Step 5
Place the grounding lug against the grounding pad making sure there is good metal-to-metal contact
between the lug and the bare metal of the chassis and that the grounding lug and the attached wire will
not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.
Step 6
Secure the system ground lug to the chassis with the two M4 screws.
Step 7
Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to an appropriate grounding point at your site
to ensure adequate earth ground for the switch. Consult with your local electrician to determine the
appropriate place to attach the gound wire.
