Grounding the System
This section describes the need for system grounding and explains how to prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge.
Proper Grounding Practices
Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices
ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and
low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you
reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption.
lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Installing the Slider Rails
Using both hands, position the switch with the back of the switch between the front posts of the rack.
Align the two rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the
rack. Slide the rack-mount glides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch all the way
into the rack. This procedure is the same as that for the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch. See
If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount glides on the slider rails.
Insert two screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on rack type) through the cage nuts and the holes in
one of the front rack-mount brackets and into the threaded holes in the rack-mounting rail. This
procedure is the same as that for the Cisco Nexus 5020 switch. See
Repeat for the front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
