Opacity Shield Kit (JG559A) FIPS Enclosure Installation Guide
Introduction to the opacity shield kit
Installation tools
The installation procedures must be performed by qualified personnel.
Before installation, read the Compliance and Safety Manual for the compatible switch of
the opacity shield kit.
Make sure the operating temperature is not higher than 40°C (104°F).
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin
contact and is well grounded.
HP recommends that you install the front mounting brackets before installing the opacity shields.
Before you mount the switch to the rack, install a rack shelf on the rack. Then put the switch
on the rack shelf, and secure the front mounting brackets to the rack posts with screws.
The installation tools are not provided with the switch. Prepare them yourself.

Installing the opacity shields
The methods for installing the opacity shields to the applicable products are the same.
This section uses an HP 5120-24G-PoE+ EI Switch with 2 Interface Slots as an example.
The procedures for installing the front mounting brackets at the port side and the
power supply side are the same. In the following example, the front mounting
brackets are installed at the port side.
Only use the screws and hex bolts that are supplied in the opacity shield kit to secure the
opacity shield.
Remove the screws, if any, on the chassis where the opacity shields are to be installed
before installing the opacity shields.
Applying tamper evidence labels
Make sure the chassis temperature is above 10°C (50°F).
Before applying tamper evidence labels, use alcohol-based cleaning pads to clean the
chassis and air dry the cohesive areas.
Apply tamper evidence labels to all field replacement units
(for example, opacity shields and interface cards), and any screw on an opacity shield.
If the switch is to be installed on a rack, HP recommends that you apply tamper
evidence labels before installing the switch to the rack.
The methods for applying tamper evidence labels are the same when the front mounting
brackets are installed at the port side and the power supply side. In the following
example, the front mounting brackets are installed at the port side.
