NOTE: Secure the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way. Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis CAUTION: The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are located on the left side panel. If you use one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you mount the switch in the rack.
Page 16
Figure 8 Attaching the front mounting brackets/chassis rails to the chassis NOTE: As a best practice, use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1 because the grounding cable and grounding screw that come with the switch are suitable only for these two grounding points.
Page 17
Mounting the switch in the rack This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack: Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded. Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch chassis.
Page 18
Figure 11 Mounting the switch in the rack (2) Grounding the switch WARNING! Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND).
Page 19
Attach the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the grounding cable to a grounding point on the switch chassis (see "Connecting the grounding cable to the chassis"). Remove the hex nut of a grounding post on the grounding strip. Attach the ring terminal at the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding strip through the grounding post, and fasten the ring terminal with the removed hex nut.
