Establishing the System Ground
Step 5 Place the grounding wire lug against the grounding pad, making sure that there is solid metal-to-metal

Step 6
grounding wire will not interfere with other switch hardware or rack equipment.
Prepare the other end of the grounding wire, and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your
Step 7
site to ensure adequate earth ground for the switch.

switch chassis. One pad is located in the upper-left corner of the chassis, and the other is located
in the upper-right corner of the chassis. Additionally, both system grounding pads have 3 M4
