8. Repeat the previous steps to assemble the other rail and mount it at the other side of the chas-
sis. Once assembled, the rails are ready for chassis installation.

the rail is aligned with the 1U marking on the rack rail.
4.1.1.4 Installing the Grounding Stud
The switch is delivered with a grounding stud kit. No grounding connection is necessary when
fewer than two power supplies are installed.
• Carefully read the safety warnings at the beginning of this document.
• Grounding connection is performed at the customer's site. Connect the chassis to a
reliable earth ground. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during nor-
mal use.
• As a rule of thumb, remember that the ground wire should ALWAYS be the FIRST
thing you hook up, and the last thing that you disconnect.
• Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suit-
ably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
The grounding kit includes the following items:
• A 10-32 5/8" screw
• 3 spring washers
• 2 nuts #10
• Ground label
• Safety warning label.
The Vantage 8500 switch has two grounding connections (grounding holes) as shown. For conve-
nience, grounding can be performed from either of these locations.
