•
Use a minimum of two people to move the switch, and use a mechanical lift if necessary.
•
Move the switch carefully.
ESD prevention
To prevent the electric component from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD), adhere
to the following requirements:
•
Ground the switch correctly. For how to ground your switch, see "Installing the switch."
•
Always wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is reliably grounded when installing pluggable
modules. For how to use an ESD wrist strap, see "Installing FRUs."
•
Hold a PCB by its edges. Do not touch any electronic components or printed circuit.
•
Put modules in an ESD bag.
Laser safety
WARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port or view directly with non-attenuating optical instruments when the
switch has power. The laser emitted from the fiber port might hurt your eyes.
The HPE 7500 switches are class 1 laser products.
Examining the installation site
The HPE 7500 switches can only be used indoors. To ensure correct operation and long service life
of your switch, the installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Weight support
Evaluate the floor loading as compared to the actual weight of the switch and its accessories (such
as rack, chassis, modules, and power supplies, and make sure the floor can support the weight of
the rack and the switch chassis.
IMPORTANT:
When evaluating the floor loading, consider switch capacity expansion (for example, installing a
new module) in the future.
Temperature
CAUTION:
If condensation appears on the switch when you move it to a high-temperature environment, dry the
switch before powering it on to avoid short circuits.
To ensure the correct operation of the switch, ensure that the room temperature meets the
requirements described in
.
