the power cord into an easily-accessible, properly
grounded outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
12 Install all remaining power supplies by repeating steps
1 through 11 for each power supply.
Note. For OmniSwitch 8800 switches using DC power,
the power cord connector snaps into the connector socket.
A cable retainer is not used.

12 Installing the Hardware
Using the Grounding Wrist Strap and Chassis
Grounding Lug
Because electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage switch
components such as the Network Interface (NI) and Chassis
Management Modules, you must ground yourself properly
before continuing with the hardware installation.
For this purpose, Alcatel provides a grounding wrist strap and
a grounding lug located near the bottom-right of the chassis.
To properly ground yourself, follow the steps below.
1
Fasten the provided grounding strap to your wrist.
2 Insert the wrist strap's connector pin (located at the end
of the strap's tether) into the grounding lug near the
bottom-right of the chassis, as shown.
