HP 5900 Installation Guide

14
NOTE:
• HP recommends that you 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 HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA,
5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+, and 5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches, you must prepare a grounding
cable yourself.
To connect the grounding cable to a chassis grounding point, for example, the primary 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 to attach the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure 20.
