Connecting System Ground and Power

This section describes how to connect the Catalyst 4500 series switches to earth ground. The system ground connection is required if FXS modules are installed or if this equipment is installed in a US or European Central Office.You must complete this procedure before connecting system power or turning on your switch.

To attach the grounding lug and cable to the grounding pad on your Catalyst 4500 series switch, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Using a wire-stripping tool, remove approximately 0.75 inches (19 mm) of the covering from the end of the grounding wire.

Step 2 Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of the grounding lug (Figure 3-17).

Step 3 Using a crimping tool, secure the grounding wire in place in the grounding lug. Step 4 Locate the grounding pad on the switch.

See Figure 3-13for the location of the grounding holes on the Catalyst 4503 switch, Figure 3-14for the location on the Catalyst 4506 switch, Figure 3-15for the location on the Catalyst 4507R switch, and Figure 3-16for the location on the Catalyst 4510R switch.
