Establishing System Ground
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Use a wire-stripping tool to remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding
wire.
Step 2
Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the right-angled grounding lug.
Step 3
Crimp the grounding wire in the barrel of the grounding lug. Verify that the ground wire is securely attached to the
ground lug.
Step 4
Secure the grounding lug to the system ground connector with two M4 screws. Ensure that the grounding lug and the
grounding wire do not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.
