Ground cable
NOTE:
For AC-powered switches, although the third conductor of the AC power cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC
recommends grounding your switch with a dedicated ground wire.
NOTE: For DC-powered switches, the only way to safely ground your switch is to attach a dedicated ground wire.
Depending on the type of switch, to attach a ground cable to the switch, you need one of the included M3 or M4 screws. The
switch ships with one of the following two configurations:
● One threaded hole using an included M3 screw.
● Two threaded holes using one of the two included M4 screws.
