Preparing for Installation
After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:
Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:
Step 1
a.
b.
Step 2
Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal
spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so
that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.
Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:
Step 3
a.
b.
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
Caution
between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
Power Requirements
When preparing your site for the switch installation, follow these general requirements:

If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and
unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap
so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.
If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove
the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your
bare skin.
If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws
open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring
clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.
Note
The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw
or the lug barrel.
If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip
directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.
In systems configured with two power supplies, connect each of the two power supplies to a separate
input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure
due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
To prevent a loss of input power, be sure that the total maximum load on each source circuit is within
the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
In some systems, you may decide to use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against
power failures at your site. Be aware when selecting a UPS that some UPS models that use
ferroresonant technology can become unstable when operating with the power supplies which use
power factor correction (PFC). This can cause the output voltage waveform to the switch to become
distorted resulting in an undervoltage situation in the system.
