Chapter 3 Installing the Switch in a Rack

System Ground Connection Guidelines

Parts and Required Tools

Note Some parts and required tools described in this section are not available from Cisco Systems. The grounding lug and associated screws are included with the accessory kit.

To make an adequate grounding connection, you will need the following parts and tools:

Grounding lug—The grounding lug has two #10 AWG holes spaced 0.63 in center to center. A Panduit LCDX6-10A-L or Pencom EL1033 lug may be used if the lug from the accessory kit has been misplaced.

Two M4 (metric) hex-head screws.

One grounding wire (6 AWG recommended)—The length of the grounding wires depends on the location of your switch within the site and its proximity to proper grounding facilities.

Number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Crimping tool—This tool must be large enough to accommodate the girth of the grounding lug when you crimp the grounding cable into the lug.

Wire-stripping tool.
