To attach the grounding lug and cable to the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 in. (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the
grounding cable.
Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding cable into the open end of the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use the crimping tool to secure the grounding cable in the grounding lug.
Step 4 Remove the adhesive label from the grounding pad on the chassis.
Step 5 Place the grounding lug against the grounding pad so that there is solid metal-to-metal contact, and insert
the two M4 screws with washers through the holes in the grounding lug and into the grounding pad.
Step 6 Ensure that the lug and cable do not interfere with other equipment.
Step 7 Prepare the other end of the grounding cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your
site to ensure adequate earth ground.

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. During this
procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the switch.
