Installing cable management brackets
For an S12501X-AF switch, the cable management brackets come attached to the mounting
brackets and do not require separate installation.
The cable management brackets are installed on the two sides of the LPU slots. As a best practice,
install cable management brackets after you have installed LPUs.
As shown in
, insert the cable management bracket end that has a spring tab into the cable
management bracket hole until the bracket has close contact with the hole.

Installing switching fabric modules
CAUTION:
•
Before you install a switching fabric module on the switch, make sure the connectors on the
switching fabric module are not damaged or blocked.
•
When you install a switching fabric module, avoid damaging the connectors on it.
•
Install switching fabric modules or switching fabric module slot filler panels before you install the
fan tray.
•
Install filler panels in the empty switching fabric module slots.
•
To replace or install a switching fabric module for an operating device, first remove the fan tray
that covers the slot of the switching fabric module. Install the fan tray immediately after the
replacement or installation. After the fan tray starts operating, you can replace or install switching
fabric modules whose slots are covered by the other fan tray.
•
The smart speed adjustment feature increases the fan speed when only one fan tray is operating.
Take noise protection measures such as wearing an earmuff or earplug. In addition, make good
preparation before hot swapping a switching fabric module to minimize the operation time.
