Grounding the Chassis

The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you properly install the switch in a grounded rack with
metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack.
You can alternatively ground the chassis (this is required if the rack is not grounded) by attaching a
customer-supplied grounding cable to the chassis grounding pad and the facility ground.
Warning Statement 1024—Ground Conductor
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
