Safety recommendations
To avoid any equipment damage or bodily injury, read the following safety recommendations before
installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition.
• Before cleaning the switch, unplug all power cords from the switch. Do not clean the switch with wet
cloth or liquid.
• Do not place the switch near water or in a damp environment. Prevent water or moisture from
entering the switch chassis.
• Do not place the switch on an unstable case or desk. The switch might be severely damaged in case
of a fall.
• Ensure good ventilation of the equipment room and keep the air inlet and outlet vents of the switch
free of obstruction.
• Make sure the operating voltage is in the required range.
3
• To avoid electrical shocks, do not open the chassis while the switch is operating or when the switch
is just powered off.
• When replacing FRUs, including power supplies and fan trays, wear an ESD wrist strap to avoid
damaging the units.
Examining the installation site
The HP 5920 and 5900 switches must be used indoors.
Mount your switch in a rack and make sure:
• Adequate clearance is reserved at the air inlet and exhaust vents for ventilation.
• The rack has a good ventilation system.
• Identify the hot aisle and cold aisle at the installation site, and make sure ambient air flows into the
switch from the cold aisle and exhausts to the hot aisle.
• Identify the airflow designs of neighboring devices, and prevent hot air flowing out of the bottom
device from entering the top device.
• The rack is sturdy enough to support the switch and its accessories.
• The rack is correctly grounded.
To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, install it in an environment that meets the
requirements described in the following subsections.
Temperature/humidity
Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
• Lasting high relative humidity can cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property
change of materials, and metal corrosion.
• Lasting low relative humidity can cause washer contraction and ESD and bring problems including
loose captive screws and circuit failure.
• High temperature can accelerate the aging of insulation materials and significantly lower the
reliability and lifespan of the switch.
For the temperature and humidity requirements of different switch models, see "Appendix A Chassis
v
iews and technical specifications."
Cleanness
Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal
components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case,
electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
Table 2 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room
Substance Concentration limit (particles/m³)
Dust
≤ 3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days)
NOTE:
Dust diameter ≥ 5 μm

The equipment room must also meet limits on salts, acids, and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and
premature aging of components, as shown in Table 3.

EMI
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) might be coupled from the source to the switch through the following
coupling mechanisms:
• Capacitive coupling
• Inductive coupling
• Radiative coupling
• Common impedance coupling
• Conductive coupling
To prevent EMI, take the following actions:
• If AC power is used, use a single-phase three-wire power receptacle with protection earth (PE) to
filter interference from the power grid.
• Keep the switch far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and high-frequency
devices to make sure the EMI levels do not exceed the compliant range.
• Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
• To prevent signal ports from getting damaged by over-voltage or over-current caused by lightning
strikes, only route interface cables indoors.
Laser safety
W
ARNING!
Do not stare into any fiber port when the switch has power. The laser li
g
ht emitted from the optical fiber
might hurt your eyes.
The HP 5920 and 5900 switches are Class 1 laser devices.
Installation tools
• Phillips screwdriver
• ESD wrist strap
All these installation tools are user supplied.
5
Installing the switch
CAUTION:
Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mountin
g
screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open the
chassis, contact HP for permission. Otherwise, HP shall not be liable for any consequence caused thereby.

Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis
1. Align the mounting brackets with the screw holes in the rear mounting position or front mounting
position. See Figure 8 and Figure 9.
2. Use M4
screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the mounting brackets to the chassis.
3. Align the chassis rails with the rail mounting holes in the chassis:
{ If the mounting brackets are in the rear mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw
holes at the front of the side panels. See Figure 8.
{ If the mounting brackets are in the front mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw
holes at the rear of the side panels. See Figure 9.
4. Use M4
screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the chassis rails to the chassis.
NOTE:
Secure the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way.
Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis
CAUTION:
The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are located on the left side panel. If you use
one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you
mount the switch in the rack.
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,
5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, 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 8.

1. Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use
screws (user supplied) to attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in Figure 10.
4. Repeat the pr
eceding step to attach the other slide rail to the rack post on the other side.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can attach into the chassis rails.
Figure 10 Installing the slide rails
Mounting the switch in the rack
This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well grounded.
2. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch
chassis.
3. Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts.
4. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same level as
the slide rails.
5. Supporting the bottom of the switch, align the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack posts, as
shown in Figure 11. Work with another person to slid
e the chassis rails along the slide rails until
the mounting brackets are flush with the rack posts.
6. Use screws (user-supplied) to attach the mounting brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 12.
To
secure the switch in the rack, make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the chassis
rails.

Grounding the switch
W
ARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
13
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the
chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis
ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to
minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
You can ground a switch by using a grounding strip at the installation site or the AC power cord
connected to the switch.
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.

ARNING!
Connect the
g
rounding cable to the grounding system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire
main or lightning rod.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding
strip.
To connect the grounding cable:
1. Attach the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the grounding cable to a grounding point on the
switch chassis. See "Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis."
2. Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip.
3. Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip through the
grounding post, and fasten the ring terminal with the removed hex nut.

NOTE:
• HP recommends that you 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 HP 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ TAA,
5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+, 5900CP-48XG-4QSFP+8Gb FC B-F, 5900AF-48XGT-4QSFP+, and
5900AF-48G-4XG-2QSFP+ switches, you must 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 has no 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
g
round, report the problem and reconstruc
t
the grounding system.

NOTE:
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.
Installing/removing a fan tray
CAUTION:
Every HP 5920 and 5900 switch requires two same direction air flow fan trays to function correctly.
• Do not operate the system with one failed fan tray for more than 24 hours.
• Do not remove the failed fan tray until you are ready for replacing it.
• Do not operate the system without any fan tray for more than 2 minutes.
• Do not operate the system outside of the temperature range 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) degrees.
