To meet safety and electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operaon, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it
to power. For installaons that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis,
use the protecve earthing terminal on the switch chassis to connect to the earth
ground. For instrucons on connecng earth ground, see
Connect Earth Ground to an
EX Series Switch
.
• Install the power supply in the chassis. For instrucons on installing a DC power supply in an EX4300
switch, see "Installing a DC Power Supply in an EX4300 Switch" on page 301.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• DC power source cables (14–16 AWG) with ring lug (Molex 190700067 or equivalent) (not provided)
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided)
• Mulmeter (not provided)
• A 14-10 AWG STR (2.5-6 mm²), minimum 90°C wire grounding cable, or one permied by the local
code, with a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or equivalent grounding lug aached (not provided)
• Two 10-32 x .25 in. screws with #10 split-lock washer (not provided)
• Two #10 at washers (not provided)
EX4300 switches can be congured with up to two DC power supplies. Aer you install at least one
power supply, you can connect power to the switch.
CAUTION: Do not mix:
• AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis
• Power supplies with dierent airow labels (AIR IN (AFI) and AIR OUT (AFO)) in the
same chassis.
• Fan modules with dierent airow labels (AIR IN (AFI) and AIR OUT (AFO)) in the
same chassis.
• Power supplies and fan modules with dierent airow labels (AIR IN (AFI) and AIR
OUT (AFO)) in the same chassis.
To connect DC power to an EX4300 switch:
1. Aach the grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
