Installing the Switch Chassis
Warning
Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last.
Before you begin
Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building.
Step 1
Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inch (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire
(we recommend 6-AWG wire for the U.S. installations).
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.

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 the facility ground.
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.
