Grounding screw on the firewall
Connect this screw to the earth ground using a grounding wire. The grounding
resistance must be smaller than 5 ohm. If the device is mounted in a standard 19-inch
rack, the rack must be grounded.
Caution:
Lightning strikes can damage your device and the connected device as well. For
secure lightning protection, make sure that the firewall has a good ground connection
when it is operating.
3.5 Connecting to the Console Terminal
I. Console port
On the H3C SecPath Series Firewall, one RS-232 asynchronous serial console port is
available for you to configure the device. For the attributes of the console port, refer to
section 1.2.4 “Attributes of the Fixed Interfaces”.
II. Console cable
Console cable is an 8-wire shielded cable. At one end of the cable is an RJ-45
connector to the console port on the firewall; at the other end is a DB9 (female)
connector to the serial interface of the console terminal.
Figure 3-4 illustrates a console cable.
