Step 3 Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:
a.If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.
Note The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or the lug barrel.
b.If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.
To attach the ESD wrist strap to the system ground lug screw for any of the Cisco Nexus 5500 Series switches, clip the grounding wire to the screw that attaches the grounding lug to the switch chassis (see Figure
