8 Grounding the Switch
It is recommended that the switch changes be installed on a ground compliant rack system.
This will reduce or prevent the risk of shock hazards, equipment damage, and potential of data
corruption.
The switch can be grounded from the switch chassis and/or the DC power supply units (PSUs).
When grounding the DC PSUs, ensure that both PSUs are grounded at the same time in case
one of them is removed. The grounding wire is not provided with the switch package contents.

equipment has been correctly grounded.
The following instructions are for grounding the switch chassis:
1. Before grounding the switch chassis, ensure that the rack is properly grounded and in
compliance with local regulatory guidelines, ensure that a good electrical connection to the
grounding point exists, and remove any paint or materials that may prevent good grounding
contact.
2. Strip the insulation from a size #6 AWG ground wire (not provided), leaving 0.5" +/-0.02"
(12.7mm +/-0.5mm) of exposed grounding wire.
3. Insert the exposed grounding wire all the way into the hole of the ground lug (provided with
switch package contents).
4. Using a crimping tool, firmly secure the grounding wire to the ground lug.
