Rack Grounding
When you prepare your equipment rack, ensure that the rack is earth ground. You must ground the equipment rack to the same ground
point the power service uses in your area. The ground path must be permanent.
Important Points to Remember for Installing an
Ethernet Module
•
Installing and swapping of Ethernet modules must be done BEFORE power up. If you need to install or replace a module, power down
the system before you install or replace it. If you install or replace a module when the system is powered up, the system does not
recognize the module. Online insertion of modules can result in a catastrophic failure.
•
Although the handle and port numbering may appear differently on an Ethernet module, there is no functional difference. A module
may have:
•
A larger handle that covers the entire front of the module and has the part number written on top of the handle. Port numbering is
written on the front of the handle.
•
A smaller handle that is half the size and does not cover the release button. The part number is written on the front of the handle.
Port numbering is written on the lower part of the front of the module.
NOTE:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur if components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive
wrist or heel ground strap when handling the S5000 and its components.
NOTE:
For the Ethernet module, the part name and port number are inscribed on the handle, as shown in the following
figure:
NOTE:
A blue color release latch indicates that the Ethernet module does not support hot swapping during switch
operations. Instead, you must power down the switch before removing and replacing an Ethernet module. A red color
release latch indicates that the Ethernet module supports hot swapping during switch operations.
