2 Installing the Device
Overview
For details about the precautions and requirements for device installation, see
"Preparing for Installation" in the Hardware Installation and Component
Replacement.
S series fixed form-factor devices are available in different dimensions (H x W x
D). The installation scenarios and methods vary depending on the dimensions.
This document describes the main device installation scenarios: cabinet mounting,
desktop mounting, and wall mounting. For details about installation of remote
units (RUs) or in other scenarios, refer to the Hardware Installation and
Component Replacement.
Cabinet Mounting
Devices of different dimensions can be installed in a cabinet using mounting
brackets, horizontal rack-mounting kits, or trays. This document describes how to
install a device using mounting brackets, which vary according to the dimensions
of the device. Use the mounting brackets delivered with the device.
1. Use M4 screws to attach mounting brackets to the device.
2. Install floating nuts on the mounting rails of the cabinet.
3. Install the device in the cabinet.

Wall Mounting
Depending on device dimensions, the device can be installed on a wall using
mounting brackets or without using mounting brackets.
Using mounting brackets:
1. Use M4 screws to attach front mounting brackets to the device.
2. Use a hammer drill with a φ8 drill bit to drill holes on the wall, and mount
the device on the wall with expansion bolts.
Figure 2-3 Wall mounting a device (using mounting brackets)
Without mounting brackets:
1. Mark holes on the wall based on the distance between the two mounting
holes on the rear panel of the device, and install mounting screws.
2. Align the mounting holes on the rear of the device with mounting screws and
hang the device on the mounting screws.

Quick Start Guide 5 Logging In to a Device for the First Time
5 Logging In to a Device for the First Time
You can log in to a device for the first time through the console port or web
system. The login method to use depends on the device model and software
version. This document briefly describes the key steps and information for logging
in to a device for the first time through the web system.
NOTE
First login to a device is not involved on plug-and-play unmanaged models and RUs.
Logging In to the Device for the First Time Through the Web System
Only a device with factory defaults can be logged in through the web system for
the first time. To log in to a device through the web system, connect a PC to the
device according to the table below, configure the IP address of the PC to be in the
same network segment as the default IP address of the device, and access the
default IP address of the device in a browser by entering https://ip-address.
The table below uses V200R022C00 and V600R023C00 as an example. You can
also obtain the default IP address and method for logging in to the web system
for the first time from the nameplate at the bottom of the device.
