Figure 3-12: 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 Phillips screwdriver.
7.
Arrange the grounding cable so that it does not block the hardware components
and it does not drape where people might trip over.
Connecting the Console Cable
The device provides an RS-232C asynchronous serial console (CON) port, through
which you can configure the appliance. The console cable is an 8-core shielded cable,
which has an RJ-45 connector that can be connected to the Console port of the
appliance and a DB-9 (female) connector that can be connected to the serial port of a
console terminal.
To connect the Console cable, take the following steps:
1.
Select a console terminal. You may choose an ordinary PC or a standard ASCII
terminal with an RS-232C serial port.
2.
Connect the console cable. Connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to the Console
port of the appliance, and then connect the DB-9 connector of the cable to the
console terminal.
