Grounding The Chassis - Cisco Nexus 9332C Hardware Installation Manual

Grounding the Chassis

1 Fasten the chassis to the front of the rack with two
12-24 or 10-32 screws on each side.
2 Front-mount bracket.
d) Tighten the 10-32 screws to 20 in-lb (2.26 N·m) or tighten the 12-24 screws to 30 in-lb (3.39 N·m).
Step 6
If you attached a grounding wire to the chassis grounding pad, connect the other end of the wire to the facility ground.

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.
Warning Statement 1024 Ground Conductor
This equipment must be grounded. To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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.
