Installing slide rails
Skip this section if slide rails have been installed on the rack.
Before you attach slide rails to the rack, verify that the slide rails can support the total weight of the switch
and its accessories. For the weight of the S12500-X switches, see "
As a best practice, use H3C slide rails LSTM2KSGD0 for the switch. The slide rails can be used in racks
where the distance between the front and rear rack posts is in the range of 500 mm to 800 mm (19.69
in to 31.50 in). The slide rails occupy 2U installation space and support a maximum weight of 350 kg
(771.60 lb).
To ensure stability of the rack, install the slide rails to the lowest possible position when only one switch
is mounted to the rack. To install multiple switches on the rack, mount the heaviest switch at the bottom of
the rack.
Identify the rack position for the switch. For the height and other specifications of the S12500-X switches,
see "
Appendix A Chassis views and technical specifications
."
The procedures for installing slide rails vary by rack type. The following installation procedures are for
your reference only.
To install slide rails:
