GROUNDING THE SWITCH
Before powering on the switch, ground the switch to earth as described below.
1. Ensure that the rack in which the switch is to be mounted is properly
grounded.
2. Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on
the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
3. Disconnect all power cables to the switch.
4. The switch chassis is connected internally to 0 V. This circuit is connected to
the grounding terminal on the back of the switch (right corner). Attach
#6 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the switch.
5. Then attach the grounding wire to the ground point on the rack.
