Warning
When you are installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last.
Before connecting or disconnecting ground or power wires to the chassis, ensure that power is
Warning
removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is OFF, locate the circuit breaker on the panel
board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, and tape the switch
handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF position. Use a voltmeter to test for 0 (zero) voltage at the
power terminals on the chassis.
Step 1
Ensure that power in the direct current (DC) circuit is off.
Step 2
Remove all paint or oxidation from the rack at the point of the grounding connection.
Step 3
Measure enough wire to connect the Cisco 6260 to the rack. Use 10 American Wire Gauge (AWG) green
or green with yellow stripes wire to ground the Cisco 6260 chassis.
Note
Step 4
Use a wire stripping tool to remove the covering from the end of the grounding wire. The manufacturer
of the grounding lug might have a specific recommendation about the length of wire to be stripped.
Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug. Be careful not to
Step 5
leave any wire strands outside the lug.
Use the crimping tool to compress the lug onto the wire.
Step 6
Step 7
To verify the quality of the crimp, inspect it and tug gently on the wire.
Step 8
Locate the three grounding holes on the Cisco 6260 side panel. (See
Step 9
Match the holes in the grounding lug to the appropriately spaced pair of grounding holes on the side of
the chassis. Use the top two holes for a 5/8-inch lug, as shown in
for a 3/4-inch lug.
