Prerequisites for Grounding the Chassis
Before you can ground the chassis, you must have a connection to the earth ground for the data center building. If you installed the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis into a bonded rack (see the rack manufacturer’s instructions for more information) that now has a connection to the data center earth ground, you can ground the chassis by connecting its ground ports to the rack. Otherwise, you must connect the chassis grounding ports directly to the data center ground.
Required Tools and Equipment
To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:
•Grounding
•Grounding
•Grounding
•No. 1 Phillips screwdriver.
•Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.
