Installation preparations
Installation site
The switch must be used indoors. Before installation, verify that the rack is
sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
To ensure correct operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an
environment that meets the temperature, humidity, and electromagnetic shield
(EMS) requirements. For more information, see H3C S5820X Switch Series
Installation Guide.
Installation tools
The installation tools are not provided with the switch. Prepare them yourself.

NOTE:
The S5820X-28C switch supports hot-swapping of interface cards and
OAP cards. You can install or remove an interface card or an OAP card
w
hen the switch is operating. For more information, see "Installing an
interface card" and "Installing an OAP card."

Installing the switch in a rack
Attaching an ESD wrist strap
Before installation, wear an ESD strap, and make sure one end of the wrist
strap has a good skin contact and the other end is attached to a post of the
correctly-grounded rack, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Attaching an ESD wrist strap
Installation accessories
The S5820X-28S/S5820X-26S switch comes with a pair of 1 U load-bearing
mounting brackets. The S5820X-28C switch comes with a pair of 2 U
load-bearing mounting brackets, and each mounting bracket is attached with
a cable management bracket.

Mounting positions
The S5820X-28S and S5820X-28C switches provide three mounting positions:
one front mounting position (near the network ports), one mid-mounting
position, and one rear mounting position (near the power modules). Figure 6
shows the mounting bracket installation positions on an S5820X-28S switch.

Mounting the switch on a workbench
CAUTION:
•Ensure 10 cm (3.94 in) of clearance around the switch.
•Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
If a standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can place you switch on a
workbench. The S5820X-26S switch cannot be mounted on a workbench.
To mount the switch on a workbench:
1. Make sure the workbench is clean and correctly grounded.
2. Place the switch with bottom up carefully, and clean the round holes on
the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
3. Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4. Place the switch with upside up on the workbench.

Connecting the grounding cable
CAUTION:
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning
protection and EMS of a switch.
Connecting the grounding cable for an
S5820X-26S switch
The S5820X-26S switch has three grounding points, as shown in Figure 19.
H3C recommends that you use the primary grounding point.

1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the grounding point on the
switch. See Figure 12.
2. Attach the other end (ring terminal) of the grounding cable to a
grounding post on the grounding strip, and secure the grounding cable
to the grounding post by using a hex nut.

Connecting the grounding cable for an
S5820X-28C or S5820X-28S switch
The S5820X-28C and S5820X-28S switches have a grounding point at their
rear panels. This guide uses the S5820X-28S switch as an example:
To connect the grounding cable:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the grounding point of the
switch.
