Step 5
Prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to
ensure adequate earth ground for the switch.
Attaching an ESD Strap
After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist strap that is provided with the standard accessory kit and all FRUs:
Before you begin
• Do not use the wrist strap if it is wet.
• Do not use the wrist strap on equipment with operating voltage exceeding 250V.
• Ensure that you are not grounded by any other means than through the wrist strap while servicing.
Procedure

Open the wrist strap package, unwrap and locate the two ends of the ESD strap.
One end of the strap terminates with the black metal strap exposed; this is wrist end; the other end terminates
with a patch of copper foil; this is the equipment end.
