Cisco Systems IE301024TC manual Stripping the Ground Wire

Chapter 3 Power Supply Installation

Power-Supply Module Installation

Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

Caution Follow the grounding procedure instructions, and use a UL-listed lug (included with the switch) for number-6 AWG wire and 10-32 ground-lug screws.

Note You can use the grounding lug to attach a wrist strap for ESD protection during servicing.

Follow these steps to install a dual-hole lug on the switch. Be sure to follow any grounding requirements at your site.

Step 1 Use a Phillips screwdriver or a ratcheting torque screwdriver with a Phillips head to remove the ground screw from the cable side of the switch. You need the screw in Step 4.

Step 2 Strip the 6-gauge ground wire to 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). See Figure 3-3. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the connector.
