Grounding The Switch By Using The Ac Power Cord - H3C S5830V2 Series Installation Manual

NOTE:
• As a best practice, use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1, because the
grounding cable and grounding screw provided with the switch are applicable only to these two
grounding points.
• To use auxiliary grounding point 2 on the S5820V2-48S/S5820V2-52QF, S5820V2-52QF-U,
S5820V2-52Q, or S5820V2-54QS-GE switch, prepare a grounding cable yourself. The
connection method is the same as connecting to the other two grounding points.

Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord

If the installation site does not have any grounding strips, you can ground an AC-powered switch
through the protective earth (PE) wire of the power cord, but must make sure:
•
The power cord has a PE terminal.
•
The ground contact in the power outlet is securely connected to the ground in the power
distribution room or on the AC transformer side.
•
The power cord is securely connected to the power outlet.
NOTE:
If the ground contact in the power outlet is not connected to the ground, report the problem and
reconstruct the grounding system.

To guarantee the grounding effect, use the grounding cable provided with the switch to connect to
the grounding strip in the equipment room as long as possible.
