Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord
If the installation site has no grounding strips or earth ground, you can ground an AC-powered switch
through the PE wire of the power cord. Make sure:
•
The power cord has a PE terminal.
•
The ground contact in the power outlet is securely connected to the ground in the power
distribution room or on the AC transformer side.
•
The power cord is securely connected to the power outlet.
NOTE:
•
If the ground contact in the power outlet is not connected to the ground, report the problem and
reconstruct the grounding system.
•
As a best practice to guarantee the grounding effect, use the grounding cable provided with the
switch to connect to the grounding strip in the equipment room.
Installing/removing a power supply
WARNING!
In power redundancy mode, you can replace a power supply without powering off the switch but you
must strictly follow the installation and procedures in
and
to avoid any bodily
injury or damage to the switch.
CAUTION:
Provide a circuit breaker for each power supply.
