The following are the site environment requirements for the HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE8860:

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 the specific requirements, see the Hardware Description for your switch.

The cabinet requirements for installation are as follows:

The widths of CE8800, CE7800, CE6800, and CE5800 series switches comply with industry standards. Therefore, these switches can be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet/rack complying with IEC297.

The CE5800, CE6800 (420 mm deep) and CE8850-32CQ-EI switches can be installed in a 600 mm or deeper cabinet, whereas the CE6800 (600 mm deep), CE7800, CE8850-64CQ-EI, CE8860, CE8861 and CE8868 can be installed in an 800 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 CE8800&7800&6800&5800 series 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.

The HUAWEI CLOUDENGINE CE8860 switch requires 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 of the CE8860, CE8861, CE8868 and CE8850-64CQ-EI are at the power supply side of the switches.

CAUTION

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 CE6850HI, CE6850U-HI, CE6855-48T6Q-HI, CE6856-48T6Q-HI and CE6875EI. Installing them in other switch models may damage the fan modules or switches.

Airflow Directions:

Front-to-back airflow: Power modules and fan modules with front-to-back airflow are identified by an AIR IN flag. Air flows from the power supply side to the port side.

Back-to-front airflow: Power modules and fan modules with back-to-front airflow are identified by an AIR OUT flag. Air flows from the port side to the power supply side.

Before You Start

If the switch is delivered with the power modules and fan modules installed in the chassis, you do not need to install the power modules and fan modules again.

Before installing a power module or fan 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 operating, the switch must have two normally running fan modules.

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

Power modules fixed using a captive screw and a lock are installed differently. Power modules and fan modules are hot pluggable. A fan module is installed the same way as a power module fixed with captive screws.

Installation Procedure

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.

Before You Start

Only the CE8860, CE8861 and CE8868 switches have extended slots for card installation.

Install a filler panel in a vacant slot.

Slowly push a card into the slot. If you feel resistance or find the card inclined, pull the card out and push it into the slot again. Forcing the card into the slot may damage connectors on the card and backplane.

All cards are hot swappable.

Installation Procedure

Step 1: Press the two green locking clips in the middle of the filler panel to eject the ejector levers.

Step 2: Turn the ejector levers outward and slowly pull the filler panel out.

Step 3: Press the two green locking clips in the middle of the card to eject the ejector levers.

Step 4: Slowly push the card into the slot, and then turn the ejector levers inward to lock the card in the slot. When the card is completely seated in the slot, the ejector levers will buckle with the locking clips.

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 category Ethernet cables are recommended for GE electrical ports.

Category 6A shielded or higher category Ethernet cables are recommended for 10GE electrical ports.

To protect the switch from lightning, route outdoor cables underground or in steel pipes. Do not route cables aerially.

Optical fiber:

Optical fibers must be used with optical modules. Connectors of fibers and cables 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:

Power cables must be more than 10 cm away from signal cables.

The country-specific AC power outlet must have a current rating of 10 A and comply with local standards.

The AC power cable must be locked using a locking strap or bundled to the power module handle using a velcro strap.

Mini USB port:

The CE8860 has a Mini USB port, which provides the same functions as a console port and uses a Mini USB cable.

The Mini USB port and console port cannot be used together. When both ports are connected, only the Mini USB port is active.

Combo port:

The CE8860 has two ETH management ports (GE RJ45). The two ETH management ports cannot be used simultaneously. Choose one of them and use the other as a backup.
