Preparing for installation
H3C SecPath M9000-AI multiservice security gateways include the M9000-AI-E8 gateway and
M9000-AI-E16 gateway.
Safety recommendations
To avoid bodily injury and equipment damage, read all safety recommendations carefully before
installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
General safety recommendations
•
Keep the gateway clean and dust-free.
•
Do not place the gateway on a moist area, and avoid liquid flowing into the gateway.
•
Make sure the ground is dry and flat and anti-slip measures are in place.
•
Keep the gateway and installation tools away from walk areas.
•
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (for example, necklace) or any other things that could get
caught in the chassis when you install and maintain the gateway.
Electricity safety
•
Clear the work area of possible electricity hazards, such as ungrounded power extension
cables, missing safety grounds, and wet floors.
•
Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room before installation so you can quickly shut
power off when an electrical accident occurs.
•
Unplug all external cables, including power cords, before moving the chassis.
•
Do not work alone when the gateway has power.
•
Always verify that power has been disconnected from a circuit.
Handling safety
When you move the gateway, follow these guidelines:
•
Remove all external cables, including the power cords, before moving the chassis.
•
As a best practice, use a mechanical lift to move the chassis. To move the chassis manually,
use multiple people.
•
Lift and put down the chassis slowly and never move suddenly.
•
Hold the handles of the chassis.
ESD prevention
To prevent the electric component from being damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD), follow
these guidelines:
•
Ground the gateway correctly.
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is correctly grounded when installing FRUs.
•
Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
