CAUTION: Professional installation instructions: This product is designed for specific applications and needs to
be installed by qualified personnel with RF and regulatory related knowledge. The general user shall not attempt
to install or change the setting.

Ground lug

Dell EMC recommends you ground your switch; however, grounding is optional and the ground lug assembly kit is not included
with the switch. The ground lug must be a UL-recognized, crimp-type lug. To order a UL-certified ground lug with bracket,
contact your Dell EMC sales representative.
NOTE: The ground cable is not included with the switch.
NOTE: For AC-powered platforms, although the third conductor of the AC power cord provides a ground path, Dell EMC
recommends grounding your platform with a dedicated ground wire.
To attach a ground lug assembly to the switch, use the included two M3 ground lug bracket screws. The switch ships with the
M3 ground lug bracket screws attached.
CAUTION: Grounding conductors
NOTE: Coat the one-hole lug with an anti-oxidant compound before crimping. Also, bring any unplated mating surfaces to a
clean finish and coat with an antioxidant before mating. Plated mating surfaces must be clean and free from contamination.
NOTE: The rack installation ears are not suitable for grounding.
Before you install the switch into the dual-tray:
1. Cut the ground cable (not included) to the desired length. The cable length must facilitate proper operation of the fault
interrupt circuits. Use the shortest cable route allowable.
2. Unscrew the two attached M3 screws and set aside.
3. Attach the ground lug and bracket to the switch using the M3 screws.
Order a UL-certified GND lug with bracket separately.
