Connecting The Grounding Cable To The Switch - HPE Networking Comware 5960 Switch Series Installation Manual

Figure2-9 Attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch (power
supply-side mounting position for the mounting brackets)
NOTE:
The mounting bracket and chassis rail installation procedures are the same for the left and right
chassis side panels.

Connecting the grounding cable to the switch

IMPORTANT:
• As a best practice, use a torque of 20 kgf-cm (1.96 Nm) to fasten the grounding screws.
• After the switch is mounted in the rack, the grounding points on the side panel will not be
reachable. Connect the grounding cable to a grounding point before installing the switch in the
rack.
The switch provides two grounding points: primary grounding point (with a grounding sign) and
auxiliary grounding point on the left side panel.
Select the grounding point based on the mounting bracket installation positions.
If you install the mounting brackets at the port side, connect the grounding cable to the
•
grounding point (auxiliary) at the port side.
If you install the mounting brackets at the power supply side, connect the grounding cable to the
•
grounding point (primary) at the power supply side.
The grounding cable connection procedure is similar for using the primary or auxiliary grounding
point. The following procedure uses the primary grounding point as an example.
To connect the grounding cable to the switch:
1. Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
2. Use the grounding screws to attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the
grounding holes at the grounding point. Then use a screwdriver to fasten the screws. See
Figure2-10.
