Grounding The Switch - Cisco IE 2000 Installation Manual

1. The models that support PoE provide up to four ports of either PoE (15.4 W per port; IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (30 W per
port; IEEE 802.3at), depending on the power source used. See
Installing the Power Converter on a DIN Rail, Wall, or Rack Adapter
You install the power converter on a DIN rail, wall, or rack as you would a switch module.
Warning: This equipment is supplied as "open type" equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is
suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to
prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible
only by the use of a tool. The enclosure must meet IP 54 or NEMA type 4 minimum enclosure rating standards.
Statement 1063
Caution: To prevent the switch assembly from overheating, there must be a minimum of 3 inches (76.19 mm) between
any other device and the top, bottom, or sides of the switch assembly.

Grounding the Switch

Follow the grounding requirements at your site.
Warning: 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. Statement 1024
Warning: This equipment is intended to be grounded to comply with emission and immunity requirements. Ensure
that the switch functional ground lug is connected to earth ground during normal use. Statement 1064
Caution: To ensure that the equipment is reliably connected to earth ground, follow the grounding procedure
instructions, and use a UL-listed ring terminal lug suitable for number 10-to-12 AWG wire, such as Hollingsworth part
number R3456B or equivalent)
Caution: Use at least a 4 mm
The ground lug is not supplied with the switch. You can use one of the these options:

Single ring terminal

Two single ring terminals
To ground the switch to earth ground by using the ground screw, follow these steps:
1. Use a standard Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the ground
screw from the front panel of the switch.
Store the ground screw for later use.
2. Use the manufacturer's guidelines to determine the wire length to be stripped.
3. Insert the ground wire into the ring terminal lug, and using a crimping tool, crimp the terminal to the wire. See
Figure 17 on page
If two ring terminals are being used, repeat this action for a second ring terminal.
