What to Do Next
After you have secured the chassis to the rack, you can connect the chassis to the data center ground.
Grounding the Chassis
The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you properly install the switch in a grounded rack with
metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack.
You can alternatively ground the chassis (this is required if the rack is not grounded) by attaching a
customer-supplied grounding cable to the chassis grounding pad and the facility ground.
Statement 1024—Ground Conductor
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Warning
Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
Warning
Before You Begin
Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building.
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.
Step 2
Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug, and use a crimping tool to crimp
the lug to the wire (see Callout 2 in 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.
