Connecting Earth Ground to an EX Series Switch

To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must connect the switches to earth ground before you connect them to power.

For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the EX Series switch chassis to connect to the earth ground (see Figure 52 on page 141).

Figure 52: Connecting a Grounding Cable to an EX Series Switch

Before you connect earth ground to the protective earthing terminal of an EX Series switch, ensure that a licensed electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable.
