Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point are located on the left panel of the
chassis. If you use one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the
grounding point before you mount the switch in the rack.
As a best practice, use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1 because the
grounding cable and grounding screw that come with the switch are suitable only for these two
grounding points.
To use auxiliary grounding point 2 on the HPE 5950 4-slot switch, prepare a grounding cable
yourself.
This section uses the primary grounding point on the HPE 5950 32QSFP28 switch as an example.
To connect the grounding cable to a grounding point:
1.
Choose a grounding point as required.
This example uses the primary grounding point.
2.
Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
3.
Use two grounding screws to attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the
grounding holes at the grounding point. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws. See

Attaching the slide rails to the rack
The procedure is the same for attaching 1U and 2U slide rails to the rack. This section uses the 1U
slide rails as an example.
To attach the slide rails to the rack:
1.
Identify the slide rail installation position in the rack.
2.
Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3.
Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear rack post, and use screws
(user-supplied) to attach the slide rail to the post, as shown in
4.
Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the other rear rack post.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can attach into the chassis rails.
