Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding
wire. We recommend 6-AWG wire for the U.S. installations.
Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug. Use a crimping tool to crimp the
lug to the wire, see the following figure. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the grounding lug by attempting
to pull the wire out of the crimped lug.

Step 3 Secure the grounding lug to the chassis grounding pad with two M4 screws, see the previous figure. Tighten the screws
to 11 to 15 in-lb (1.24 to 1.69 N·m) of torque.
Step 4 Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to the facility ground.
Starting the Switch
You start the switch by connecting it to its dedicated power source. If you need n+1 redundancy, you must
connect each of the power supplies to one or two power sources. If you need n+n redundancy, you must
connect each power supply in a switch to a different power source.
Before you begin
• The switch must be installed and secured to a rack or cabinet.
• The switch must be adequately grounded.
• The rack must be close enough to the dedicated power source so that you can connect the switch to the
power source by using a designated power cables.
