Personal Safety Ensure that only personnel authorized by Huawei install hardware. In case of any problems that may cause injury to personnel or damage to devices, immediately stop operations and report the problems to a project supervisor and take corrective measures.
Page 14 High-voltage power supply provides power for device operation. Do not touch high- voltage cables directly or through conductive materials. This may cause danger of electrocution. Issue 32 (2019-03-28) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Page 15 Use only genuine components that can be queried in the Huawei Server Compatibility Checker. Only maintenance engineers authorized by Huawei are allowed to expand capacity. Avoid physical damage caused by electrostatic discharge, collision, and scratches. Before expanding capacity, back up data and isolate the equipment from the network to prevent data loss, service interruption, and network loops.

"Safety" in the Server Product Documentation. Installation Guidelines The RH2288 V3 is 2U high and can be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet. The server can be installed on L-shaped, adjustable, and holding rails, and is stackable. If the cabinet has sufficient space, a distance of 1U or more can be reserved between servers.
Page 76: Installation Environment
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements: Install the RH2288 V3 in an access-restricted area. Keep the area in which the server is located clean and tidy. For easy heat dissipation and maintenance, keep a clearance of 800 mm (31.50 in.) between walls and the front and rear doors of the cabinet.
