Step 5
If you attached a grounding wire to the chassis grounding pad, connect the other end of the wire to the facility ground.
Grounding the Chassis
The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you properly install the switch in a grounded rack with
metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack.
You can also ground the chassis, which is required if the rack is not grounded, by attaching a customer-supplied
grounding cable. Attach the cable to the chassis grounding pad and the facility ground.
