSFP-DD optical modules and optical fibers, QSFP-DD AOC cables, or QSFP-DD copper
cables.

Country-specific AC power cable
Power cables must be more than 10 cm away from signal cables.
The country-specific AC power outlet must have a current rating of 10 A and comply with local standards.
The AC power cable must be locked using a locking strap or bundled to the power module handle using a velcro
strap.
C13 straight female to C14 straight male AC power cable
Ensure that the positive and negative poles of a DC power cable are correctly connected to the
positive and negative sockets on a DC power module, respectively.
The USB port is used to perform USB-based deployment or transfer configuration files and upgrade
files.
Choose this type of power cable when the switch uses AC power modules and receives power from an AC PDU.
Choose this type of power cable when the switch uses 1200 W AC&240 V DC power modules and receives power
from a 240 V high-voltage DC PDU or power distribution box.
If a 240 V high-voltage DC power distribution box is used, make OT or cord end terminals for the cable. Cut the C14
straight male connector o and crimp OT or cord end terminals on the bare wires. Connect the brown wire to a
negative terminal on the DC power distribution box, the blue wire to a positive terminal, and the yellow-green wire
to a protection ground.
