Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip (for the HPE 5130 24G PoE+ 4SFP+
1-slot HI and HPE 5130 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ 1-slot HI switches)
1. Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip.
2. Cut the grounding cable to a length required for connecting to the grounding strip.
3. Attach a ring terminal to the grounding cable:
a. Use a wire stripper to strip 5 mm (0.20 in) of insulation off the end of the grounding cable.
b. Slide the heat-shrink tubing onto the cable and insert the bare metal part into the end of the
ring terminal.
c. Use a crimper to secure the metal part of the cable to the ring terminal.
d. Slide the heat-shrink tubing down the cable until the tube covers the joint.
e. Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing around the cable.
