Cisco Systems 3560-E, 3750-E manual Stripping the Ground Wire

Chapter 3 Power Supply and Fan Module Installation

Installing a DC-Power Supply

Follow these steps to install either a single-ground lug or a dual-ground lug on the switch. Make sure to follow any grounding requirements at your site.

Step 1 Locate the ground lug screw and the lug ring in the switch accessory kit. For a dual-ground connection, locate the dual-ground adaptor (only 24- and 48-port switches) and dual-hole lug that ships with the DC-power-supply module.

Step 2 If your ground wire is insulated, use a wire stripping tool to strip the 12-gauge or 6-gauge ground wire to 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) (Figure 3-4). Use 12-gauge copper ground wire for the single-ground connection. Use 6-gauge copper ground wire for the dual-ground connection.

Step 3 Slide the open end of the ground lug over the exposed area of the wire.

Step 4 Using a Panduit crimping tool, crimp the ground lug to the wire (Figure 3-5).

Step 5 For 24- and 48-port switches, use the ground screw to attach the single-ground lug and the wire assembly or the dual-ground adaptor to the switch rear panel. For a dual-ground adaptor, attach the dual-hole lug and the wire assembly to the adaptor with the supplied nuts (Figure 3-6and Figure 3-7).

For Catalyst 3560E-12D and 3560E-12SD switches, use the ground screw to attach the single-ground lug and the wire assembly, or use two ground screws to attach the dual-ground lug and the wire assembly to the switch rear panel.

Step 6 Using a ratcheting torque screwdriver, torque the ground-lug screws to 60 lbf-in. (960 ozf-in.) (Figure 3-6and Figure 3-7).

Step 7 Connect the other end of the grounding wire to an appropriate grounding point at your site or to the rack.
