If a power distribution box needs to be installed in the same cabinet/rack as the switch, install the switch first, and then the power distribution box. Do not impose loads on the interior bottom (if any) of the cabinet/rack during the installation. Protect your personal safety when dragging the metal handles at the rear of chassis. 5 2 4 6 Installing the Chassis 6.1 Install Floating Nuts and Guide Rails When marking the positions of floating nuts and guide rails, keep the bottom edge of the installation template on the first scale tick counted from the bottom. Positions of mounting brackets only need to be marked on the front mounting rails, whereas positions of expandable guide rails must be marked on both the front and rear mounting rails. Keep the mounting holes on the front and rear mounting rails on the same horizontal plane. (Two persons) Align mounting holes on the installation template with mounting holes on the mounting rails, and fix the installation template on the mounting rails. Mark positions of the mounting brackets and expandable guide rails. Then remove the installation template. Install floating nuts in the marked mounting holes. 1 2 3 Power Distribution Requirements 5 If CloudEngine 16800 series switches use AC or high-voltage DC power supply, the PDU installed in the cabinet must provide at least 16 A of rated output current on each line. Replace the PDU if this requirement cannot be met. If CloudEngine 16800 series switches use DC power supply, the power supply device must provide at least 58.5 A of rated output current on each line. Replace the power supply device if this requirement cannot be met. CloudEngine 16800 series switches must be reliably grounded. Circuit breakers with the current leakage protection function are not recommended for the switches. Cabinet Requirements 4 The Huawei A812 cabinet is recommended. To support the chassis in the cabinet/rack, you can use Huawei expandable guide rails (expandable between 500 mm and 850 mm) or separately purchased guide rails or tray with sufficient load bearing capacity. A 800 mm wide and 1200 mm deep cabinet/rack is recommended. It is recommended that the distance (distance A in the figure) between front mounting tails and the outer side of the front door is in the range from 165 mm to 175 mm, and the distance (distance B in the figure) between front and rear mounting rails is in the range from 650 mm to 750 mm. The cabinet or rack to be adopted must have enough vertical space for device installation: CloudEngine 16816 DC chassis: ≥ 37U CloudEngine 16816 AC & high-voltage DC chassis: ≥ 35U For chassis heat dissipation and convenient maintenance, leave at least 1000 mm of clearance at the front and rear of the switch. Do not install the switch against a wall. If the switch is installed in a 600 mm wide cabinet/rack, do not install a PDU directly facing the switch. Otherwise, the installation and removal of fan modules are affected. When installing a PDU, ensure that the PDU and the switch are installed at different heights in the cabinet/rack. The cabinet must have reliable ground terminals for equipment grounding. Cables must be routed out symmetrically from the left and right sides of the cabinet. An 800 mm wide cabinet can provide sufficient spacing for cabling. If you use AC power modules and AC power cables delivered from Huawei, ensure that an AC power source is available within 3 m (cable distance) away from the power distribution unit (PDU) of the switch. If you use DC power modules, determine the distance from the power distribution cabinet to the PDU of the switch (cable distance) according to site survey results. DC cables delivered from Huawei are 20 m long by default. The cabinet must have sufficient load bearing capacity to support all the devices in it. The minimum load bearing capacity for a single chassis is 859 kg. The cabinet must meet the requirements for front-to-back airflow, and the front and rear doors must have a porosity rate of more than 55%. If necessary, use an earthquake-proof cabinet complying with GR63 Zone4 or Zone3 standard. The following factors must also be taken into account when you select a cabinet: Site Requirements 3 The equipment must be installed in a clean, dry, and well ventilated standard equipment room where temperature can be controlled within a proper range. The equipment room must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity. Take dustproof measures in the equipment room. Dust will cause electrostatic charges on the chassis and affect connections of metal connectors and joints. This shortens equipment service life and may cause failures of the switch. The installation site must be free from acidic, alkaline, or other corrosive gases. The CloudEngine 16816 switch must be used indoors. To ensure normal operations and long service life of the switch, the installation site must meet the following requirements: The temperature and humidity in the installation site must be within allowed ranges. (See the table below.) Item Temperature Operating relative humidity Storage relative humidity Requirement Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C (0 m to 1800 m) When the altitude is between 1800 m and 5000 m, the highest operating temperature reduces by 1ºC every time the altitude increases by 220 m. 5% RH to 85% RH, noncondensing Storage temperature: -40ºC to +70ºC 5% RH to 95% RH, noncondensing Operating/Storage altitude ≤ 5000 m Safety Guidelines 2 Observe all safety regulations and precautions Before installing, operating, or maintaining the equipment, wear an ESD wrist strap and insert the other end into the ESD jack on the chassis or cabinet. Remove conductive objects like jewelry and watches to prevent damages to the equipment and cards caused by electrostatic discharge. ESD protection Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to install, operate or maintain the equipment. Familiarize yourself with all safety precautions before performing any operation on the equipment. Operator qualifications During equipment transport and installation, prevent the equipment from colliding with objects like doors, walls, or shelves. Move an unpacked chassis upright. Do not drag it with it lying down. Do not touch unpainted surfaces of the equipment with wet or contaminated gloves. Do not open the ESD bags of cards and modules until they are delivered to the equipment room. When taking a card out of the ESD bag, do not use the connector to support the card's weight because this operation will distort the connector and make the pins on the backplane connector bend. Do not install or remove the equipment or power cables while power is on. To ensure equipment and personal safety, ground the equipment before powering it on. To ensure personal and equipment safety, observe all the safety precautions on the equipment and in this document. and items do not cover all the safety precautions and are only supplementary to the safety precautions. Follow all the safety precautions and instructions provided by Huawei. The safety precautions outlined in this document are only requirements of Huawei and do not cover general safety regulations. Huawei is not liable for any consequence that results from violation of regulations pertaining to safe operations or safety codes pertaining to design, production, and equipment use. Use multiple persons to move or lift a chassis and take measures to protect personal safety. Laser beams will cause eye damage. Do not look into bores of optical modules or optical fibers without eye protection.

CloudEngine 16816 Switch Quick Installation Guide Issue: 06 Part Number: 31500BEX Protect your personal safety when moving the flat cart and pallet. Do not stand in front of the flat cart when it is moving. 18 floating nuts are used to secure the mounting brackets, and 10 floating nuts are used to secure the guide rails (two for the front end and three for the rear end of each guide rail). Remove the bolts that fix the chassis. Place the flat cart at the rear of the chassis and secure it to the pallet. Step on the brakes of all the casters of the flat cart. One person pulls the metal handles at the rear of the chassis to pull the chassis and adjust the chassis direction, and at least two persons push the chassis horizontally in the front of the chassis, until the chassis cannot move forward. Loosen the bolts on the flat cart, and then secure the bolts to fix the chassis. Push the flat cart with the chassis to the front of the cabinet/rack (with the rear of the chassis facing the cabinet/rack). Remove the screws and bolts that fix the chassis on the flat cart. Align bottom edges at two sides of the chassis with the guide rails and place the chassis onto the guide rails. One person holds the metal handles at the rear of the chassis to drag the chassis and keep the chassis in the correct direction. At least two persons stand in the front of the cabinet/rack to push the chassis along the guide rails, until the mounting brackets on the chassis are completely attached to the mounting rails. Secure the guide rails to the marked positions in the cabinet/rack. Install the guide rails as follows: a. Adjust the length of the guide rails and place them in marked positions on the mounting rails by the plate at the front end and hook at the rear end. The bottom edges of the guide rails must be aligned with scale lines on the mounting rails. Then secure the guide rails with M6 screws. b. Use M6 screws to secure the air baffle to the guide rails, tighten the M6 screws with a torque of 1.96 N·m.
