Caution Grounding the chassis is required for Cisco MDS 9506 Directors that have DC power supplies, and Cisco recommends grounding for all other chassis types, although the rack is already grounded. A grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes is provided on the chassis for attaching a grounding lug. The ground lug must be NRTL listed. In addition, copper conductor (wires) must be used and the copper conductor must comply with the NEC code for ampacity.
Figure 2-14 shows the system ground location on the Cisco MDS 9506 chassis.
