Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
CAUTION:
Select grounding points as required. The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are
located on the left side panel. 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, prepare a grounding cable yourself.
This section uses the primary grounding point on the HPE 5940 switch as an example.
To connect the grounding cable to a grounding point:
1.
Choose a grounding point.
2.
Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
You can use the cable and screws shipped with the switch only for connecting to the primary
grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1.
3.
Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the
grounding point, insert the grounding screws into the holes, and tighten the screws with a
screwdriver, as shown in
.

Attaching the slide rails to the rack
The procedures are 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 rack attachment position for the slide rails.
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 the rack post on one side, and use
screws (user-supplied) to attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in
4.
Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can attach into the chassis rails.
