Grounding the Ruckus ICX 7850 Switch
Perform the following steps to connect to the grounding terminal.
1.
Ensure that the rack in which the Ruckus ICX 7850 switch is mounted is properly grounded and in compliance with local
regulations.
2.
Ensure that there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
3.
Crimp the included grounding lug to a grounding wire of at least 10 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 10 AWG wire and
grounding lug should be crimped together using a proper tool.
4.
Attach the 10 AWG stranded copper wire to the grounding terminal on the Ruckus ICX 7850 switch using the screws, flat
washers, and lock washers included in the grounding kit.
5.
Attach the grounding wire to a grounding point.
NOTE
The terminal for the connection of a grounding conductor is not to be used with an aluminum conductor.
NOTE
To ensure adequate bonding when attaching the ground lug, a minimum of 20 in-lb (2.76 Nm) of torque is required to be applied
to the mounting hardware used to attach the ground lug.
CAUTION
For the installation of a Ruckus device with AC or DC systems, use a ground wire of at least 10 AWG. The ground wire
should have an agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with the other end
attached to building ground. The connector must be crimped with the proper tool, allowing it to be connected to both
ground screws on the enclosure. Before crimping the ground wire into the provided ground lug, ensure that the bare
copper wire has been cleaned and antioxidant is applied to the bare wire. In addition, anti-rotation devices or lock washers
must be used with all screw connections for the grounding wire.
