Connecting the ground lug to the ground terminal
After the unit is installed in the rack and before you provide power to the system, you need to connect the
grounding hardware.
1. Attach a two-hole grounding terminal lug to 12 AWG copper ground wire.
2. Install the M6 Keps nuts on the ground terminal lugs.
Use 30 to 40 inch-pounds (3.4 to 4.5 Newton-meters) of torque on these Keps nuts.
3. Connect the ground wire to a common bonding network (CBN).
About installing blades
The VIPRION
®
C4800 Series chassis supports up to eight B4300 or B4400 Series blades. For maximum
performance, F5
®
recommends that you do not mix blade types.
When you initially receive the chassis, the slots that can contain these blades are filled with blanks. A blank
must be installed in each empty slot to ensure proper thermal management and regulatory compliance. To
add a new blade, you first remove the blank from the corresponding slot and then insert the blade. Be sure
to keep the blanks in case you need to change the blade configuration later. You should not operate the
chassis for an extended period of time without all slots populated.
Important: This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). F5
®
recommends that you use proper
ESD grounding procedures and equipment when you install or maintain the unit.
Note: Ensure that you supply power to the chassis prior to installing any blades.
