Grounding the Switch
This section describes how to connect the switch
to the ground. You must complete this procedure
before powering on the switch.
Required Tools and Equipment:
• One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw
(included in the accessory kit).
• Grounding cable (not included in the accessory
kit): The grounding cable should be sized
according to local and national installation
requirements. Depending on the power supply
and system, a 12 to 6 AWG copper conductor is
required for installation. Commercially available
6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the
cable depends on the proximity of the switch to
proper grounding facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included in the accessory kit).
You can connect the switch to a protective ground
by following the steps below:
1. Verify if the system power is o.
2. Use the grounding cable to place the #8 terminal
lug ring (not included in the accessory kit) on top
of the ground-screw opening.
3. Insert the grounding screw into the ground
screw opening.
4. Using a screwdriver, tighten the grounding screw
to secure the grounding cable to the switch.
5. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end
of the grounding cable to an appropriate
grounding stud or bolt on the rack where the
switch is installed.
6. Verify that the ground connections on the switch
and the rack are securely attached.
