Installing the Switch Chassis

Step 2

Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug, and use a crimping tool to crimp

the lug to the wire (see Callout 2 in the following figure). Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the grounding

lug by attempting to pull the wire out of the crimped lug.

lug and crimped in place

Step 3

Secure the grounding lug to the chassis grounding pad with two M4 screws (see Callouts 1 and 3 in the previous figure),

and tighten the screws to 11 to 15 in-lb (1.24 to 1.69 N·m) of torque.

Step 4

Prepare the other end of the grounding wire and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your site to ensure an

adequate earth ground for the switch. If the rack is fully bonded and grounded, connect the grounding wire as explained

in the documentation provided by the vendor for the rack.

Starting the Switch

You start the switch by connecting it to its dedicated power source. If you need n+1 redundancy, you must

connect each of the power supplies to one or two power sources. If you need n+n redundancy, you must

connect each power supply in a switch to a different power source.

Before You Begin

• The switch must be installed and secured to a rack or cabinet.
