For your switch to be network equipment building system (NEBS) compliant, follow the instructions detailed in this section.
To be NEBs compliant, orient your switch in the rack so that the air inlet is from the front aisle and the air exhaust is to the rear aisle.

Important information
WARNING:
The SFP+, QSFP28, console, Ethernet management, and universal serial bus (USB) ports are suitable for connection
to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. You MUST NOT metallically connect the ports to interfaces that connect to
the out side plant (OSP) or its wiring. Use these interfaces as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described
in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 6) and they require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. Adding primary protectors is not sufficient
protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
WARNING:
If you install and connect the Z9264F-ON switch to a commercial AC power source, connect the switch to an
external special protection device (SPD).
To be NEBS compliant:
•
Locate your switch in a restricted-access area were only trained personnel are allowed access.
•
Install and connect your switch to the common bonding network (CBN).
•
You can also install and connect your switch to the central office.
•
Connect the battery returns of your switch as DC-I.
•
Ground your switch using a copper ground conductor.
•
Clean and coat all bare grounding connection points on your switch with an antioxidant solution before making connections.
•
Bring all unplated ground connection surfaces on your switch to a bright finish and treat them with an antioxidant solution before
making connections.
•
To ensure electrical continuity, remove any nonconductive surfaces on your switch from the ground connection points and threaded
holes that secure the ground lugs.
•
Use the two-hole, Listed, compression-type lug with an AWG 14 gauge wire for switch grounding.
NOTE:
The Z9264F-ON switch can operate at -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC at a maximum current level of 24A.
NOTE:
The Z9264F-ON switch is Earthquake Z4-compliant when you attach the rack rails to the four-post frame using threaded
hardware. Do not use the tool-less or two-post installation methods.
NEBS-compliant ground installation
Before you install the switch into a rack, install the ground (GND) lug assembly.
The switch includes two installed M4 screws on the lower-left side of your switch. The DC switch also includes an assembled UL-certified
GND lug with bracket, packaged separately. The AC switch does not include the UL-certified GND lug with bracket. If any parts are
missing, contact your Dell EMC Sales Representative.
