• Take ESD protection measures during equipment installation and maintenance. For example, wear ESD gloves or an ESD wrist strap.

• Do not place other objects on the chassis.

The installation site for the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6865 must meet the following requirements:

• Do not place this product in an environment with flammable or explosive gases, or smoke.

• The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity. If the relative humidity is high, use dehumidifiers or dehumidifying air conditioners.

• The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that air vents on the equipment are not blocked.

• Leave at least 50 mm clearance at the rear and both sides of the chassis for heat dissipation.

• Ensure that the temperature and humidity at the installation site meet the switch operation requirements. For specific requirements, see the Hardware Description for your switch.

• The HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6865 can be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet/rack complying with IEC297.

• The CE6800 (420 mm deep) switches like the CE6865 can be installed in a 600 mm or deeper cabinet.

• On a switch, the side with power modules and fan modules is the power supply side, and the side with service ports is the port side. To leave sufficient cabling space, ensure that the distances from the port side and power supply side to the interior side of the cabinet doors are at least 130 mm and 70 mm respectively.

• The cabinet must have a reliable ground point to ground the switch.

• If the switches are installed in the same cabinet with a CE12800 switch, keep a distance of 700 mm to 800 mm between the front and rear mounting rails.

Before you begin, determine the directions of the port side and power supply side according to your setup. The mounting bracket installation depends on which side faces front.

Installation Procedure:

Step 1: Measure the distance between the front and rear mounting rails. The type and installation method of mounting brackets and matching guide rails vary depending on this distance.

Step 2: Fix the appropriate mounting brackets to the switch with M4 screws. The combination of brackets and guide rails depends on the measured distance:

• 310 mm-351 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket B + Guide rail E

• 369 mm-410 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket B + Guide rail E

• 438 mm-479 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket B + Guide rail E

• 497 mm-538 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket B + Guide rail E

• 539 mm-637 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket C + Guide rail E

• 638 mm-696 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket C + Guide rail F

• 697 mm-835 mm: Mounting bracket A + Mounting bracket C + Guide rail F

Step 3: Install eight floating nuts on the front and rear mounting rails, two on each mounting rail.

Step 4: Connect the ground cable to the chassis ground point and place the other end on top of the chassis. The ground point of some CE6800 models is located at the power supply side.

Step 5: Secure guide rails on the front mounting rails with M6 screws.

Step 6: Hold the bottom of the chassis with both hands, align the mounting brackets with the guide rails, and slowly slide the chassis into the cabinet.

Step 7: Secure the chassis onto the cabinet with M6 screws.

Step 8: Connect the ground cable to the ground point on the cabinet.

These models require 3U of vertical space in a cabinet/rack.

Installation Procedure:

Step 1: Mount the expandable guide rails on the mounting rails.

a. Hold a guide rail with its front side facing the front of the cabinet and move it to the planned position. Expand the guide rail and hook both sides on the mounting rails. Ensure that the three holes on the guide rails are in the same 1U space.

b. Insert plugs on the top holes on both sides of the guide rail to secure the guide rail.

c. Install an M6 screw in the lowest hole on the rear side of the guide rail.

d. (Optional) Install an M6 screw in the lowest hole on the front side of the guide rail to enhance shock resistance of the switch.

Step 2: Install two floating nuts in the 1U space above the guide rail on each front mounting rail.

Step 3: Install the front mounting brackets near the power supply side or port side depending on which side is facing the front.

Step 4: Install the switch in the cabinet.

a. Lift the switch onto the expandable guide rails by two persons.

b. Slowly push the switch into the cabinet until the front mounting brackets are closely attached to the floating nuts on the mounting rails.

c. Secure the front mounting brackets on the mounting rails with M6 screws.

Step 5: Connect the ground cable to a ground point on the cabinet. The ground points are at the power supply side of the switches.

Selection Cautions:

• The switch must use the power modules and fan modules matching the product model.

• The power modules and fan modules used in the switch must have the same airflow direction.

• Power modules with different airflow directions or power values, AC and DC power modules, or fan modules with different airflow directions cannot be used in the same chassis.

• FAN-060A series fan modules can only be installed in select models. Installing them in other switch models may damage the fan modules or switches.

Airflow Directions:

• Front-to-back airflow: Modules are identified by an “AIR IN” flag. Air flows from the power supply side to the port side.

• Back-to-front airflow: Modules are identified by an “AIR OUT” flag. Air flows from the port side to the power supply side.

Installation Notes:

• If the switch is delivered with modules installed, you do not need to install them again.

• Before installing a module, remove the filler panel in the slot.

• If only one power module is used, install a filler panel in the other power module slot.

• To ensure normal operation, the switch must have two normally running fan modules.

• Do not remove two fan modules from the chassis simultaneously. Replace a fan module within 3 minutes.

Power modules and fan modules are hot pluggable. A fan module is installed the same way as a power module fixed with captive screws. There are two types of power module installations:

Power module secured by a captive screw:

Step 1: Insert the power module into a power slot.

Step 2: Tighten the captive screw on the power module panel.

Power module secured by a lock:

Insert the power module into a power slot. When the power module is completely seated in the slot, the lock is locked automatically.

Follow these guidelines when connecting cables to your HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE6865:

• Ground cable: The switch must be reliably grounded. Attach the M4 lug to the switch and the M6 lug to the ground point.

• Ethernet cable: Category 5E or higher is recommended for GE electrical ports. Category 6A shielded or higher is recommended for 10GE electrical ports. To protect from lightning, route outdoor cables underground or in steel pipes.

• Optical fiber: Must be used with optical modules. Connectors must be clean. Cover idle optical ports with dust plugs. The bend radius of optical fibers must be larger than 40 mm.

• Country-specific AC power cable: Must be more than 10 cm away from signal cables. The AC power outlet must have a current rating of 10 A and comply with local standards. The cable must be locked using a locking strap or bundled to the power module handle.

• Mini USB port: This port provides the same functions as a console port. The Mini USB and console port cannot be used together. When both are connected, only the Mini USB port is active. It is used to transfer upgrade and configuration files during a USB-based deployment.

• Combo port: Some models have two ETH management ports, which are GE combo ports. They cannot be used simultaneously. A GE combo port consists of a GE electrical port and a GE optical port; only one can work at a time.
