Use the PGND cable provided with the switch to connect the grounding strip in the equipment room.
Otherwise, the switch may not be effectively grounded, which easily causes damage to the switch.
z
If no grounding strip is available, refer to
H3C S5810 Series Ethernet Switches Installation Manual
for detailed grounding methods.
Installing a Power Module
The S5810 series provides two power module slots on its rear panel. Hot swappable power module slot
1 is empty when the switch is shipped, and hot swappable power module 2 is installed with a filler panel.
You can select one or two power modules for your switch as needed. For details about optional power
modules, refer to Pluggable Power Modules on page 1-13.
The installation and removal procedure includes the installation and removal of power modules and
power cords. To prevent damage to the device and personal injury, follow the installation and removal
procedures illustrated in Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10, respectively.
