cable (A5800AF-48G/A5820AF-24XG)
The A5800AF-48G and A5820AF-24XG switches have one front mounting position (near the network
ports) and one rear mounting position (near the power supplies). The switches also have one primary
grounding point (with a grounding sign) and two auxiliary grounding points. In most cases, you use the
primary grounding point. If the primary grounding point fails or is not suitable for the installation site, use
one of the auxiliary grounding points.
