Grounding the Cisco Nexus 7010 Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 7010 system is grounded through the AC power supply cables and one of two
grounding connections on the chassis. The AC power supply cables provide a connection to an earth
ground whenever you connect the AC power to the system. The system ground, also referred to as the
network equipment building system (NEBS) ground, provides additional grounding for EMI shielding
requirements and for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules. This grounding
system is active even when the AC power cables are not connected to the system. You establish this
ground by connecting one of the two grounding pads on the chassis to the rack (if it is connected to an
earth ground) or directly to the earth ground for the data center building.
