Note:
The procedure of installing the interface card to different
models of H3C switches is similar. This manual takes the
S5500-28C-EI switch as an example.
Follow these steps to install the interface card to the switch:
(1) Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the
ESD-preventive wrist strap makes good skin contact and is
properly grounded.
(2) Loosen the mounting screws of the filler panel on the interface
card slot of the switch with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the
filler panel, as shown in
