Scenario 2: Installing a Remote Unit on a Workbench
Context
This installation method applies to the S5731-L (except the S5731-L4P2HW-RUA) and S5731S-L (except the S5731S-L4P2HW-RUA).
- Do not stack the horizontally placed remote units.
- Do not install the remote unit outdoors. Remote units can only be installed indoors.
- It is recommended that power adapters and optical fibers not be vertically installed above remote units.
- Use standard power adapters provided by Huawei to supply power to remote units. Otherwise, the remote units may not work properly or security risks may be introduced.

Tools and Accessories
- ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
- Rubber pads (four for each non-PoE model, not required for PoE models)
- Security lock (optional, purchased separately)
No rubber pads are delivered with a remote unit that cannot be installed on a workbench or a remote unit of the PoE model.
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves. When wearing an ESD wrist strap, ensure that it is in close contact with your wrist and grounded properly.
- (Optional) For a non-PoE remote unit, attach rubber pads to the remote unit. Carefully turn the remote unit upside down and attach four rubber pads to the round imprinted areas at the bottom of the remote unit.
- Place the remote unit gently on the workbench.Figure 2-14 Installation on a workbench (1)Figure 2-15 Installation on a workbench (2)
- (Optional) Install a security lock to lock the remote unit to the workbench to protect the remote unit against theft.
To determine whether a security lock can be installed, check for the security slot marked with a padlock icon on the remote unit. If there is no security slot on the remote unit, it means that the security lock is not supported.
