Installation quick start
This document provides a quick start guide for installing H3C SecPath T9000 Intrusion Prevention System
(IPS) Series. For detailed installation procedure, see
H3C SecPath T9000 Intrusion Prevention System
Series Installation Guide
.
Preparing for installation
If you are to install the IPS in a rack, make sure the following conditions are met:
•
The rack is a standard 19-inch rack. For information about installing the rack, see the installation
guide for the rack.
•
The rack is sturdy and reliably grounded.
•
The rack has sufficient space for installing the IPS.
•
No obstacles exist inside or around the rack.
•
The total height of the devices you are to install in the rack is not higher than the available
installation height of the rack and enough clearance is reserved for cable routing.
•
If you are to install multiple devices in the rack, place the heaviest device at the rack bottom.
Installing the IPS
IMPORTANT:
The IPS is heavy. H3C recommends that you install the IPS at the bottom of the rack.
The IPS is delivered without any filler panels in some card slots. The figures in this document are for
illustration only.
Attaching the slide rails or rack shelf to the rack
When you attach the slide rails or rack shelf to the rack, make sure the top flange of the slide rail or top
surface of the rack shelf aligns with the middle of the narrower metal area between holes, as shown
in
One rack unit (RU) has three holes, the middle of which is an auxiliary installation hole, and the other two
are standard installation holes. You can distinguish them by the space between each two holes. The
space between a standard installation hole and an auxiliary installation hole is wider than that between
two adjacent standard installation holes.
