2.8. Grounding the Switch
It is recommended that a compliant system is installed as part of the chassis to reduce or prevent
the risk of shock hazards, greatly reduce the risk of equipment damage or reduce the potential of
data corruption.
This equipment must be grounded. Do not defeat the ground conductor or operate the
equipment without a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate elec-
trical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding
is available.
1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and in compliance with local regulatory guidelines. Ensure
that a good electrical connection to the grounding point exists. Remove any paint or material
that may prevent good contact.
2. Remove the grounding screw from the switch.
3. Connect the screw to an 18 AWG minimum grounding wire (not provided), and connect it to the
grounding screw on the switch.
4. Connect the other end of the wire to rack ground.
