optical cable and power cable. The following takes SG-6000-X7180 as an example to
introduce how to connect cables.

The following tools are required:
Cross screwdriver
ESD wrist strap
Grounding the Chassis
To avoid electrostatic discharge, you must correctly connect the chassis to the earth
ground by a grounding wire. The grounding screws are in the back panel of the
chassis, as shown below. Note that Hillstone does not provide grounding wire.
Figure 3-18: Grounding Screws
To ground the chassis, take the following steps:
1.
Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap around your bare wrist and connect
the strap to an ESD point on the chassis. See
2.
Ensure all cable ends are clean and bright.
3.
Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
4.
Detach the grounding end of ESD strap from earth.
5.
Face the back panel of the chassis and connect the end of the strap to the
chassis’ ESD point.
6.
Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding screw on the
chassis and tighten it with a cross screwdriver.
