Parts and Required Tools
Note
Some parts and required tools described in this section are not available from
Cisco Systems. The grounding lug and associated screws are included with the
accessory kit.
To make an adequate grounding connection, you will need the following parts and
tools:
•
Grounding lug—The grounding lug has two #10 AWG holes spaced 0.63 in
center to center. A Panduit LCDX6-10A-L or Pencom EL1033 lug may be
used if the lug from the accessory kit has been misplaced.
•
Two M4 (metric) hex-head screws.
•
One grounding wire (6 AWG recommended)—The length of the grounding
wires depends on the location of your switch within the site and its proximity
to proper grounding facilities.
•
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
•
Crimping tool—This tool must be large enough to accommodate the girth of
the grounding lug when you crimp the grounding cable into the lug.
•
Wire-stripping tool.
