Grounding the Switch

This section discusses the importance of grounding the device to the data center ground.

Normally, the functional grounding of the switch is achieved through the input connection. If you would like to do additional grounding, proceed to the following instructions:

Figure 1. Grounding the Switch

 
1 Screw M4 (with washer) 2 Solder terminal lug 3 Grounding point

 

 

Note: Grounding wires and grounding lugs are not supplied with the product. The wire size should meet local and national installation requirements.

 

 

CAUTION: The grounding connection must only be removed if all supply connections are disconnected.

 

  1. Ensure the rack is properly grounded and complies with ETSI ETS 300 253.
  2. Verify a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment).
  3. Attach the solder terminal lug to an 18 AWG minimum grounding wire and connect it to the grounding point on the rear panel of the switch.
  4. Tighten the M4 screw to secure the lug to the grounding point.
  5. Connect the other end of the wire to the nearby grounded surface.
