Connect the PTX10001-36MR to Ground
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must connect
the chassis to earth ground before you connect it to power. For installations that require a separate grounding conductor
to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the PTX10001-36MR chassis to connect to the earth ground.
NOTE:
An AC-powered PTX10001-36MR gains additional grounding when you plug the power supply into a
grounded AC power outlet by using an AC power cord appropriate for your geographical location.
CAUTION:
cable lug to the grounding cables and power cables that you supply. A cable with an incorrectly attached
lug can damage the PTX10001-36MR (for example, by causing a short circuit).
NOTE:
Mount your device in the rack before attaching the grounding lug to the switch. See Unpack and Mount
the PTX10001-36MR.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available (none are provided):
Grounding cable—The grounding cable must be 8 AWG (8.4 mm²), minimum 90° C wire, or as permitted by the local
code.
Grounding lug for your grounding cable—The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD6-14AH-L or equivalent.
Two M6 x 10 mm screws and washers.
Screwdriver appropriate for the M6 x 10 mm screws.
To connect a grounding cable to the PTX10001-36MR:
1. Attach a grounding cable to earth ground (such as the rack in which the PTX10001-36MR is mounted) and then attach
it to the chassis grounding point.

2. Secure the grounding lug to the protective earthing terminal with the washers and screws. See
Before you connect power to the PTX10001-36MR, a licensed electrician must attach a
