• standard installer tool kit
• one number of grounding cable for the base chassis, and another number
of grounding cable for the expansion chassis if you have purchased the
expansion chassis.
• Manual Phillips screwdriver (PH3, PH1)
Action
Step Action
1 Remove the Phillips screw from the 6200.

expansion chassis as shown in the Figure 5-3 on page 5-10.
Note: There are separate local safety ground points at the rear of the 6200
base/main and expansion chassis.

to local site practices.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Electrostatic discharge can damage electrostatic sensitive
devices. Use antistatic protection to avoid damaging the shelf
and circuit packs.
CAUTION
Risk of improper ground due to poor contact with a painted rack
If the rack is painted, follow your company’s procedures to
remove the paint from the area where the bolt will be fastened.
Ensure the bolt washer makes direct contact with the rack.
