Grounding the Chassis

The switch chassis is automatically grounded when you properly install the switch in a grounded rack with
metal-to-metal connections between the switch and rack.
You can also ground the chassis, which is required if the rack is not grounded, by attaching a customer-supplied
grounding cable. Attach the cable to the chassis grounding pad and the facility ground.
