1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded.
2. Unpack the RPS cable shipped with the RPS, identify the plug for connecting to the switch, correctly
orient the plug with the RPS receptacle on the switch chassis, and insert the plug into the receptacle
(see callout 1 in Figure 21).
The RPS recep
tacle is foolproof. If you cannot insert the plug into the receptacle, re-orient the plug
rather than use excessive force to push it in.
3. Tighten the screws on the plug with a flat-blade screwdriver to secure the plug in the RPS receptacle
(see callout 2 in Figure 21).
4. Connect the other end of th
e power cord to the RPS.

Installing/removing an interface card
This section applies to all 5500 EI and 5500 SI switches. For the interface cards available for the switches,
see "Interface cards."
This section uses the LSPM2SP2P interface card as an example to describe the procedures of installing
and removing an interface card.
IMPORTANT:
To set up an HP 5500 EI or 5500 SI IRF fabric, you must install interface cards. To choose a correct slot for
an interface card, see "Planning the cabling scheme."
