Step 3 – Grounding the Switch
This section describes how to connect the
Switch to ground. You must complete this
procedure before powering on your Switch.
Required Tools and Equipment
• Grounding screws (included in the
accessory kit): One M4 x 6 mm (metric)
pan-head screw
• Grounding cable (not included in the
accessory kit): The grounding cable should
be sized according to local and national
installation requirements. Depending on
the power supply and system, a 12 to 6
AWG copper conductor is required for
installation. Commercially available 6
AWG wire is recommended. The length of
the cable depends on the proximity of the
Switch to proper grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included in the accessory
kit)
You can connect the Switch to a protective
ground by following the steps below:
1. Verify if the system power is off.
2. Use the grounding cable to place the #8
terminal lug ring on top of the grounding
screw opening.
3. Insert the grounding screw into the
grounding screw opening.
4. Using a screwdriver, tighten the grounding
screw to secure the grounding cable to the
Switch.
5. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end
of the grounding cable to an appropriate
grounding stud or bolt on rack where the
Switch is installed.
6. Verify if the connections at the ground
connector on the Switch and the rack are
securely attached.
