Installation workflow
Figure 1 Installation flow of the switch
Install the switch on a rack
This section provides steps to install the switch on a 19-inch rack using mounting brackets and a
tray. The S5500-EI and S5500-SI Installation Guide provides comprehensive steps for mounting
brackets, guide rails, as well as instructions for front and rear mounting brackets and installing
the switch on a workbench.
All models of the S5500-EI and S5500-SI series support installation using front mounting brackets
together with a tray.
Follow these steps to install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet:
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure a good skin contact and grounding.
6
2.
Check the grounding and stability of the cabinet.
3. Fix the delivered tray horizontally in a proper position.
4. Take out the screws which are packed together with the front mounting brackets, and fix one
end of mounting brackets to the switch.
5. Place the switch on the tray horizontally, slide the tray into the cabinet, and fix the other end
of mounting brackets to the front brackets with crews and captive nuts.
Connect the ground wire
This section documents when a grounding strip is available. For information for when there is no
grounding strip or for other installation sites, see the S5500-EI and S5500-SI Installation Guide.
Correctly connecting the switch ground wire is crucial to the lightning protection and EMS of a
switch. When a grounding strip is available at the installation site, attach one end of the yellow-
green ground wire of the switch to the grounding screw on the grounding strip (the grounding
screw and the grounding hole are on the rear panel of the switch and are marked with a
grounding sign). To do this, follow these steps:
1. Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.
2. Put the supplied OT terminal of the PGND cable on the grounding screw.
3. Fasten the grounding screw, which is attached with the OT terminal of the PGND cable, into
the grounding screw hole with a screwdriver.
Install the power module
The following section describes how to install a power module for only the S5500-28F-EI and
S5500-20TP-SI Ethernet switches.
The installation/removal procedure of the PSR150-A and PSR150-D is similar. This manual takes
the PSR150-A as an example to introduce the installation and removal of the power module.
Follow these steps:
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensure a good skin contact and make sure that the ESD-
preventive wrist strap is properly grounded.
2. Take the power module from the package and check that the power module model is as
required.
3. Face the slot into which the power module is to be inserted.
4. Insert the power module with the upside up. (if you insert it with the upside down, the
insertion is not smooth because of the specific structure design of the power module and
slot). Grasp the handle of the module with one hand and hold the module bottom with the
other, and then slide the module slowly along the guide rails into the slot.
5. Fasten the captive screw on the power module clockwise with a Philips screwdriver until the
power module is fixed into the chassis.
Connect the power cord
After you insert the power module into the device, you can connect the power cord. This manual
includes steps to connect the AC power cord. See the S5500-EI and S5500-SI Installation Guide

for power cord connection methods and steps to connect the -48V DC and RPS power cords. To
connect an AC power cord, follow these steps:
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensure a good skin contact and make sure that the ESD-
preventive wrist strap is properly grounded.
2. Install the bail latch to prevent the AC power cord from accidentally falling off. Fix the bail
latch into the holes located at the two sides of the AC power receptacle. Then pull the bail
latch upwards.
3. Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC receptacle on the switch.
4. Pull the bail latch down to secure the plug to the AC receptacle.
5. Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the external AC power supply system.
6. Check whether the system status LED (PWR/SYS) on the front panel of the switch is ON. If
the LED is ON, it shows the power cord is properly connected.
Install an interface module
Each S5500-EI and S5500-SI switch (except S5500-20TP-SI) provide two interface module slots
on the rear panel.
The installation and removal of various interface modules are similar. This section describes the
installation and removal of the Dual-Port 10 GE SFP+ Interface Module (LSPM2SP2P) for
illustration. For information on installing a dedicated CX4/SFP+ cable, see the S5500-EI and
S5500-SI Installation Guide.
1. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensure a good skin contact and make sure that the ESD-
preventive wrist strap is properly grounded.
2. Loosen the mounting screws of the filler panel on the interface card slot of the switch's front
panel with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the filler panel.
3. Unwrap the interface card. Gently push the interface card in along the slot guide rails until
the interface card is in close contact with the switch. Then push the ejector levers at both
sides inward.
4. Tighten the captive screws with a Phillips screwdriver to fix the interface card.
