Grounding the Switch

Check to determine if your local or national electrical codes require an external ground to all IT
components. If so, connect a ground wire to one of the casing screws and connect the other end to
a valid ground. If you choose to not use the ground screw, make sure that the rack is properly
grounded and that there is a valid ground connection between the chassis of the switch and the
rack. Test the ground using an Ohm meter.
Some national and/or local codes may require IT components to be bonded and exter-
nally grounded (not including the power cord ground). You must follow all national
and local codes when installing this equipment.

responding to each port will light when the physical connection is established (that is, when the
unit is powered on and a cable is plugged into the port with the other end of the connector
plugged into a functioning port). After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching
